To All Strathmere
and Whale Beach Homeowners and Visitors,
We'll be voting on a Bylaws change to reduce the number of general
meetings to just two per year.
Our speaker Friday is Paul Dietrich, Upper Township
Engineer. Paul will discuss projects for Strathmere and answer your
questions.
We had planned a program on how to winterize / close your Strathmere
home, and made a last-minute change.We appreciate Paul's flexibility and willingness to speak on such
short notice.

We hope you got down to watch at least part of it - it's always as
much fun for the audience as for the 169 kids who
participated.
Here are a few pictures of the tournament and the
winners of fishing rods - check out many more pictures on the SFEC
website here.
The SFEC "Legends" Reef Tournament scheduled for
this Saturday, September 15, will not be held.

Have you paid your SIA Dues for
2012?
The Strathmere Improvement Association includes
all owners in Strathmere and Whale Beach and many visitors. It was founded over
60 years ago 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 annual dues are
$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 also donate money to help pay for extra State Police protection. This year we
invested in the Centennial Banners and the Historic Trolley
Rides...
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.
