The Loch Raven Improvement Association is a dynamic community that is well-positioned for the future. As we continue our mission in keeping our neighborhood safe, clean and strong, the LRIA Executive Board and membership body are fully committed to providing residents and future generations an outstanding quality of life.
The LRIA encourages membership that is actively involved in the community by joining at least one of several committees that exists to improve our lifestyle. Active participation by members of our neighborhood will continue a long tradition of community service and socially responsible practices.
As we progress through the New Year, it is hopeful that residents become engaged in community participation by making an annual dues contribution, attending meetings, and doing your part in maintaining a viable neighborhood by addressing substandard housing and sanitation conditions, unlawful behavior, and other unacceptable quality-of-life issues.

IMPROPER REGISTRATION OF OUT-OF-STATE VEHICLES
Residents are advised of the information fact-sheet related to the improper registration of
Out-of-State vehicles (particularly Virginia),
which has inundated the Loch Raven neighborhood and communities across Baltimore City.
We ask that residents forward information relating to the presence of these vehicles in our neighborhood, in order that we can create a list and forward to the appropriate authority. Enhanced legislation may have stalled in Annapolis for this session, but there are still laws on the books.
Please forward all observations to us, with as much information as possible, so that we can help crack down on this illegitimate activity in our community. Your responses will remain confidential.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter.
The LRIA Community Garden is a hidden gem at the northern edge of the Immanuel Lutheran Church, and is maintained by a dynamic group of community volunteers who contribute their time and effort to ensure that the project is sustainable and fruitful.
The Garden Committee meets every second Saturday morning of each month, beginning at 8am, and is always looking for new volunteers. If you are interested in being part of this exciting endeavor, please contact us by email or via our Contact Us page.
All experience levels are welcomed!!!
In case you missed it, our Grand Chess Challenge Simultaneous Exhibition, held at the Immanuel Lutheran Church, was an incredible experience, with Grand Master Larry Kaufman taking on 19 challengers at once, many of whom were also high-level players themselves.
The 5½ hour event concluded with a book-signing by Kaufman
and two players overcoming the Grand Master for ultimate bragging rights.
The Northeast Police Department has issued an immediate advisory for the uptick in vehicular theft and car larceny not only in the Loch Raven district, but throughout Baltimore City. Certain model Hyundai and Kia vehicles are most prone to auto theft, due to a social media post that encourages thieves to use electronic devices to bypass the security features.
But beware - all vehicles are susceptible targets for thieves!
Please remember to ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR, no matter how brief the vehicle is left unattended, and NEVER LEAVE YOUR KEYS IN AN IDLING VEHICLE.
It is also highly encouraged that you use a steering wheel lock,
or engine disabling device to protect your vehicle.
And be vigilant! If you observe illegal or suspicious activity, PLEASE CALL 911!!!
NEW!!!
Steering wheel locks now being distributed for Hyundai and Kia owners for FREE!
Please contact the Northeast Police District at 410-396-2444 for more information.
The Center, located at 5701 Loch Raven Boulevard, lower parking lot entrance, serves families seeking material help throughout the City of Baltimore, and is open every second Saturday of the month, from 10am - 12pm.
