2025 Annual Meeting Summary
LAIA Board President Brian Daugherty hosted the Association Annual Meeting on March 14 in Webster Township Hall with the assistance of the other officers and directors. With more than the required quorum in attendees and absentee ballots, votes were tallied and the results announced to the members present:

• The annual assessment of $825 per household was approved.
• Candidates elected to the Board of Directors were incumbents Bryan Cole and Bob Sendra, and new director Joe Zofchak. The Board thanked Chris Stilwell and Dina Marie Zemke for running for election and for their willingness to serve.
• The annual Loch Alpine Award for exemplary volunteer service to the community was awarded to Nancy Keppelman for her outstanding service on our Legal Committee, providing insights and counsel to the Board during the past several years of litigation over the golf lot restrictions.
• Loch Alpine "Thank You" mugs were given to Roberta Low (Garden Club), Cynthia Walton (Lakes), Dino Anastasia (webmaster) and Katie Roycroft (Social) for their volunteer contributions.

President Daugherty thanked the many volunteer committee chairs and members for their good works on behalf of our community, including outgoing vice president Katie Roycroft.

 

The two winners of the drawing for a 50% reduction in their annual assessment are the van Saders and the Monachello households.

Weekly Yard Waste Pick-up begins April 1
Every Tuesday beginning April 1, place your yard waste street-side no later than 7 a.m. Material may be placed in large, craft/paper bags or loose in your own, reusable container with a "yard waste" or "compost" sticker on the container (available from Scio Township). Please do not tape yard bags -- fold them closed or leave them open at the top. Priority Waste will also pick up branches no thicker than 3 inches in diameter tied in bundles no greater than 4 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter. Your Loch Alpine Grounds and Roads committees are grateful to homeowners for clearing leaves and debris from ditches and culverts along their property.

New Leadership for Social Committee
After several years of running the LAIA Social Committee, Katie Roycroft is transitioning the leadership to Co-chairs Cat Buswell and Sylvia Galaty. Our thanks to Katie for her energy and creativity over the years to develop and organize events that bring fun and connection to our community. Katie will remain on the committee.  We look forward to her continuing contributions, as well as to the leadership and enthusiasm of Cat and Sylvia!

 

The Social Committee is seeking volunteers to help with organizing and executing neighborhood events! Cat and Sylvia have created some documents in Google Drive that will make it very easy to coordinate events among committee members. Loch Alpine Social hosts 6 events throughout the year and ‘many hands make light work’. Please fill out this Google form if you’re interested in volunteering -- the only requirement is that you enjoy having fun and bringing joy to your neighbors!
