To All Strathmere and Whale Beach Homeowners and Visitors,

 

The SIA July Meeting will be held at 8:00 pm this Friday, July 12. Please come out!
 
Herb Hollinger will lead a lineup of great speakers and we'll also draw the winners of those Phillies tickets.
 
You can pay your SIA Dues ($10) before the drawing to be eligible!
You don't have to be there to win the Phils' tickets - but you must have paid your dues!
See the end of this newsletter for more information on SIA dues.

 
 
 
 
 
The SIA is selling neat new caps ($15) and visors ($10). They are available at 212 Bayview Drive and also at our meeting. Get several - for yourself and for gifts!



 
 
 
Also, the SIA Yard sale will be held at the Firehouse on Saturday, July 20 at 8 am. Plan to rent a table - then shop 'til you drop!.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club recently held two tournaments.
 

See the results of their Annual Flounder Tournament here  and the results of the Jane Shetler Tournament here.

On July 18, 2013 the Schiavo Library will be hosting a Wetlands Institute program “Traveling Turtles.”
The program is sponsored jointly by the Library and the Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club.
 
It will take place at 6:00pm in the library’s parking lot. This will be followed by a terrapin release at the boat ramp. This is a wonderful program for the whole family and all are welcome to attend. It was a huge hit last year!

Our February 11, 2013 Newsletter on flood zones and flood insurance has been posted on the new Upper Township website here http://www.uppertownship.com/images/PDF/Flood%20Rates%20Newsletter%202%2011%2013.pdf (under General Information... Announcements... Super Storm Sandy). We suggest you make the website location one of your "favorites" or "bookmarks", as you'll probably want to refer to it as the BFE / FIRM saga continues to unfold...

The Strathmere Improvement Association includes all owners in Strathmere and Whale Beach and many visitors. It was founded in 1951 as a community organization with the simple objective of making Strathmere a better place. We are proud of the organization's many accomplishments over the years.
 

The SIA is keeping the annual dues at $10 per adult family member. The dues and the fund raisers provide for the Fourth of July Parade and our share of the Christmas Party. We conducted a number of Centennial events last year, and also donated money to help pay for extra State Police protection, and to residents affected by Sandy.
 

NOTE: Since most of you never formally "signed up" as members, obviously we cannot "force" you to pay dues, which are really more like (non-deductible) donations anyway.
If you don't pay, we will still keep you on our newsletter distribution. The only penalty will be that you can't vote in our (mostly uncontested) elections!
 
Nevertheless, we really hope you see enough value in our projects and enjoy the newsletters enough so that you'll contribute $10 per adult family member.
 
Thanks!


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 at sia6@comcast.net or by mailing SIA at PO Box 57.
