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. 
 
At the Board of Directors transitional meeting, the new Board selected the following officers: Brian Daugherty, president; Bryan Cole, vice president; David Stockson, secretary, and Lucy Cohen, treasurer.  
 
Committee chairs will be: Architectural Control, Jim Schulz and John van Saders; Communications, Katie Roycroft; Grounds, Bob Sendra; Lakes, Tom Bellisario; Dams and Legal, Peter Logan; Roads, Brian McCall; Safety & Security, Bryan Cole; and Social, Cat Buswell and Sylvia Galaty. LAIA Webmaster will be shared by Dino Anastasia and Greg Lucot, and Alex Leaven also will serve on the web administration team. Andrea Dorney will continue to serve as the LAIA representative on the LASA board. Janet Torno will continue to serve as the Loch Alpine Welcome liaison to new residents.
 
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!

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.
  • Dog owners who always leash their dogs even when they wish they didn’t have to
  • Neighbors who are frightened by unleashed dogs -- even “friendly” ones
  • Dogs who tend to be frightened by other dogs (or act aggressively toward them) 
  • The animals, birds, and other wildlife with whom we share this special place.
Respectfully yours,
The Loch Alpine Board of Directors

The Loch Alpine Award
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.
