To All Strathmere
and Whale Beach Homeowners and Visitors,
The SIA is looking for a few volunteers to help set up yardsale tables
Saturday morning at 7am at the firehouse. Won't take long to do but much easier
with help. Still time to grab a table to sell your own stuff. Call Linda
(263-4117) or Janet (856-423-5543). Thanks!
*****************************************************************
Tomorrow,
Thursday 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 - here are some
pictures:
There is no charge to attend the program, but donations,
which are tax deductible, would be greatly
appreciated.
**************************************************************
The SIA Yard sale will be
held at the Firehouse this Saturday morning, July 20 at 8 am. Lots of neat stuff
to buy!
The minutes from our SIA July Meeting
held Friday evening, July 12 are attached.
Mark your calendar for the next SIA
meeting on August 9 at 8pm. Mike McMahon, from McMahon Insurance will
talk about flood insurance and John Halbruner from Hyland Design will talk about
structural options.
We expect FEMA to release new flood
maps in the next few weeks. The "V" zones are expected to be reduced, and
perhaps the elevation requirements also.
**************************************************************
If you haven't paid your 2013 SIA
dues yet, we ask you to please do so.
Info on dues is at the end of this
newsletter.
*****************************************
We told you about the TriResort Lifeguard
Championships held Monday evening. Our home team won!
Upper Township won the Singles
Row.
Upper also won the Doubles Row
Here they prepare the boat...
Congratulations to our Beach
Patrol!

The Beach Patrol is also sponsoring their 6-Mile Bay Race for MS, starting at the
Deauville at 6:30 this Monday night July 22 (paddleboarders start at
5:45).
It's always fun to watch all those boats take
off down the bay.
*********************************************
The SIA continues to sell neat new Strathmere
caps ($15) and visors ($10).
They are available at 212 Bayview Drive
(609-263-6846). Get several - for yourself and for gifts!
The Strathmere Fishing and
Environmental Club is currently holding their Tuna
Classic, for fishermen who like to venture out into the
Atlantic.

Old-fashioned children's games (bring a

Our February 11, 2013 Newsletter on
flood zones and flood insurance is posted on the Upper Township website
here (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...

And once again, check out Carol Baker's
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 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!
