Band is Back - Friday Evening

"They're back!" Yes this coming Friday evening August 22nd at 7:00 PM, under the Lakewood Village outdoor canopy our very own North Little Rock Concert Band returns to entertain us with live music for the final time this year! We had the pleasure of listening to their fine music on the Village patio last July 25th as well as the pleasure of talking with some of their fans all the way from Cabot as well as from NLAN. It's a joy to be able to enjoy this fine art and they're willing to bring it to us right in our own backyard! So bring lawn chairs, blankets and something cool to drink and come on out to the Village to meet and talk with your fellow music lovers from NLAN as well as our fellow neighbors from all over Central Arkansas! It's a treat you don't want to miss!!! Pray that "Fickle Fay" stays stalled for a bit longer and tomorrow evening we can enjoy dry weather with 'music in the summer air'!

Oak Tree Circle Pod

Our little island pod on Oak Tree Circle is looking much better now that it has received a little TLC from our NLR City Street Department. Thanks to Pat Lane and his crew for coming out and hitting a good lick on this NLAN property. Your timing was terrific in that all this wonderful cool rain came immediately after your maintenance work order was performed and everything is looking much fresher and greener! Again, thanks for taking care of us!

NLR Electric Energy Audit

Recently, Mr. Keith McCourt from the North Little Rock Electric Department came to our home to perform an energy audit. We were extremely pleased with his detailed inspection, recommendations, and "tips" to help us save on our energy bills. We believe an energy audit, which is a free service, would be of benefit to all our NLAN neighbors.

If you are interested in scheduling this FREE energy audit for your home, you should call 975-8769 at the North Little Rock Electric Department.

NLR Peddler's ID Card Up-Date

At our NLAN meeting last evening we had Mr. Jerry Reagan, Director of Fiscal Control for the City of North Little Rock, talking on the official NLR Licensed Peddler's ID Card. Attending our meeting by invitation was Eric Francis of the Argenta News Blog. Being the former editor of "The NLR Times" has in part equipped Eric to draw on his vast journalistic background when reporting a story and he has done an excellent job in presenting the facts on what took place in our meeting regarding this subject. By permission we are encouraging you to go to the Argenta News Blog (it's site link is listed to the right on our blog) and read his fine detailed report. Thank you, Eric!
