LOE Book Club We meet the 4th Monday of each month at 7:30 P.M. (unless we decide to skip a month or change the meeting day). We take turns hosting the meeting and sometimes change the date or book, so please contact celeste.fritz@gmail.com to get the details for each meeting. Our group has lively discussion (not totally about the books) and we challenge ourselves to read out of our comfort zones.

July 23 – Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II by Liza Mundy.

Recruited by the U.S. Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. A strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history; now, through dazzling research and interviews with surviving code girls, bestselling author Liza Mundy brings to life this riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and scientific accomplishment.

So many books, so little time!.....

Another LOEST season is over and great fun was had by all! The team had some very close meets and swimmers dropped times and improved their stroke techniques. The meets ran very smoothly, thanks to all of our volunteers who did such a great job! Many swimmers enjoyed some extra competition at the invitational meets.

Crossword Puzzle

After the season is over, we will once again offer a Fall Swim Clinic for swimmers looking for conditioning and stroke development. The clinic is available to all families, but slots are limited.

Lakes on Eldridge Dive In Movie Night Saturday, July 14th, 8pm It's going to be hot this July, so come dive in the pool and enjoy a movie with us. Movie will start at 8pm. We will have popcorn and drinks, but don't forget your floaties! This year we will be showing the record-breaking hit Black Panther.

All LOE Pool Rules will be in effect and must be followed during this event for the safety of everyone. The pool is Swim At Your Own Risk. Children under the age of 16 must have a supervising adult present at all times. All attendees should have a signed agreement for the LOE Pool Rules and a Waiver on file with Creative Management Company.

LOE is great place to be in the summer, but others in our community are not so lucky, like the residents of the Mission of Yahweh women's and children's shelter. We'd like to make their summer a little more fun by giving them the supplies for a movie/ game night of their own. Please bring a donation of new movies or board games, snacks/juice boxes, or unopened paper plates/napkins/ cups. Thank you!

Lakes on Eldridge LOE Recycle Day -- Shredding the Past with not filling up our landfill’s space, recycling saves our planet from water and air pollution associated with them.

You can do your part by recycling what you can and purchasing items that have already been recycled. We hope to provide this service annually. Watch for us next year. Many thanks to our wonderful volunteers who helped make this a success:

On Saturday, June 2nd , Lakes on Eldridge provided paper shredding services by Texas Security Shredding and electronics recycling by PNC Recycling. Several neighbors took advantage of this event as we had a record poundage of paper shredded and an entire box truck completely full of electronics.

Wayne & Deb Gan, Bob Higdon, Kirby & Carrie Loid, Bob & Karen Parker, Tom, Gaynor, & Alexis Richardson, John & Sue Strebel, and Veerle Swinnen.

Why is recycling important? Recycling takes non-used items and turns them into reusable resources. Companies will separate the paper, plastic, wires, glass, and other components from the electronics and sell them off to other companies that will in turn repurpose this material. This not only disposes of items in a safe way, but also keeps the waste out of our landfills. Our planets’ resources are limited and we can stretch these resources by recycling. Along

Lakes on Eldridge Maintenance Update as of June 15, 2018

OPPORTUNISTIC THEFTS We are now entering the summer season.

This is the period where we have observed in past years an uptick in the number of "opportunistic thefts".

Almost all of these could have been avoided if some basic precautions been taken by the victims.

Some of the major recent items include: • • • • • • • • • • • •

Stripped and painted the Eldridge entry and exit gates.

Reinforced the north Clubhouse entry gate.

Replaced the defective fob lock on the south Clubhouse entry gate.

Replaced all broken tile coping around the swimming pool.

Increase lighting for the Ginger Pond entry/exit gates.

Stabilized the large leaf, 10 seat Clubhouse tables with new leaf locks.

Replaced dead palm tree for culdesac at end of Auburn Shores.

Replaced two burned out underwater swimming pool lights.

Replaced backup battery power source for Clubhouse cameras and Mag-lock system.

Repainted white parking place markings for Clubhouse parking lots.

Replaced damaged children’s swing seat for Auburn Shores playground area.

Rebooted and saved the virus attached NVR recorders for cameras all three gate locations

While our patrol is aware of the threat and concern and is continually roving our Community to detect suspicious activity, residents are more likely to avoid such thefts by simply locking their cars, their garages (both main and side access doors) and any access to their homes including through the back doors.

Thank you for you diligence.
