In this issue: Memorial Day Weekend Is Coming!
Book Sale and Citizens' Meeting Scheduled
SIA Meeting Schedule; Calendar of Upcoming Events; Babysitting; Dues Are Due
We had a taste of summer in Strathmere on Tuesday as the temperature went up to 83 or so. The weekend looks great, with temperatures again close to 80, mostly clear, marred only by the threat of a thundershower or two each day.
Please remember the reason for Monday's Holiday - to honor those in the military who gave their lives in the service of our country. Please fly your flag and take some time to remember and honor those who fell.
On a more mundane note, both trash and recycling will be picked up Monday morning.
We're sending this newsletter by e-mail to as many of you as possible. This year we do not expect to send postcards, although the SIA officers will meet this Friday to finalize that and other decisions.

Babysitting: We had a member ask for the names of babysitters and we made that request in a previous newsletter. We have received the names of several potential babysitters and will provide that information upon request. Just reply to sia6@comcast.net
Stock up on Strathmere "Stuff": Last year we offered tee shirts, caps and visors, and sold out of almost everything. This year, we'll again be offering Strathmere caps ($15) and visors ($12). Strathmere "stuff" may be purchased at 212 Bayview Drive.
Dues are due at $10 annually per adult. The dues and the fund raisers provide for the Fourth of July Parade and our share of the Star Party and Christmas Party. We have also donated money to help pay for extra State Police protection. If you have adult children or relatives (or visitors) who visit Strathmere, please forward this message to them - perhaps they'd like to be members and receive these e-mail messages also.
Please send dues payments to SIA at PO Box 57, Strathmere, NJ 08248. Remember to tell us your correct e-mail address!
Also, please let us know if you have comments or suggestions for the newsletter or for SIA in general, or if you'd like us to change your e-mail address in our records.
You can contact us by responding to this e-mail sia6@comcast.net or by mailing SIA at PO Box 57.
Thanks to all for your continuing support!
