July 4th Celebration
We’re excited to announce the return of the July 4th Celebration which will include a concert at Founders Park featuring Undercover and a spectacular firework show. This year would be a great time to sign-up to join the annual Freedom Run and enjoy a pancake breakfast. Congratulations to the Perkins family who are the winners of the LARCS July 4th Celebration Save My Spot contest.

2022 Assessments (Master Association and Special Benefit Areas)
As everyone has experienced, costs have continued to rise which has impacted operating and maintenance costs (e.g., utilities, landscaping, materials and labor) for LARMAC. As of June 1, new assessment rates for the master association and special benefit areas take effect. Although the new rates reflect current costs, your Ladera Ranch association membership remains an excellent value and has one of the lowest assessment rates compared to other local master-planned communities.

LARCS Lifestyle Legacy
The LARCS Board was disappointed that it had to cancel many of its signature events in 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic due to state and health agency mandates. However, this presented an opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade. LARCS is funded through a one-time fee that is generated on every home that is sold in Ladera, and sales over the past few years have been strong.

Additionally, there were cost savings resulting from canceled signature events. This led to the LARCS Board exploring new and unique lifestyle opportunities and partnering with LARMAC to identify new lifestyle-related amenity projects that LARCS could fund to further add to the community. As a result, LARCS is providing a one-time investment to fund the installation of a second 9-hole Disc Golf course along the Yukon Riley Trail, four Pickleball courts, and a basketball half-court at the Avendale Village Clubhouse.

Pool and Bike Safety
As we head into summer, we want to encourage everyone to take the time to plan for and practice safety – around water (pools, wading pools) and on any type of transportation (eBikes, bikes, hoverboards, etc.). Schedule swim lessons, remain vigilant and pay close attention to your child. Also, schedule time to maintain your bike’s brake and system; consider taking a bike safety and maneuvering class. See LaderaLife.com/eBikes for safety updates and resources.

Summer Events
We have a terrific schedule of community events for you to enjoy including Family Campout and the Summer Concert Series with bands playing at Town Green and Founders Park. Be sure to visit LaderaLife and watch for Ladera Happenings emails for the latest updates and announcements. On behalf of the LARCS and LARMAC Board of Directors, we wish you and your family a terrific summer.
