ALERT: Nominations for new officers is now closed (as of 5PM Sunday, Sept. 7th)
Not quite ready for an officer role?
We get it. If you would like to be involved in a lesser capacity, you can head up, or participate on, a committee with other interested, fun people. Turns out, small groups are an easy way to meet other members, discover new likes, learn stuff and even develop tech skills if you’re interested.
Committees to choose from are: Communications, Finance, Membership, Nominations, Property, Rules and Stewardship. A peek at the content on the Volunteer tab of the website can help you understand more about what the committees do.
Hint: Serving on the Membership Committee puts you on the fastest track to making a bunch of new acquaintances, fast! Much of the 2025-2026 season focus will be YOU.
LPIA 100th Hats are Here!
This comes in a dark blue also with turquoise initials.
Some 75 of our spanking new, special edition, 100th Anniversary hats have been sold and the third delivery should be mid-month. Members are sporting them around the neighborhood and town too. The hats are made by Adams Headware and are high quality, brushed twill available in two colors (actual thread colors are more vibrant than the graphic here). On the back: 1925-2025 in gold.
This will be the last order under current leadership, but should the next Executive Committee wish to order more, members will be asked to send an email or drop $20 per hat (cash or a check made out to LPIA) into the black lock box on the shed in Luther Park with your name, hat quantity and color(s). When the minimum threshold is reached, an order can be placed.
Lincoln Ave Report
Hold, Buy or Sell?
If you missed the May Members Briefing, the May Community Meeting, or the June field trip or the July 3rd display regarding the disposition of the Lincoln Avenue parcel, you can still review the Power Point presentation by clicking here. It was prepared by a crackerjack subcommittee of the Property Committee comprised of Pam Eliason, Mark Ringiewicz, and Stu Latessa. E. Jenny Flannagan of the Warren Land Trust assisted the team given her experience as a professional real estate appraiser.
There will be a vote on Sunday, September 14th at the last community meeting of the season. Please see the Happenings section of the website to see subsequent records and recommendations.
Coastal Zone Survey Underway
If you see a pontoon boat out on the Kickemuit River, the Natural Resources Conservation Service is conducting a coastal zone soil survey to inventory subaqueous and tidal marsh soils. This work will result in soil maps that can be used for a variety of uses including shellfish management and marsh restoration.
Hand augers are used to pull soil samples; the process is noninvasive causing little disturbance to the marsh or wildlife. A report will be published on October 1st and made available to members.
