INSTALLING PICNIC TABLES AT HELIPAD PARK

Thanks to Councilman Joe McIntyre, Ivanhoe Volunteer's Mollie & Ed Vieau, Ron & Karen Sikora and Chuck Vonderlin .  Thanks also to the students at Kirbyville High School for building the tables and to Marvin Kraft AG Teacher.

FIREWORKS FOR JULY 4TH

Since we have received much needed rain in the area, the Ivanhoe Volunteer Fire Dept. is going to provide our fireworks for July 4th on JUNE 30th.  They have scheduled it for this date due to the fact that we do have so many property owners that are up here on the weekends.  As always you can park at the Community Center, Candy Cane Park or the Charmaine Park across from the community center for the best viewing.  Many residents "float the Boat" and view from the lake.  Invite your family and friends to come join you as we celebrate July 4th on JUNE 30th. (Saturday)

Plans To Start Re-Posting to the Blog

As has been reported. The blog was discontinued for a few months due to  more commitments that I (the blogmaster) could possibly meet and continue to be sane.  There was also the use of the comments section on the blog to make comments about hard working volunteers that were nothing more than vicious gossip.  This blog was set up to be a "information board" for those property owners who were unable to attend meetings or unable to come to their property on a regular basis.  We also have many residents that due to health issues use our blog to keep up with what is going on in our city.  We have been encouraged by many residents to "please" start posting to the blog again.  So, here we go......sorry, the comments section will continue to be blocked, but if you do have a question for the IPOIA Board, please email them at IPOIA.Board@gmail.com    FYI:  I will get all  the City info and post it later.  

IPOIA Monthly Meeting - March 10, 2012 at 10 A.M.

Make plans to attend the monthly IPOIA meeting at the Buck Priest Community Center.  Thanks to the Friends of Ivanhoe for the successful garage sale that was held last month to raise money to repair the signs at the front entrance of Ivanhoe.  A special thanks to Karen Hamilton and all those who volunteered.

Lake Charmaine and Galahad News

At the last IPOIA meeting which was held January 14th, it was decided to open Lake Charmaine and Galahad to motorized boating.  We do ask that you stay back from the dams to prevent wave action against the aprons.  Hopefully the rains will continue and we will not have to close the lakes again.  IPOIA Board of Directors
