SPRING IS HERE!
About the association
To promote the quality of life in the community by sustaining and promoting the living conditions in the
village of Lamont. Activities include decorating the boulevard with Christmas lights, cleaning and maintaining
the boulevard and organizing various community social meetings.
The association was formed in 1958. The objective then was:
- To sustain and improve living conditions in the Village of Lamont
- To protect the natural beauty of the village and promote future projects to maintain and improve its streets and parks
- To cooperate with Church and School groups.
- To promote safety programs pertaining to traffic and pedestrian safety, fire prevention, etc.
- To arrange and maintain decorations at Christmas time
The Association maintains this philosophy yet today. The Lamont Civic Association has recently been filed as a non-profit
charitable organization, and as such all donations made to the Associations will be tax deductible.
The Association puts up the Christmas lights and luminaries in the boulevard every winter, maintains the boulevard, puts up
flags lining the boulevard in the summer. We also try to sponsor various community socials.

TAKE NOTE...
There’s a park in Lamont! Drive east down the boulevard and look to your right just after the Metron driveway. Two cement pads were poured last fall, and a small parking lot will soon be constructed. A picnic table and sitting bench are there for you to enjoy. The Civic Association hopes to raise enough money to eventually put a gazebo in the park. Drive or walk by, and check it out.
