Hard to believe Memorial Day has come
and gone!!
The winter storm fences are out and the
beach has been graded…the beach looks great!!
Check our website for some winter photos to see just how much sand had
to be spread to get the beach back in shape.
SPRING MEMBERSHIP MEETING
Date: Saturday,
June 12th
Time: 9am
Place:
Rt. 35 South,
We’d love to see you there!!
A FRIENDLY REMINDER
The due date for 2010 Annual Dues is Saturday, June 12th. A Late Fee of $50
will be imposed after that date.
THANK YOU!!
We would like to offer a special “Thank
You” to all the volunteers who came out for our Beach Cleanup on May 15th. There were over 40 people who took the time
out of their busy schedule to help in this effort. We would like to thank each and every one of
you for helping to make our beach one of the finest on the
VANDALISM AND BEACH SECURITY
Unfortunately,
our newly restored deck and railings at the Badge House were the victim of vandalism
over Memorial Day Weekend. Some “rocket
scientists” decided it would be fun to pull the hand rails off the steps. If you know who did this, please contact one
of our EC Members. This is costing us
all money and it seems unlikely that we can blame “renters” this time. This type of activity has got to stop!!
We have again
made arrangements with First Response Protective Services to patrol our beaches
and community every evening during the summer season from 10pm-3am. There
will be two guards assigned to
In addition,
we were informed at the Toms River Neighborhood Watch Meeting that WaWa has
agreed to hire a security guard to patrol their parking lot. While this may sound like a great idea, we
are a little concerned that more kids will now try to hang at the beach…it’s
somewhat of a “Catch 22” situation.
We ask that
anyone who sees any vandalism or inappropriate activity at the beach, either
notify the security guard or call the Toms
River Police at 732-349-0150
We accumulated a tremendous amount of
sand over the winter in our storm fences.
It took the bulldozer operator 3 days to do the grading, but it was
money well spent. The bulldozer operator
estimated that we accumulated 6,000 cubic yards of sand, which equates to 300
truck loads or $300,000 of sand at $50/cubic yard. Check out our “King of the Mountain” shots on
our website. The net result of the
grading raised our beach elevation about 6 feet, which will give us good
protection over the summer months.
An “Extra Special Thank You” to Rich
Milligan for all the time he spends coordinating our beach maintenance
efforts…Great Job Rich!!
Our lifeguards will be back on duty on
Saturday, June 19th...so come on up and say "hi" to "Cap"
and his crew.
The replacement of the north bulkhead
was delayed last season due to DEP and
We would also like to remind you that

LIFEGUARD PARKING
In the past, our lifeguards were
permitted to park in the Sandpiper parking lot.
Now that the parking lot is gone, we are in desperate need of parking
for our guards. We have made
arrangements with the First Aid Squad to allow our guards to park there, if
needed. However, if you generally have
room for a car on your property on a regular basis, please see Ken, John or
Gabby. Even if it’s only during the week
or on a specific day of the week, the guards would greatly appreciate it,
especially at the end of long, hot day in the sun.
