LAIA Annual Meeting Set for March 14
Mark your calendars… Loch Alpine’s annual meeting for Association Members will be held Friday, March 14, beginning at 7:30 pm in Webster Township Hall. Voting can be done at the meeting or by absentee ballot.

 

At least 20 days prior, members will receive the Annual Meeting packet including your ballot with proxy option, as well as the agenda, summary budget, candidates for Board of Directors, year-end reports from LAIA committees, and more. There will be three openings for directors.

 
LAIA Seeking Candidates for Board
The Board of Directors manages the assets and finances of the Loch Alpine community for the Members. Directors serve a 2-year term of office. Candidates are elected (or re-elected) and announced at the March Annual Meeting. This year, there are 3 Director openings to be filled. As the LAIA By-Laws specify that 2 candidates should be presented for each opening, we encourage Association Members to consider running for the Board. It’s a limited amount of time required: a monthly 2-1⁄2 hour meeting plus regular email correspondence to discuss issues and conduct business. If you can devote a bit more time and energy, you might lead a committee or a special project.

 

We hope you’ll consider -- it may be your time to help manage our unique neighborhood. Many of you have moved into Loch Alpine in just the past few years. You may have new ideas to make the community more welcoming and active for residents young and old. You may have lived here a while and now have time to devote to help manage Association properties and initiatives.

By February 3, please contact LAIA Board of Directors President Brian Daugherty, president@lochalpine.org, (734) 756-0442, or any current Board Director, board@lochalpine.org, to discuss this opportunity. Add your name to the list of many special Loch Alpine volunteers. Your friends and neighbors will thank you.

 
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.
