Our meeting of Friday May 5th was well attended once again. Barbara and Mike Warman supplied us with the tasty refreshments for the meeting. We thank you for your time and talent.
Our guest speaker was our Vice President Rose Larsen who introduced her working partner, Donna McRorie - Family Service Counselor of Kotrady-Hudgins- Croyle Funeral Home in St Augustine. The subject was "Choices/Options and planning your final burial/cremation". We were informed of the options that our Veterans are entitled regarding the final plans. Insurance and/or trusts were discussed to "lock-in" the current costs. Finally, the rule of thumb regarding cost of a burial or cremation- it doubles every ten years. There was a question and answer period that cleared up many misunderstood ideas. If you were unable to attend just call Rose Larsen at Kotrady-Hudgins-Croyle Funeral Home.
POTLUCK Dinner Meeting
Our next meeting (and last for the Summer) will take place at 6:00 P.M. at Beacher's Lodge on Friday June 1, 2007. It will be a potluck dinner meeting. Bring yourself and a friend for this event. The food is always great. Reminder signs will be posted at Desoto Road and the main entrance prior to this meeting. Bring a dish to share and enjoy the company.
Our Young Treasure Beach Residents
I really wanted to get something together for our children of Treasure Beach this summer.
For the past 2 or 3 newsletters I have asked for some parents to step up and volunteer for an activity day, paid for by TBPOA; however, I have to give up. I received "ZERO" calls offering to help.
At our meeting Friday May 5,2007 it was decided that there was no interest in this project.I must reluctantly cancel any plans for which I had hoped would develop for our children.
This is my last term so I cannot promise any plans for 2008.
Our Volunteer Picnic
Our annual picnic was held at Frank Butler Park West on Saturday April 28th. Approximately 45 volunteers attended as well as future volunteers. There were a few who could not attend due to illness or being out of town. We missed you all.
The weather did cooperate with us and all had a lovely time. Once again the food was great!!
I would like to thank Peggy Berrier -Chairperson and her 3 co-chairs
(Sheila Martin, Cherie Hall and Geisla Prange) for putting this affair together.
Our Community Yard Sale is coming up very soon.
Saturday May 19, 2007 ....
Look for additional information in this newsletter.
We have placed ads in the record and penny saver and placed signage on the streets to help you with your yard sale. There is no cost to you. Just sell your yard sale stuff. May you make a lot of money!!
Thank you Jim and Peggy Berrier for your help in getting this done for us all.
Canal Committee
A letter has been mailed to our Commissioner requesting the second in a series of Workshops to resolve the canal issues. We will keep you informed at the next community meeting.
Neighborhood Watch

May 2007 Newsletter
I hope you all had a nice Easter/ Passover this month of April. Spring is here. Let's hope we don't get a repeat of another sweltering hot summer and that our Hurricane season is without any major storms.
Our meeting of Friday April 6th was well attended considering it was Good Friday. Our Sheriff's deputy visited with us to keep us posted on what was taking place in Treasure Beach. He said that vandalism and traffic have improved greatly. We also enjoyed Mr. Paul Geiser a St. Augustine historian enlighten us regarding how much the Spanish influenced our area 500 to 600 years ago. We thank Paul for his wisdom and hope he will visit with us again soon.
Our next meeting will take place at 7:30 P.M. at Beacher's Lodge on Friday May 4,2007. Looks for the reminder signs posted at Desoto as well as the main entrance. Also, Barbara Warman has volunteered to bring the refreshments for this meeting. Come on and plan to attend and bring a friend and/or family member.
As a reminder: our last community meeting before summer will take place on June 1st. It will be a pot-luck dinner meeting. You all know that they are fun. Mark the date on your calendars.
Our Young Treasure Beach Residents
I am once again asking for a few volunteers to work with me to get something together for the children in our neighborhood - Just one outing for the summer to see how it is accepted. Your ideas are needed.
How 'bout it kids and parents?? Let me know if you are interested. Something for the juniors in our neighborhood. This is for the boys and girls. It's for the parents( as well as the grandparents) who lease or are buying a house here. You are all part of our community.
I will post a sign to remind you all of this event. Hopefully I will get additional interested parents and their children. My phone number is 471-1579 call and leave a message. I will be happy to get back with you.
Neighborhood Watch
Doug Berndt still is looking for volunteers to step up and take a week or two . Can you help? His phone number is 461-6943.
Doug is his effort toward giving our community a safe living environment. We hope you have noticed the increased presence of Sheriff's deputies both in cars and on bikes traveling on our streets.
Keep up the good work Doug.
Membership for 2007
Once again, a reminder- your Treasure Beach Association dues are ready to be accepted by our Treasurer or your Street Captain. 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, our front entrance beautification, 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.!!!!
Also our Street Captains will be coming around to your house to visit very soon (if they have not already visited you) to ask for your participation in our money raffle as a fundraiser. Please cordially welcome them. They are working for your community. You could be a winner.
The Front Entrance
It is my hope that we can get a work party together to re-do the front entrance. I would like to build up 2 layers of 6x6 timbers to border the entrance walls. This should be done before we repair our lighting. I asked for an estimate and the contractor wants $ 3,000.
We can do it for the cost of the lumber from Home Depot using a volunteer work party. Please let me know if you would be interested in heading up this project in about a month from now or interested in showing up with your tools to assist. I estimate it would take several volunteers about 2 hours on a Saturday. My phone number is 471-1579.
The Books were Audited
Our Financial data was audited by Linda Preston last month( Thank You once again, Linda) .The audit passed with flying colors. Our auditor remarked that," the records are very well maintained. Peggy Berrier goes above and beyond to ensure that everything is recorded and documented accordingly".
Our TBPOA Treasurer, Peggy Berrier, is a real asset to this community. She is very active in our community even though Peggy has many other duties other than Treasure Beach .She also spends much time in Jacksonville as a caring grand parent. Not to mention her commute to her parents home in Indiana frequently. God Bless you dear.
The Council on Aging
I have asked our editor to see if a Council on Aging bulletin could be inserted in our newsletter. It offers, certain general house repair work Free of Charge by their volunteers but you must get in on the waiting list. It's a good thing!!!.
Last but not least I want to thank the committee chairman as well as our volunteers and our Board of Directors for the fine work they have been giving this community of their time and talent. We could not do it without you all.
I just wish more volunteers would step forward and offer an hour per month of their time.
It would make you feel good inside and you will make new friends. Once again my number is 471-1579.
Respectfully,
Charlie Novak
