New boards at LVA, golf club
Hi Y’all! Is it cold enough for you? All my family and friends in Georgia are sending pictures of their snow-covered yards. I thought they had moved to the north.
On Jan. 6, the Lanark Village Association had its first members’ meeting. The new board is Chairman Debbie Howells; Secretary Kathy Brown; Treasurer Barbara Nolen, and the four governors, Bert Boldt, Roy Hall, Janie Shafer and Bobbi Trickett. Congratulations to the 2025 LVA Board. The association has quite a “to-do list” and will move forward with its meager budget. We were honored to have Commissioner Cheryl Sanders and Franklin County Chief Deputy Cliff Carroll attend the meeting to update us on current issues in the county and answer questions the members may have.
