MEMBERSHIP

 

The Board’s work continues in committee during the year as they seek LHDNO residents in good standing with LHDNO to serve as Board Representatives.  

​

By Laws Amendment

​

You have received an email recently with a proposed change to the LHDNO By Laws as to how the Executive Committee members (officers) are to be selected going forward.  The change is from district wide "at large" elections to select officers, to the selection of officers by the nine elected elected Board members from their ranks. This alters the number of serving Board members from 13 to 9, with 4 of the 9 elected by a vote of the Board to serve in the officer roles.

​

LIGHT UP LEINKAUF!

 

One of LHDNO's biggest projects has been our LIGHT UP LEINKAUF! lighting project. After many years, the 2023 year finally saw the installation of new lighting in the Battery Heights area.

​

Congratulations and Thanks to LHDNO and the 2018 Ad Hoc Lighting Committee, and to former Councilman Levon Manzie, who will be remembered for his steadfast support on this project.

​

Hopefully the future will see an expansion of this project to other streets in LHDNO.

Remembering Carol Adams-Davis

​

The following tribute was posted by MHDC to the City of Mobile website to note the passing of Carol Adams-Davis, a lifelong resident of the Leinkauf Historic District who served as secretary of our LHDNO organization and representative of Leinkauf on the MHDC.  Carol will be missed for her passion for the city's history, historic districts, and for the earth:

MHDC issues statement on passing of Carol Adams-Davis

Mobile, Ala. —  On Tuesday, Oct. 31, the Mobile Historic Development Commission (MHDC) issued the following statement regarding the passing of longtime member Carol Adams-Davis.

 

“The Mobile Historic Development Commission sadly notes the passing of Carol Adams-Davis on Oct. 29, 2023. Ms. Adams-Davis was an active and engaged member of the Commission for over a decade, and her tireless support of historic preservation in the city of Mobile was inspiring. She was born and raised in the Leinkauf Historic District in the home that her father built in 1947.  

After living in California, Ms. Adams-Davis returned to her family home in Leinkauf, where she lived out her remaining years. In addition to her long service on the MHDC, Ms. Adams-Davis served in leadership roles in the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sierra Club, as well as the Leinkauf Historic District Neighborhood Organization.

The MHDC extends our heartfelt condolences to Carol’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
