Dexter, Michigan Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner

January 23rd, 2009 admin Posted in Community of Dexter No Comments »

Our Dexter MI Chamber dinner at the Knights of Columbus was held Jan 21.  Thanks to the Finks for hosting the event and Sandy and Steve Varney of The Lighthouse Restaurant for catering the delicious meal.  We were delighted to hear a guest singer this year on behalf of the upcoming opening of the Encore Theatre.   Jessica Grove who has a list of Broadway credentials sang Somewhere Over The Rainbow.  Not surprising that her performance was perfect since she had performed in New York alongside Mickie Rooney.   Opening night Feb 5th is sold out.  Tickets for Evita are available through Feb 15th.

Chamber President, Joe Nowak presented the Awards:

  • Spark Plug Award to Mary Ann Simpkins
  • Spirit of Dexter Award to Tom Diab
  • Lifetime Membership Award to Carol Jones
  • Past Board Members Recognition to John Evans, Jane Finkbeiner, Jill Love

Assisting with the presentations was Michigan Representative Pam Byrnes and County Commissioner’s son Mark Ouimet.

Membership remained strong this year and the Dexter plans for the Border-to-Border Trail Connection, Hudson Mills Metropark to Village of Dexter, were made available.  This was provided by a Transportation Enhancement Grant.   The proposed pedestrian underpass will connect to the Mill Pond Park Project currently under construction on Main Street.  Click here to view the Downtown Development Authority Plans online.

As a side note, I got to sit and enjoy dinner with the folks at LaFontaine Motors and really enjoyed hearing about their camaraderie and record sale year!

I am very confident that Tom Diab will bring the entertainment to Dexter on Friday evenings like Sites and Sounds in Chelsea to boost traffic to downtown Dexter, MI during the summer.  We fellow business owners and community participants look forward to a healthy and happy 2009.  If you want to see the HGTV video on Dexter, just call us for a copy.  We would LOVE to show you Dexter!

Dexter Daze Activities in Dexter, Michigan 48130 Community video by www.KathyToth.com

December 4th, 2008 Kathy Toth Posted in A Few of my Favorite Things, Ann Arbor Community, Ann Arbor Real Estate, Community of Dexter, Just Because 2 Comments »

Dexter Daze annual festival held in Monument Park had entertainment, crafts, face painting, parade, music and plenty of food.  To help organize next years events visit  Dexter Area Chamber of Commerce or call them at 734-426-0887.   

I have to say that in spite of construction for Main Street Bridge and Gordon Hall for The Cedars of Dexter, there was a successful turn out and support of local merchants.  The Dexter Area Historical Society conducted tours of Gordon Hall.  The Dexter Rotary Club raffled and built another playhouse. Also participating was Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department and the Dexter Area Fire Department. 

 

We cannot wait to welcome you to Dexter and to find your dream home here.

Loch Alpine Community of Ann Arbor, MI - Homeowner Interviewed

November 19th, 2008 Kathy Toth Posted in Ann Arbor Community, Community of Dexter, Loch Alpine No Comments »

What is it like to live in a 900 home community with golf course, swimming pool, parks, club house with dining and events?  Listen as one Loch Alpine home owner describes what she thinks about living in the wonderful area of Loch Alpine in video below.


Loch Alpine Subdivision

The area of Loch Alpine is located just north of Ann Arbor, minutes from Dexter schools.   This wonderful area features 2 small lakes, parks, organized community events, and includes the Lore Newsletter.

Loch Alpine subdivision is 10 miles from Ann Arbor, but the community’s setting – unique homes along winding roads, amid rolling hills, mature trees and lakes – has a distinct away-from-it-all feel. Dexter industrialist William Blakely  bought and platted the 650-acre property in the 1920s. He built the roads, stone bridges, and a sewage plant, envisioning a community accessible by train for people from Chicago and Detroit.

When the stock market crashed in 1929, Blakely stopped work on the project, and though the railroad still runs past Loch Alpine’s southern end, no station was ever built there. Blakely died in 1934 and his son, Malcolm, had a clubhouse and 18-hole golf course built on the property in 1935. Developers from Detroit eventually bought the property and started building houses in the mid-1950s. Nona Credille and her husband bought theirs in 1958, attracted by the idea of living in the country, yet having water and sewer service, which is still provided by the Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority of Scio and Webster Twp.

The Credilles live on the road that runs over the dam between Bridgeway Lake, and it’s lower counterpart, Greennook Lake. Nona, chair of the subdivision’s lakes board, tests the water for e-coli during swimming season and spearheads the battle against the northern milfoil growth encouraged by lawn fertilizers and agricultural fertilizers that flow to the lakes via Boyden Creek.
The Ann Arbor Country Club and its golf course take up roughly a third of Loch Alpine’s 650 or so acres. The club, with its pool and competitive swim program, is a hub for Loch Alpine residents.

In 2003 the Ann Arbor Country Club and Loch Alpine’s 450 families paid a special assessment to cover the $895,000 cost of dredging both lakes to deepen them and get rid of the silt that encourages week growth. Residents, including the country club, also pay an annual assessment (about $600 per lot) to cover road repairs, expenses related to the two 10-acre lakes and the community’s two parks, and social events like the Fourth of July fireworks.

What more could you want right in your backyard? Come check out what Loch Alpine has to offer you and your family and get the ultimate guide to Loch Alpine by contacting the expert real estate professionals of Kathy Toth & Team.
