Please No Street Parking
The LAIA Restriction Agreement states: “At no time shall passage on any road be blocked or impeded by any vehicle...” Further, LAIA has a stated regulation on its entrance signs that overnight parking on our streets is not allowed. It may create problems for plow and salting trucks, emergency vehicles, utility trucks, garbage trucks and delivery vehicles. For the safety and convenience of all neighbors, we ask that residents and their visitors avoid street parking for more than a few hours, and not overnight.
Winter Road Safety Those out walking on streets in non-daylight and snowfall times should have reflective clothing and/or lights to be seen by motorists. With snow plow/salt truck drivers concentrating on the road surface in front of and at the side of the truck, a walker or jogger is almost impossible to see without reflective and illumination gear.
Residents are advised (and must advise their driveway plowing contractor) that snow cleared from their driveways should not be piled onto the street, to prevent it being plowed into an adjacent driveway or left as an obstacle on the street. Residents may place reflective stakes along their front yard road edges about 12" back to help protect the grass from plow blades.

Scouting for Food
Scout Troop 448, Dexter, is participating in the "Scouting for Food" program, providing canned/boxed food donations to Food Gatherers for families in need. With LAIA approval, the Scouts have distributed orange food collection bags at Loch Alpine mail stands. If you would like to participate, please place non-perishable foods in the collection bag and leave it on your mail stand by 10 a.m. Saturday, November 8. Food Gatherers cannot accept opened items, expired products or glass containers. For more information see foodgatherers.org. Fall Yard Waste Reminders
Please remove leaves and debris from ditches, and clear as much debris as possible from culverts adjacent to your lot. This will help proper drainage and reduce water and ice on our streets. Don't like bagging leaves? Consider mulching or shredding leaves and raking it back into the grass, into garden and flower beds, and scattering it around the roots and stems of plants. No dumping of any yard waste is allowed on any LA property, such as around the lakes and natural areas. Open burning of leaves and yard debris in Loch Alpine is not permitted by Scio Township. Branches and logs may be burned for recreational fires, e.g. pit fires, outdoor fireplaces. Open burning in Webster Township requires a burn permit; but leaf burning has not been an accepted practice in Loch Alpine for a long time, for air quality reasons.
The last yard waste street pick-up will be December 9.
Thanks for a Great Chili Cook-Off
What a turnout! Huge thanks to everyone who came, cooked, tasted, and voted at our annual Chili Cook-Off — it was such a fun afternoon thanks to all and to the LA Social Committee. Congratulations to the winners:

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 her important service for the community, the Loch Alpine Board has selected Nancy Keppelman for the 2025 Loch Alpine Award. She has generously donated her time over the past few years as a member of the Loch Alpine Legal Committee, which was formed to coordinate communication between the Board and its litigation counselors. A career attorney, Nancy's knowledge of law, litigation processes and the courts has provided valuable insights, understanding and assistance to the Board and to the legal counsel retained for the litigation over the golf course property.
Thank you, Nancy!
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.
