New Neighborhood Entry Sign

We unveiled our new neighborhood entry sign by the intersection of S. Thornton Ave and S.

Our thanks go out to Rick Magley for being our Project Manager on this task.

Wash the Bridge!
April 29, 2018
Washington Bridge is a historical and beautiful piece of our neighborhood. This Spring the Lawsona Fern Creak beautification committee organized a small get together to give the bridge some love and attention it deserved. We enjoyed ourselves and recruited a passing by neighbor to join in on the fun! You can see the difference the cleaning made with the polished side on the right and the to be cleaned side on the left.
If you're interested in future events like these, please contact the beautification committee at president@lawsonaferncreek.org and/or check out the Beautification Committee's page!
