Projects & Adopt-a-Job

This page contains information on future tasks and help needed for the LSCA, Inc. Board & properties.

Our amenities were constructed about 1977. Each year the Board looks at the long-term and immediate needs for improvement or emergency repairs. At the annual meeting, The Board proposes those projects to the attending members for their review and (hopefully) approval.

While we have a nice budget, most it goes to yearly property maintenance. Thus our abilities to improve things for the membership are constrained by the funds that we have.

Below is but a small list of long-term items we need to address. It also does not jump to a solution, as many factors must be considered before one can be chosen and implemented (time, money, etc...)

To accomplish short-term needs we created a list of (hopefully) small tasks (many under an hour) that volunteers can do at their home, or at the Clubhouse. We are calling this "Adopt-a-Job."

Adopt-a-Job
The idea is that a person or family need not commit to a given day, or unknow tasks, but can select a simple task that they may have the skills to accomplish and do that singular item. These could be construction, cleanup/out, landscaping, painting, etc.

In all cases, the persons doing the work must notify a Board member that they are selecting that project/task (so that duplication does not occur) and the person will be reimbursed for materials used. In many cases, we ALREADY have materials on-hand! And do not worry if you do not have skills; we can teach certain skills!
