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.”

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...

wonderful Strathmere History website at http://www.strathmere.net

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.

Thanks very much for your continuing support of
the Strathmere Improvement Association!
