Tis that time of year! The Plover nesting area has been roped off, and we've been
stuck with a rainy, windy couple of days but are looking forward to a beautiful
end of the week and weekend. Unfortunately, spring has brought a bumper crop of
ticks, dangerous to both humans and pets. Be sure to take precautions when
working in your yard or walking your dog.
Do a buddy check!
SFEC Beach Planting and Clean-up Reminder
This
Saturday, April 29, from 8-11 am, the Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club
is seeking volunteers to help pick up trash, do some weeding, and plant some
native plants at our 17 beach entrances. Meet at the Tecumseh beach entrance for
instruction and assignments and wear gloves!
News from the SIA Board:
Lots of
planning has been going on for the upcoming season (more dates to follow) and at
a recent meeting, the SIA officers reorganized to bring the board to full
capacity. Janice Connell, Member-at-Large, has assumed the vacant Vice
Presidency position and Janet Mahley has joined the board as Member-at-Large.
Per the SIA by-laws, the Board has the authority to fill a vacant position until
the regular election is held over the summer. (Janice had been serving as
Member-at-Large.) We thank them both for agreeing to serve.

SIA Yard sale Returns Memorial Day Weekend
As you open up for the summer season, don’t trash that
treasure you don’t need anymore, sell it at the yard sale. Think about taking a
table at the sale on Saturday, May 27. Set up time is @7:30 am, with doors
opening at 8. We’ll publicize it in local papers and with signs throughout town
to draw in the crowds.
Reserve a table by calling Janet Mahley, chair, @ 856
423-5543. Limited six foot long tables are available first come, first served.
$10.00 donation is asked.
Sneak Peek at this
Year's Fundraiser!
We'll be
offering cool mesh hats in Black and in Pink, and a cool mesh Navy visor trimmed
in white this summer. Hats go on sale at the Yard Sale, Memorial Day Weekend.
Thanks for your support! All three sport a dolphin and say, "Strathmere,"
embroidered in white and have a velcro adjustable band for
sizing.
