Notice to All Leinkauf Residents and Members
May 13, 2026
Please be advised that the Leinkauf Historic District Neighborhood Organization (LHDNO) is currently in a reorganization phase.
As formal elections have not been held since 2024, there is currently no duly elected board authorized to conduct standard business. Consequently, a caretaker group comprising residents and former board members has formed to reconstitute the organization. This group will contact you shortly regarding next steps and to solicit your input.
The Caretaker Group has secured the LHDNO funds and accounts at PNC Bank. No funds will be withdrawn until a newly elected board selects Executive Officers as required by the Bylaws. Funds to maintain the website and other ongoing expenses approved by the last board will be paid. Additionally, the group has completed the necessary government filings to maintain our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.
LHDNO remains vital to our community. Its past initiatives include street and sidewalk paving, a major street lighting project, fundraising for Leinkauf Elementary, and advocacy for the historic character of our neighborhood and the City of Mobile.
While the organization has achieved significant milestones, important work remains. Our immediate priorities are to reorganize, expand membership, convene a neighborhood meeting, and set an election date to establish a new Board of Directors and officers as soon as possible.
If you have questions or would like to assist with these efforts, please send your comments to Leinkaufhdno@gmail.com.
Best regards,
Bill Boswell and the Care-Taker Group

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.
