President's Note

Hard to believe today is the last day of the year 2017 and this is our last publication for the year!  My family and I spent much of the past few weeks reflecting and celebrating moments through the seasons.  As usual, I'm out of words to summarize the year.  We have so much to celebrate and as an organization, I'm very proud of what we have been able to achieve in the short amount of time since my term as President of the neighborhood association.  I am grateful for the support received and the overall experience gained which contributed to my personal growth and friendships formed.  There is much left to do and know that we are stronger together than we are as a separate entity.  With that, I will leave you with a quote from Hubert H. Humphrey "The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it." 

It is with gratitude we thank all of you, LENA volunteers and members, neighbors, and our neighborhood business sponsors.  Let's not forget the past LENA Board members who have paved the way.  We look forward to continuing the growth of our community.   

To all have a wonderful Happy New Year!

Survey on the future of Monona Golf Course


The Golf Committee of the Madison Parks Board has put forward a number of options to address a revenue gap for the city’s golf courses. Some of these options include the possibility of closing Monona golf course. Since this could greatly effect our neighborhood, the LENA board is looking to formulate an official position in the matter and is looking for neighborhood input. Please fill out the below information.

Feel free to share this widely as the survey is not intended to be limited to Lake Edge residents.

Dean's Trees

How can you gain the holiday spirit and buy (neighborhood) local?  A visit to Dean Mueller's place on Maher Avenue for your Christmas tree will help.  Dean has sold Christmas trees, from his front yard, since 1987.  Right here in the middle of Lake Edge neighborhood.  These are trees he grows on his family tree farm, in Adams county.  READ MORE...
