Lake Havasu people and animals will soon be sharing a three-way water fountain near the hiking, walking and biking trials of Lake Havasu City. The Lake Havasu High School Honor Society, Western Arizona Humane Society, and the City Parks and Recreation department have teamed up on a project that will install a three way water fountain for 
both people and dogs on the far side of the Island next to the biking, hiking and walking trails where it is needed most.
The installation and maintenance will be provided by the parks department. The group has a goal to raise $3,500 to help with the costs of the fountain. The fountain will also be ADA regulated for the accommodation of people with physical disabilities. The area around the water fountain will even be beautifully landscaped with native plants and rocks.
This project is part of a national “Day of Service” program, a program that is designed to help students experience the wonderful rewards of giving back to the local community.
Once the fountain is installed, you can find it on the Island path just across from the Site Six entrance. Contributions are always welcome. If you would like to contribute to this project and more like it, you can send your contributions to the Western Arizona Humane Society at 1100 Empire Drive, Lake Havasu City, AZ, 86406. Or, you can contact them at 928-855-5083.

If you want the best education for your student, you may want to look into Lake Havasu City Schools. We have Lake Havasu students who are becoming college graduates before they finish high school. The Lake Havasu City public school system will see 19 students this year who will graduate college before they graduate high school. This 
amazing progress is due to the student’s willingness, drive and determination to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible by studying more than other students.
With the help of Lake Havasu City teachers, these students have excelled since grade school and have sailed through honors classes. They can now teach themselves by getting together in study groups. In many cases, swapping sleep for homework is how they will earn their associates degree along side of their high school diploma.
Mohave College gives free assessment test to every sophomore interested in taking free college level courses in high school. If they are accepted they begin taking duel enrollment classes during their junior year. The courses available to them are designated courses that meet state requirements for graduating high school and earning their associates degree.
In college, the first two years is generally basic course requirements. So, by starting college while still in high school, they can jump into their major course study when they graduate and save two years of college tuition. Many of the 19 students believe this is a no brainer because of the money and the time they will save in college. It is also a great challenge to them.
If you are looking to relocate to a city that offers better education for students, give Liz Miller a call. She can help you find a home in one of the most exciting tri-city areas in the nation.

Dear Liz:
We would like to thank you for everything you have done for us in regards to the selling of our home in Lake Havasu City.
When our home first went on the market things were very bleak and as time went on, we had to let our first agent go. She wasn't doing anything for us. It was frustrating working with someone who only thought of getting her house sold first. We felt lost and needed to find help fast.
We looked long and hard for a new agent that would help us sell our home. We talked to many real estate agents over the phone. We were looking for answers to our questions. All we found were agents who thought they walked the walk and talked the talk. Some tried to give us an answer, they talked about the government, the way things were, but never really answered our questions. They talked in circles. We were looking for a real estate agent, not a politician.
We wanted someone who would work for us and give us straight answers. We did our homework/research and talked to a real estate agent here in IL. She helped us locate you, Liz. She also did a lot of homework/research regarding the realtors in Lake Havasu City; she called us and gave us your name. She told us that you were the right person to get the job done and helped us get in contact with you.
I must say that every time I call you, you are there ready to help us out with what ever question we may have and if we have to leave a message you return our calls. I remember the first time I called you, you were out of town, but you answered your phone. I was very impressed by that.
You have been very helpful with getting our home sold. We are very please with the way you handled our situation. Since we no longer lived in the area it was very hard to locate someone that would be helpful, trust worthy, understanding to our needs and to be there when we needed you to be there. You were by our side all the way.
Your personality shines through. You are very hard worker, and it shows in everything that you do. You are a go getter. That is what we needed.
Thank you again for all of your time, hard work, and it was a pleasure doing business with you. You tell it like it is. You are truthful and dedicated to get the job done. That is what a real - real estate agent does. I would not hesitate at all, giving your name to others that are looking to sell their home.
Wishing you the very best in all you do.
Sincerely,
Lori and Joe,
Bloomingdale, IL

Hi Liz. I understand that there are a lot of people out there who are apprehensive about buying a home on the internet. I thought if we shared our experience it might help. Living in Hawaii and looking for a home in Lake Havasu we knew we would need a real estate agent that we could trust and that we could work with long distance. After looking through Real Estate Magazines we had picked up on our last trip to Lake Havasu we looked at all the ads from the different Realtors and decided to "Just Call Liz". Best move we ever made. We sent an e-mail to Liz asking her to call and she did, within about 10 minutes! We spent a little time talking to her, telling her what we were looking for in a house and kicking around some ideas with her and she promised to get back to us with some homes to look at. By the next day she had found us four houses to look at and e-mailed us pictures and info on all of them. One of these was our perfect house at the perfect price and we made an offer. Everything was handled by phone, fax and e-mails. There were a few glitches along the way, I think there always are when purchasing a home, but Liz handled everything for us and kept everything moving along smoothly. We went to Lake Havasu to sign the closing papers which wasn't really necessary but we were anxious to see our house and meet Liz in person. I guess the best thing about dealing with Liz is that she listens to what you want and need, doesn't assume she knows better than you do and has been in the business long enough to know a lot of contractors, lenders, service people, etc. so is able to help with whatever you might need. Internet shopping for a new home can be fun and a little scary. Working with the right Realtor can make all the difference. My advice to anyone contemplating an internet home purchase? Just call Liz. Our first friend in Lake Havasu! Lee & Sherrie Wooden Kailua Kona Hawaii Thank you Liz for all the hard work and professionalism in selling our home and were delighted that you sold it within our time frame! You always had time for us and gave helpful advice and had wonderful ideas. We were immediately drawn to your professionalism and positvie attitude and knew your hard-work ethics would be successful. You have a great sense of humor and we wish you the very best!
Thank you,
Jim & Donna Griese
