Thanks to Our Volunteers

Please be sure to thank your neighbors who volunteer for their efforts to make Lakeport a better place for all of us to live while also saving the HOA considerable money. If you want to volunteer, let the Board or a committee chair know—it’s a great way to meet your neighbors and contribute to your community.
