Entrance lights repaired

A special thank you goes out to LaFayette Ridge's Mike Walsh (Sandy's son) for his help in isolating the electrical problems in the neighborhood entrance lighting.

Without Mike's help, it would have been much more difficult to rework the wiring to get the lights working again. The lights were damaged due to a recent lightning strike.

Thanks, Mike!

Get Well Soon

LaFayette Ridge neighbors have been battling various ailments this summer, one even potentially life threatening.

Hunter Scruggs, son of Tom and Shanda, is recovering at Scottish Rite Children's Hospital from a serious staph infection. Hunter picked up the infection from his Loganville High School-issued football shoulder pads.

Ms. Emma recently suffered a minor heat stroke. She is doing well and staying cool.

And, Robby is still recovering from having back surgery several weeks ago. He's getting stronger each day.

We're hoping all our neighbors get well soon!
