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:

Independence Day a Rousing Success
The Board wishes to thank the LAIA Social Committee and volunteers for creating a wonderful Independence Day celebration at the park. The family festivities and games, food and bounce houses were enjoyed by many. The evening fireworks display was a blast! Special thanks to Cat Carty Buswell, Colby Buswell, Heather Kipp, Tim Kipp, Shooshan Danagoulian, Katie Roycroft, Paul Roycroft, Bob Sendra and Peter Logan. Lakes Get Good Test Results
The first test results this summer to determine the presence of E.coli in Loch Alpine’s lakes are very good. Water samples from the upper lake (Bridgeway) showed a level of 8 /100 ml, and in the lower lake (Greenook) a level of 3 /100 ml. These results are far below the action level of 300 E.coli/100 ml for a single sample. The lakes will be tested again this summer. Thank you Lakes Committee member Cindy Walton for conducting the tests. Knock, Knock... Go Away Loch Alpine has long had a policy of not permitting door-to-door soliciting in the neighborhood. It is stated on the sign at each of our entrance streets. Yet, the sellers of goods and services and the promoters of causes still come to our doors. It seems lately, more have been ringing and knocking – sometimes claiming to have been given permission by a member of the LAIA Board. Don’t believe it. NO board officer or director or committee member will ever give permission for soliciting. If you don’t want to be bothered, don’t open your door. If you don’t want to hear their pitch, politely tell them that they are not permitted to solicit in Loch Alpine, and close the door.

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.
