Welcome to Lowell Damon Woods |
 Lowell Damon Woods Neighborhood Association Inc. is a non-profit organization of volunteers from Lowell Damon Woods, a neighborhood of nearly 500 households in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Our neighborhood is located south and west of Wauwatosa's City Hall and Public Library. We named our neighborhood for Lowell Damon, a pioneer settler of Wauwatosa whose home at 2107 Wauwatosa Avenue is the oldest house in the city. Part of that house is a museum owned by the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Much of the land in our neighborhood belonged to the Damon family. Our web site contains information about the Association, the Lowell Damon Woods neighborhood, events and volunteer opportunities, an online version of our newsletter, and links to other community web sites. Our aim is to bring neighbors together and give the Lowell Damon Woods neighborhood a better sense of identity. |

Thanks For All Of The Great Memories
Good Bye Neighbors,
It is finally time to step down as President. After 3 1/2 yrs, I think it is time for someone else to bring their vision to the neighborhood. I will be staying on the Board so I’m not going away and I will be more than happy to give my 2-cents to anyone willing to listen.
I must say; I’m pretty proud of what we’ve added to our neighborhood and the projects we were able to accomplish over the last years. Our neighborhood is strong and vibrant and full of willing volunteers that are there to lend a hand when asked. What more could I, or our fabulous board ask for?
I want to take a few lines to thank all of the people who make our neighborhood spin like a top. First off, my wife Kris, who loves this neighborhood as much as I do. She has always gone out of her way to try and make me look good and that is no small feat. I, of course, need to thank our Board of Directors. Their wisdom and the pride they have for the neighborhood they live is second to none.
One of the best things about being President was meeting many of you. I hope that doesn't change going forward.
Moving on now. We just had a huge neighborhood picnic. Can you imagine over 100 neighbors at the Lowell Damon House to celebrate our membership drive and getting together to enjoy each others food and company. The star of the show was the Pig and Chickens cooked by Chef Bracken Heiges and his Sous Chefs Don Rossner and Ron Hawes.
We also awarded our 1st Annual Distinguished Neighbor award to Dave Vogel for all that he has done for our neighborhood over the years and especially when the association was first formed. Congrats again Dave.
Cool things going forward is our new tradition of a Halloween block party. Look for details inside. Of course there are a couple of TGIF’s coming up and our yearly Christmas cookie exchange and photos with Santa.
