July 2009 Newsletter

FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DOCK

JULY, 2009

I can't believe it is June already! I am only aware of one June birthday
and it's MINE! Yep, I'll be 29.....again! Does it seem like time
is just flying or is it me? "They" say time flies when you get old...but
I'm not old yet!!!

So far this year we have had the TBPOA Annual Garage Sale and the TBPOA
Annual Clean Up Day.

GARAGE SALE: Even though there were not a lot of participants, the TBPOA
table made $112.85. That, of course, is thanks to
the residents who donated items to be sold by TBPOA and to the volunteers
that manned the table. Many thanks to Gisela Prange, Barb Warman, Rose
Larsen and Nancy Gaj. Note: These are the same ladies that "step up to
the plate" all the time. Maybe next year we can add some new faces to the
volunteer list!

We are open to ideas as to how to make this event more successful next
year. We advertised in the paper, put signs up, but still had less
participation
of residents than we had hoped. ANY IDEAS?
Please let us know your thoughts. You can sign onto our website:
www.treasurebeachflorida.com and post your ideas and comments in the blog
area!

ANNUAL CLEAN UP DAY:

We didn't fill an entire dumpster, but almost! We had plenty of help from
volunteers like Bobby Wright, John Kelleher, our "water girl" Doreen
Kelleher,
Steve and Phyllis Abbott, Art Cunningham and yours truly. I brought a
chair and my newspaper, got a little sun and relaxed. All in all, not a
bad day. We
collected $120.00 of new dues to add to our treasury. John and Bobby took
some trash bags and picked up trash along Costanero Road. Next year we
would like to get volunteers on each street to pick up trash on their
road.

The turnout was not nearly as good as last year. However, this year your
dues had to be paid in order to take advantage of this benefit. Just in
case
you wondered.....we will still accept dues for the 2009 year!!!!

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT!!! Why wait until next year?? Check your yard and
the yard on each side of you to see if someone has littered when no
one was looking! Sometimes the trash collectors drop some things when
they are tossing the trash into the truck. They are under such time
constraints
that they don't stop to pick up those items.

ALSO....DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP YOUR DOG'S "BUSINESS"!

PAY PAL ACCOUNT:

We are in the process of setting up a Pay Pal Account so members can pay
their dues online. It will be available soon on our website:
www.treasurebeachflorida.com. This should be very helpful for owners that
live out of town.

There will also be a new membership form on the website to complete.
Please fill in as much information as possible, including your e-mail
address, if you have one. There are times when we need to contact
residents about current issues happening in Treasure Beach.
