BAHA’s Fall Festival, October 18th
BAHA held its Fall Festival on Sunday, October 18th. It was a hearty gathering and introduction to autumn and Halloween. Thanks to everyone who helped make, decorate, provide, supply, purchase, and participate in providing a festive, family, BAHA neighborhood gathering. Special kudos to BAHA members Charlie McAndrew for providing the tables and chairs and to Laila Hussain for providing the activities table that pleased children and adults. Abundant appetizing snacks, desserts, candies, and beverages did not disappoint.
However, greatest gratitude goes to the record number of wonderful residents in our community who attended and “brought the party” with friendship and conversation. Halloween music, decorations, and our costumed participants made for many smiles.
Please join us next year to once again herald the joyful start of a special Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Holidays season for all!

BAHA’s Traffic Committee would like to remind our Bel Air Hills community about safe walking habits now with the time change, the days getting shorter, and our neighborhood’s lack of sidewalks:
-
Dusk and Dawn are High-Risk: Visibility drops rapidly during sunset and sunrise. Motorists often struggle to spot pedestrians during these transition periods.
-
Be Seen: Wear bright, fluorescent, or reflective clothing (such as vests, bands, or strips) and use an active light source like a flashlight, headlamp, or even a phone light. Don’t forget to also put them on any pets or children walking with you!
-
Walk Facing Traffic: When walking on a road without a sidewalk, always walk facing oncoming traffic so you can see approaching vehicles and drivers have a better chance of seeing your light or reflective gear. It’s not only safer, it’s also the law!

Rabies and Bats—Outreach Assistance
|
|
|
|
The Veterinary Public Health Program of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has informed BAHA that a bat with rabies was found in the yard of a home in the Bel Air community during the first week of November. They requested that we distribute the attached flyers with information about bats and rabies and guidance on what to do if a bat is found within the community.

They also advised that additional information on bats and rabies can be found on their Veterinary Public Health website, including a map of Rabid Bats detected in 2026.

The Board of Directors of Bel Air Hills Association wishes all of our members and all of our community, a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving. We hope that your reasons to be thankful are many.
