Excellent question — this is something many would like to see on the website. Privacy issues have been a concern as well. I will bring this to the attention of our Membership representative and the rest of the Lago Mar Civic League Board.
Thank you so much for stopping by the site and for contacting LMCL. We hope to see you at the General Meeting Tuesday, 9/22.

[A neighboring property where ] …. The grass is about a foot long and debris is everywhere. It is a festering ground for rodents and snakes. Something has to be done. It is definitely a dangerous area and I am concerned about children and pets. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

we still use the old directory from the early 1990’s. I have tried to find the on line directory for Lago Mar using the civic league web site but have not been successful. How can I find it?
