From the President's Dock December 2006

Well, a new year has arrived. I am looking forward to progress on the beach walkway and the up coming talks with the county commissioners regarding our canals. We will begin our new year with a change in the meeting time beginning February. We will meet on the first Friday of each month instead of Monday. The time will be the same (7:30 P.M.).

So we look forward to seeing you all on Friday February 2nd at Beachers Lodge. The change was brought about by request of many who want to participate but cannot due to work schedules.

Plans for the community meetings

How about several potluck meetings this year? Dinner would begin at 6:00 P.M. with a short meeting to follow.

Yes, we will arrange to have a few guest speakers throughout the year. Let us know if there is a subject you might want to cover and we will work to get a special guest speaker concerning that subject. Put your thinking caps on.

Our Young Treasure Beach Residents

I would like invite the parents of those with children to get together with our Board of Directors this year to plan some fun projects for the youngsters here in Treasure Beach.

A suggestion would be a golfing tournament or a day of fishing at the end of Treasure Beach Road or a hobby class to make a project. Please let me know if you as parents/grandparents are interested in helping to get things off the ground.

Membership for 2007

Just as a reminder- your Treasure Beach Association dues are ready to be accepted by our Treasurer. Please help us out by clipping out the membership application in this newsletter, write a check and send in to the address shown. Your dues donation supports electric lighting, repairs to common areas, signs and social functions for your enjoyment to name a few. We are also trying to keep your beach walkway in shape as well as dealing with your canals and the county commissioners. Please don't forget us. We need your financial support.!!!!

Vandalism in our community

To my knowledge, our sheriffs office has not helped us in the past 3 years with a single arrest of a vandal associated with destroying our mail boxes, destroying our entrance way, breaking into homes, etc. I am considering asking our chairman of the neighborhood watch to send an open letter to the Editor of the "Record" asking the Sheriff for his response to our on going problems. For those who are contemplating selling their property or the realtors who have listed homes in Treasure Beach all I can say is that the acts of vandalism are like a sore thumb easily noted at the front entrance-

Really not good for sales.

Our New Shopping Center

Our new shopping center may possibly create a problem with traffic at A1A and Treasure Beach Road. Take a close look at the entrance and exit of this shopping center. Any kind of heavy traffic going or coming into this lot may be the cause of traffic accidents. Just bringing it to your attention to consider possible solutions you may have to present at our coming community meetings.

I would also like the shopping center owner/management consider a security camera that picks up activity at the front entrance as well as the shopping center itself. I am told that already there have been break-ins and graffiti already on the walls. Who wouldn't guess that !! What a way to start.

Sincerely,

Charlie Novak
