July 3rd!!!

At 4 PM please join us down at the beach and share in the LPIA dedication and affixing of a permanent marker to honor Ann Morrill and her steadfast dedication to preserving the Kickemuit River. This is a well-deserved recognition to her and her family.

At 5 PM, adults, and more importantly children, are welcome down to the playground to walk, ride their July 4th decorated bicycles, or hop on a Kids train that should be available for the annual LPIA kids parade through the neighborhood. Please cheer them on as they go by your street.

Around 6 PM, the annual picnic celebration at the Playground with Burgers and Hot Dogs, various member-provided sides, desserts, and drinks (BYOB) begins. Enjoy some time with the neighbors. Corn hole games, Bocce and other activities may be taking place as well.

After this, as darkness approaches, watch the beach parking lot and the sky over the beach for the annual LPIA bonfire and excellent fireworks display from our friends who each year honor their family and its strong ties to the LPIA.

Annual Meet Your Neighbors on the Beach Lunch & Meeting

This Saturday, June 19th at 2PM, we are having our annual Meet and Greet down at the beach. This is our summer kick-off event to reacquaint with each other after the winter and meet new members.

We are planning (weather dependent) to bring the grill, tables and chairs down to the beach and have a “Pot Luck” Lunch to welcome in the summer. Bring your own grillables and feel free to bring a side dish or dessert to share if so inclined.

We will also, during our time there, have our quick monthly meeting to include a review of summer plans. Any ideas you may have are welcome.

High tide falls nicely at 3:54 that afternoon. There is easy relief for you and/or the kids to be found just steps away in the swim area. One could also drag your kayak/paddleboard to the water for a timely escape!

Annual Fall Cleanup

  • Laurel Park Improvement Association (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This coming Saturday at 9:30 AM we are going to meet to do our fall cleanup (alright let's just say it - rake and bag leaves!) at the Luther Memorial Park. At the same time, we are going to attempt to power wash or stain the shed.

With Covid around, opportunities that naturally lend themselves to fresh air, social distancing, mild exercise and still allow for healthy interaction with your neighbors are hard to find. So come join us to partake in this once a year opportunity!

Reminder: It is a great activity to get your kids out and moving. We also sign papers for kids that need volunteer hours for their social/educational/religious groups.

If you're physically not able to help, don't be afraid to stop by and lend an encouraging word or smile.
