A very big Thank You to Treasure Beach volunteers who replaced approximately 50 planks of our beach walkway on April 29th from 9:30 thru 11:30 a.m. Volunteers who helped include Bill Libby, Tom Griffin, Ray Robert, Jim O'Connell, Joe Pelliteer, Charlie Novak, Jim Berrier, and Ron Larson. A pickup truck used to properly dispose of planks was furnished by Doug Berndt.
Our beach walkway located directly across Highway A1A from the Treasure Beach entrance adds immeasurably to an outstanding life style enjoyed by residents. With canals for boating, beautiful marsh views and easy access to the beach the Treasure Beach lifestyle is much to be envied. Many sincere thanks to those who helped with this important maintenance project.
A future project date for a date in June will soon be announced. It is hoped that Treasure Beach residents will continue to lend their support to this important ongoing project. Thank you all very much.

Beach Walkway Work Party Set
A work party is scheduled for Saturday July 15,2006 at 7:30 A.M. We would like to beat the heat and humidity. We have a few volunteers but need at least 5 or 6 more. Plans are to remove and replace 40 to 80 boards depending on how many volunteers show up.
Bring your hammer, pry-bar and] drills with a square head bit. We are using 3.5 inch Stainless Screws. We could use the generator that Joe Pelliter owns and if that comes true we would need extension cords and maybe and electric saw also.
Doug Berndt has offered to take the old wood to the county dump .
If you have questions about volunteering for this 3 to 4 hour project call Jim Berrier at 461-7853 or Charlie Novak at 471-1579

From the President's Dock
Well this month has been pretty darn hot and dry. So far our area has been spared the brush fires. Stay away Mr. Hurricane...
I hope that your lives are going well and your health is holding up.
Sorry that many of you missed our general meeting June 5th. We had a pleasant surprise bestowed upon our group of 30 who attended. Napoli's owner (Mike) sent over about 6 or 7 pizza pies and garlic cheese bread with marinara sauce for dipping. He also sent us plenty of cold drinks to go along. Added to Taunnie's goodies with coffee, we had a feast!! The food was excellent as usual from Napoli's. To Mike- we truly thank you for your generosity and appreciate your kindness.
At our meeting we addressed many topics like the canal petition, the beach walkway repair and security in our neighborhood. Additionally, we had our regular Florida State Lottery give away and our successful raffle promoted by George Pascucci began. We netted $ 306.00.
The grand prizewinner of $ 100.00 was Wally Richter and Evelyn Delaney won second place for $ 75.00. Congratulations to the winners!!!
To all those who did not win I thank you for your support. As a side note Evelyn turned around and sent a check to our Treasurer for $ 75.00. Thank you Evelyn for your generosity.
Today is Friday June 9th. I called Flagler Hospital to get Louie Gaj's room number so I could visit however I was told that he was discharged at 3:00 P.M. I called him at home. Louie was happy to be home. The doctors told him not to lift anything heavy for a while. He's got to be careful with his "Ticker". Glad you're home Louie.
On another note, we are in need of replacement street captains for Salado and Pueblo Roads. Sometimes we must distribute letters, bulletins or petitions (like the one for the canals) to the community quickly. This is where we look to our street captains for help.
Please consider a position of street captain and give me a call at 471-1579. Your help is needed now.
Please come out and support your community activities. We had a very nice turn out at the Volunteer Appreciation picnic held at Butler Park West last month. We always have the Lunch Bunch folks who attend a different restaurant each month. If you are new to the area you may want to try the Lunch Bunch. You may enjoy yourself and lunches are always inexpensive. This is a good way to find your favorite restaurant in and around your community.
Coming up in a few weeks (Saturday June 24th) is the St Augustine Boat excursion that leaves the city docks at 8:30 P.M. I doubt that you will see this article before the event occurs. If you have an e-mail address registered with us you were told about this tour.
It should be very nice and relaxing cruise about 1 hour fifteen minutes or so. Adults $ 7.50 Children $ 3.50.
We then have our bowling party set for Saturday July 8th at Noon at Anastasia Bowling on A1A. Last year's event was enjoyed by all. That's why this is our second annual party.
The cost is like $ 6.00 per person that includes two hours of bowling and includes shoe rental. They have inexpensive hot dogs, burgers and soda pop. So come and enjoy quality time with your neighbors, friends, children and grandchildren.
Then we have our August 12th Beach Party that everyone will enjoy- It won't cost you anything to enjoy your part of the beach with friends and family. Our chairperson has some fun things planned.
I hope to see you at the coming events. Don't stay at home. Enjoy life.
Sincerely,
Charlie Novak

Neighborhood Notes by Evelyn: Picnics, Picnics, Picnics
The Volunteer Picnic coordinated by Peggy Berrier, Sherrie Hall, and Sheila Martin was a great success. It was a great social, as the food was varied and delicious, the fellowship with neighbors and friends was fabulous, and the turnout was the largest we've ever had. The weather also cooperated. If you missed this event, you missed a great time.
The Memorial Day picnic at the St. Augustine Health & Rehab was another fun event. It was held on the front premises under large shade trees. Residents and families enjoyed the beautiful weather, the cool breeze, the hamburgers, hot dogs, coleslaw, potato salad, watermelon, etc.
The Scimitars held their yearly picnic at the Shrine Club. It was held indoors so we did not have to fight the ants, flies, and insects that also enjoy picnics. All of the food was made by the ladies of the Shriners, who are all super cooks. Retired Educator friends and WWII Submarine friends (also Shriners) attended the picnic.
CONGRATULATIONS:
June is the ANNIVERSARY month. George & Bobbie Cleveland celebrated their 50th anniversary, and John & Dot Delaney celebrated their 36th anniversary by going on a cruise. Jim & Peggy Berrier will be celebrating Peggy's mother & father's 60th anniversary. Congratulations to all couples in Treasure Beach who had June anniversaries.
June is also RETIREMENT party time. JOHN HUME had a great retirement party at his Salado Road home, and was also honored by the St. Johns County School Board for his twenty-seven (27) years of teaching in our school system. DICK JOSLIN (our Santa Claus on Treasure Beach Road) was also honored by the St. Johns County School Board for his eleven (11.3) years
of driving a school bus. Congratulations to all who retired this month, and who will wonder when they ever had the time to work.......as hobby and volunteer activites keep them busy 24 hours a day!
The summer is also VACATION time, although I don't know why people who live in Paradise (another name for Treasure Beach) need to go away for a vacation. However, Ron & Sherrie Hall had a great time in Hawaii. The Joslins traveled up North to celebrate their great-grandchild's first birthday, and visited other relatives in the Northeast. Cruises are a popular pastime, and Bill Jepson is biking in Colorado! Such energy!
MEETINGS:
The June Treasure Beach meeting was attended by about twenty-five members. President Charlie has lots of social activities lined during the summer months----Boat Tour, Bowling, Beach party, Lunch Bunch. Come join the fun with your neighbors. During the break we enjoyed Napoli's pizza, and other goodies (which had all the calories removed). The winners of the Raffle were Wally Richter ($100), and Evelyn Delaney ($75). The raffle added $381 to our treasury. Thank you for supporting Treasure Beach with our raffles, and activities.
The winners of the Lottery tickets were Jim Berrier, Bill Chalmers, Marion Libby, Taunnie Novak, and Phyllis Abbot. Our next meeting will be in September.
The St. Johns Retired Educators awarded six scholarships to local students. Assistant Superintendent Martha Mickler was the guest speaker. They also honored Anna Wheeler, the 5th grade essay contest winner who won the Unit Award and the District V Award.
Any retired educator is welcome to attend and join our local Unit. Our next meeting is September 22nd. If you are interested, please call Evelyn.
BRAGGING:
Steve and Phyllis Abbott (Majorca Road) are excited about their first grandson, Andrew John Abbott, born on April 3, 2006, weighing in at 7 lbs, 3 oz. He was 19 inches long. His parents are Harold & Mara Abbott, son & dtr-in-law of Steve & Phyllis.
Jim & Peggy Berrier (Rio Royale) recently attended their younger son's U.S. Army Airborne graduation at Ft. Benning, GA. Scott is now stationed with the 82nd Airborne Division at Ft.Bragg, NC. Their other son, Aaron, is currently serving with his Jacksonville, Florida based United States Navy Reserve Unit in Kuwait.
Bill & Peggy Chalmers have nineteen grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. It is difficult keeping up on the whereabouts of the grandchildren as several of them are making their careers in the Air Force. Grandson Jason Chalmers (Air Force) left Illinois in June for Korea. Granddaughter Melissa Chalmers (Air Force) left Maryland in June for Korea. Bill & Dawn Chalmers (Air Force) live in Arizona, and just had a new baby, Jackson, who joins his two brothers. Donald & Katie Chalmers (Air Force) spent a year in Korea, came back to the States in January, and left for Germany in February. They have Cody, and a new son named Joseph.
Shawn Delaney (John IV) left Shaw AFB, SC, in June] to spend a year in Korea. Maybe the Chalmers and Shawn will meet in Korea. Maybe they already know each other, as Shawn keeps running into his friends as he is transferred from Base to Base.
New residents Truett & Maritza Yarbrough have three sons and a daughter. Two of their older boys are serving in the military. Danny is in Oregon serving with the Coast Guard, and David will be going back to Iraq for a third tour of duty with the U.S. Army in August.
We are all PROUD of our sons and grandsons who are in harm's way so that we may remain a free country. Please keep all the servicemen in your prayers for their safe return home.
Treasure Beach is a unique community. The residents are interesting, friendly, retired, still working, owners, renters, etc. We want to know you better, so please keep me informed of any interesting events in your daily lives.
Love & Hugs,
Evelyn,
