Lexington Place Civic Corporation was originally established on August 2, 1988.
Since the organization's founding many improvements to the sub-division have taken place. Everything from planting trees on De Bouchel Blvd., creating gardens, building the entrance wall, holiday decorating, enforcing covenants, to working with parish government was made possible by years of hard working, dedicated LPCC members. Pre-Katrina Lexington Place was known for spectacular neighborhood events. Halloween, Christmas lights, a Mardi Gras Parade, an LPCC 5K Run and an Easter Egg Hunt brought neighbors together annually for fun and fundraising. We thank all past officers and members who made valuable contributions to our establishment as a premier neighborhood.
Post-Katrina efforts have included re-establishing membership and the newsletter, restoring the entrance wall, purchasing a digital information wall, planting Bradford pear trees along the boulevard, reporting blighted properties, and monitoring residential census data. Neighbors now gather annually for a "members only" Crawfish Boil. Our Neighborhood Watch efforts include a weekly bike ride along LPCC streets. And, we love to gather for Christmas Caroling!
The greatest efforts since our complete devastation on August 29, 2005 have been that of our resilient home owners restoring their homes. As 21st century "pioneers," we have shown a deep commitment to RETURN, REBUILD, and REMAIN in St. Bernard Parish.
This organization needs all residents to keep re-building efforts strong. Please consider joining today by clicking on the Membership Form tab. Membership dues are $50 per year collected in February. If you have any questions please contact your Block Captain or an Officer by clicking on the Board Members tab. Click on the Home tab to see your officers. Officers are pictured for your convenience in recognizing us as we drive through the neighborhood.
Newsletters are delivered to members every other month by Block Captains. E-mail updates are sent to those who provide their address on the membership application form. LPCC membership meetings are held at 7:00pm on the 3rd Thursday every other month at Joseph Davies Elementary School, 4101 Mistrot Drvie.
The magic of a great neighborhood depends on our combined efforts to maintain neat yards & driveways, to keep vehicles off of the median, to report all piles of debris, to watch out for and meet neighbors AND to join the Lexington Place Civic Corporation. Whether you're a returning homeowner or a brand new homeowner we welcome you to our neighborhood. We're proud to be LPCC!
