LPIA 100th Hats are Here!

This comes in a dark blue also with turquoise initials.

Over 50 of our spanking new, special edition, 100th Anniversary hats have been ordered, thus far. Members are sporting them around town and in the neighborhood. They are made by Adams Headware and are high quality, brushed twill available in two colors (actual thread colors are more vibrant). On the back: 1925-2025 in gold.

Any future orders require a minimum of 12. You can tip us off on your preorder by sending an email. When the threshold is reached, we’ll let you know, however, we can only order with payment in advance. To order, drop $20 per hat (cash or a check made out to LPIA) into the lock box on the shed in Luther Park with your name, hat quantity and color(s).

Thank you!

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.

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.
