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.
THE STRENGTH AND STABILILTY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DEPENDS ON YOU!!!

Loch Raven Improvement Association's Membership Drive is now underway!
The LRIA community works diligently to maintain a stable neighborhood for the mutual benefit of all residents. Today, we are calling on your assistance to support our mission.
Having a stake in LRIA membership is one easy way to express your commitment in supporting our proactive effort to preserve and stimulate property values, promote superior standards of housing, maintain sanitation and community health, and support initiatives that combat crime and nuisance behavior. As we strive to expand our membership base, the more likely we will be able to inspire
positive change throughout the neighborhood.
Annual membership dues are still only $20 per household, and your contribution is directly reinvested back into the community. Beautification projects, community-focused events, preservation of our community garden, and improving the overall infrastructure of our neighborhood
are just a few of the many efforts in which we are involved.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

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!!!
