Please keep in mind that LMOA's administrative offices will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday.
The Pub is closed on Thanksgiving Day but welcomes your business for lunch and Cajun Night on the 24th! Be sure to reserve HERE!
Trash Service will be on Friday and Saturday this week. If your normal trash and recycling day is Thursday, your totes will be emptied on Friday, November 24. If your normal day is Friday, your totes will be emptied on Saturday, November 25.
