Greetings from the family of Willie & Helen Lake of Washington, DC. (Willie is a son of Lossie Mae Lake (Deceased). Lossie Mae Lake was the first Treasurer of the Wilson, Lake, Herbert DC Chapter Family Reunion Circle.)

We were blessed to have all five of our children (Gale, Orlando, Angela, Karen and Willie, Jr.) together in the same room (Banquet Hall at Metro Points Hotel) this year on 7-27-12 when we celebrated the retirement of Willie from his self-owned business of 14 years– WL  Trucking/Concrete.

Grandson, Malik, enjoyed his employment again this year as a summer youth camp counselor for Watkins Recreation Center, Washington, DC.

Granddaughter, Lauren, Honor Roll student, was promoted to 2^nd grade.

Granddaughter, Lania, completed a Pre-kindergarten course this year with honors and will begin Kindergarten this school season.

Granddaughter, Shamiqua, is participating in a culinary six-week externship program in Alaska from GSU.

Our greetings and love is sent out to each of you.  Willie & Helen Lake, DC Chapter, Washington, DC
