Lake Havasu City Properties donated $1,000 worth of signs to the community that read ???Kids Playing Drive 25.???
Dean Baker, owner of the real estate company, said, ???Driving around the city, I noticed people had makeshift cardboard signs in their yards asking people to slow down because of kids playing. Our signs are bright yellow and are made out of quality metal. They include a steel stake so that they can be placed in the front yard of any home.???
The signs are not intended to be a speed limit sign, Baker said. The signs need to be posted in the correct speed zones. This information can be obtained from the Lake Havasu City Police Dept. at 855-4884.
The signs are free; however, Baker is asking that in exchange for a sign, residents donate a few items of canned food so that the company can also help the local food bank with their current shortage. The signs can be picked up at Lake Havasu City Properties, 116 S. Lake Havasu Ave. #101, across the street from Big 5 Sporting Goods. Lake Havasu City Properties can be reached at 854-7210.
Displaying the signs are (back row) Sharon Cook, Dean Baker, Danny Kurtz, Debbie Huff and Lance Matzdorff. In front are Lori Rule and Jack Huff.
Pictured above is the food collected for the local Lake Havasu City food bank from the ???Drive 25 kids are playing??? signs donated by Lake Havasu City Properties. The entire bed of the pickup truck was filled with food for the needy.

This year we also had entries from Australia, Canada and Germany.
The former Lake Havasu City cultural center is in sorry shape.
The windows have all been smashed, and broken glass and trash are strewn on the pavement. The landscaping is mostly dead trees and shrubs, and an iron lamppost lies on its side, covered in rust.
But for Dean Baker, the accumulation of large graffiti was the final straw.
???It???s 500 feet from the second biggest tourist attraction in Arizona,??? said Baker, owner of Lake Havasu City Properties. ???Every tourist, just as they cross the London Bridge, they see it. It looked like it???s right out of downtown east L.A.???
Armed with 20 gallons of paint donated from Progressive Drywall, Dean and five employees spent three hours Sunday painting over graffiti that covered the building.

Lake Havasu City properties is now an official drop off point for Cell Phones for Soldiers. Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas in 2008. To do so, Cell Phones for Soldiers expects to collect 15,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country.
The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone - enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad.
"Americans will replace an estimated 130 million cell phones this year," says Mike Newman, vice president of ReCellular, "with the majority of phones either discarded or stuffed in a drawer. Most people don't realize that the small sacrifice of donating their unwanted phones can have a tremendous benefit for a worthy cause like Cell Phones for Soldiers."
Please donate your old cell phone to Lake Havasu City Properties Office located at 116 S. Lake Havasu Ave, just across the street from Big 5 Sporting Goods.
