LAIA Annual Assessment Reminder - Due May 28
Thank you to all residents who have already paid their LAIA annual assessment. As a reminder, the assessment is due by May 28 and must be received no later than June 6 in order to avoid a late fee.
If you did not receive an invoice, or have any billing questions, please contact Angela Webb (awebb@thecondopros.com) at Select Community Management. If anyone needs a special payment plan to meet their assessment obligation, these can be requested either through contacting LAIA’s Treasurer or Select Community Management.
Calling All Grads!
Do you know a graduating Senior? We'd love to hear about them. A brief bio including a photo, some of their achievements and plans for the fall would be great! Please send these to Katie at social@lochalpine.org by May 19.
Coyotes In Our Midst
Coyotes have settled on the former golf course, so be careful with pets.
From Michigan.gov/Wildlife: In urban or suburban areas, coyotes will take advantage of the small mammals and birds that bird feeders and gardens often attract. They may even eat some of the fruits and veggies too. Coyotes are opportunistic feeders and have a keen sense of smell. Garbage or pet food that is left out overnight may also draw their attention. If there are coyotes in the area, eliminating these potential food sources may make the area less appealing to them. For your safety, NEVER intentionally feed or try to tame coyotes! It is critical that they retain their natural fear of people. Keep small pets indoors, or accompany them outside and keep them on a leash. If you see a coyote in your area, try to scare it off by yelling, clapping or making other loud noises. Most coyotes are naturally afraid of people and will leave if you frighten them. Remember, coyotes, like any wild animal, can act unpredictably and should be treated with respect and enjoyed from a distance.

An Open Letter to Dog Owners
Most of you leash your dogs while walking them on Loch Alpine streets, parks and pathways. The entire Loch Alpine community thanks you for being law-abiding and courteous in this way.
To those who sometimes take your dog off leash, we have a short but earnest request: Please don’t. Even good dogs need to be leashed at all times.
Respectfully yours,
The Loch Alpine Board of Directors

LOCH ALPINE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION LOCH ALPINE AWARD
The Loch Alpine Award was established by the Loch Alpine Improvement Association to recognize a person or persons who have demonstrated Exemplary efforts, Commitment and Dedication to the Loch Alpine Community.
In recognition and appreciation of his exemplary efforts to the community, the Loch Alpine Board has selected John Posch for the 2023 Loch Alpine Award. John has been on the Grounds Committee for many years and quickly started contributing right from the start…building and painting emergency ladders for our lakes, installing our boulder sign lights, assisting with the sanding and re-staining of our picnic tables, fixing our park water fountain whenever it had leaks. Last year he recruited Tom Bellisario and led two great projects, building a large new sandbox for our playground (later adding a sun cover as well) and fixed our Rock Park fence which had been an eye sore for many years. John also volunteered for a Lakes Committee project and installed the 4 life rings around our lakes. He has also been an active participant on the Communications Committee.
The Loch Alpine Improvement Association is proud to have honored recipients of the Loch Alpine Award since 2001 (prior to 2013, the award was designated the Sendra Award). The previous recipients can be found here.
