The Laurelhurst Community Club has been in the process of updating its website after many, many years. The new website, has a new look, with clear and easy navigation and has a wide variety of interesting information, including a detailed list of neighborhood projects and corresponding documents, LCC newsletters past and present and community resources.
The website says:
The Laurelhurst Community Club (LCC), formerly the Laurelhurst Improvement Club, was established in 1920 to foster the improvement and beautification of the Laurelhurst neighborhood. We seek to identify and address community concerns and to provide a forum to promote solutions by working with the community at large, other civic organizations, and government.
LCC Trustees and many others serve on committees, representing our community in other organizations, and work on community improvement or special projects or specific issues such as crime prevention, transportation, or land use. These neighbors contribute hundreds of hours each year to maintain the livability and vitality of our community. If there is anything of concern or interest to Laurelhurst neighbors, you can be sure that LCC is on top of it.
LCC also has a new logo seen above and said in its most recent newsletter that it is "a graphic element that visually captures the essence of the natural beauty and community spirit of our neighborhood."
The LCC newsletter article also said about the logo created by designer, Sarah Tyson:
The LCC Board of Trustees is appreciative of Sarah’s creative talent and generosity. Sarah’s connection to the Laurelhurst neighborhood informed her work: “I have a deep fondness for Laurelhurst. My siblings and I would race around the playfield, push each other as fast as we could on the merry-go-round and climb to the top of the red-roped structure.
Perched in the back of my grandparent’s bright blue Volvo we’d cruise up and down the steep “wow” hills to pick blackberries lakeside. I went to college right down NE 45th Street at the UW and spent my studies trekking across the Pacific Northwest and the Andean Mountain range collecting plant specimens for DNA analysis.
After graduating I taught preschool at the Sandpoint Child Development Center and developed curricula with an emphasis on outdoor learning and stewardship. I’ve since become a user interface (UI) and web freelance designer with a propensity for community engagement, environmental activism, and education through visuals. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to collaborate with the LCC.
The website also has revamped the way neighbors can pay dues with a few clicks to pay LCC Annual dues. LCC has also changed the return envelope with a new self sealing envelopes that will be sent out to neighbors next month. Dues were $70 last year and this year are $75 and $25 for landscaping and there is an "optional donation" area to support neighborhood projects. It is reported that about 350 total neighbors on average participate in paying dues, which includes these of what dues went towards last year.
Paying dues for Private Security Patrol, $200 per household, can also be completed with just a few clicks. It has been reported that LCC averaged about $25,000 in revenue for the 2020-2021 year. Patrol officers generally work 4-5 days per week, 4-5 hours a day, mostly through the evening till early morning hours.
Neighbors can also click on a button to attend via Zoom the monthly LCC meetings held the 2nd Monday of each month from 6:30-8pm and is open to the public.
