In 1972, the Lakeside Historical Society was formed 90 years after the El Cajon Valley Land Company installed our boathouse in the only natural fresh water lake in San Diego County, thus marking the beginning of our town.
  In those 90 years a lot of our history was not recorded, and so was lost. The Society was formed with the express purpose of recording our passage through the years so that never again would a 90 year period contain so many blanks.
  Today, the Society is not only dedicated to recording our history but to the preservation of our old buildings in a Heritage Park, which we will strive to establish.
  Many of us remember only as far back as our grandparents. The Society has pledged a better fate for Lakeside.

  Do you have an e-mail address that you would like to share with other members of the Lakeside Historical Society? This could be your chance to "TALK" to
some of your long lost friends . . . or tell us your wonderful stories about your memories of Lakeside as it was during the old days. Several of us on the board of directors use the e-mail to communicate back and forth between meetings.  Just send us your e-mail address with the subject "E-mail group" to info@lakesidehistory.org and Richard will place it in the E-Group column.

by family and friends.  What a nice way to remember them.  Look for their names on our Memorial Boards which hang on the wall of the Fellowship Hall in our historical home on Maine Avenue.
