Next LOKOL Public Forums April 27 at Old Fair House

[Peter Grossetti]

Our next set of Lakewood Observer Know Our Lakewood (LOKOL) Public Forums will be held Saturday April 27 in conjunction with the Old House Fair 2013 at Harding Middle School at 16601 Hillard Road.

Two different forums will be presented twice each:

Great Paint Discussion at noon and 2:00PM
This panel discussion will assess exterior siding options ad dilemmas for the typical Lakewood wood-sided house (even if covered up by synthetic siding) so that homeowners can make well-informed choices for their homes.

The Giving Tree at 1:00PM and 3:00PM
This panel discussion will create interest in investing time and money into keeping Lakewood a city of trees. You'll learn what it takes to ensure trees are important part of our city landscape for future generations.

Old House Fair 2013 will feature dozens of local exhibitors knowledgeable and experienced in old homes. Free admission! Something for everyone! Kid friendly! Brought to you by Lakewood City Schools Community Recreation & Education Department. Lakewood Observer, and Lakewood Hardware. For exhibitor information, call 216-226-8822.

LOKOL (sounds like "local", get it?) is a new series of interactive public forums designed to help The Lakewood Observer Project reach our mission (to attract, articulate, and amplify civic intelligence and community good will in the city of Lakewood and beyond) and goal (to help Lakewood residents and neighbors learn as much as possible about the city).

Any Lakewood civic entity, non-profit organization, or special interest group interested in participating in one of our monthly public forums should contact me at petergrossetti@lakewoodobserver.com. Or if anyone has an ideas about what they might think would be a good topic, please get a hold of me. Together, we will try to make it happen!
