MBPOA
Members along with family and friends celebrated summer once again with
the 35th annual MBPOA Beach Party on Saturday, August 6th,
2011. The party featured lots of yummy stuff to eat
and drink, games for the kids, raffle prizes and great music. We had brilliant
sunshine with perfect temperatures in the low 80s. In fact, this year, the turnout was the largest we have seen.
We wish to thank Joan Stikeman and Bob
Shurman Co-Chairs along with their team of volunteers who helped to
make it happen. It's a big job and everyone pulled together to make it
the successful event that it was. Bravo everyone! We wish to thank everyone who contributed raffle, food and other
items,
helped with setup and stayed around to help with the clean-up after the
event. We feel that the success of these parties is a direct
reflection of our wonderful and active organization.
Join us on Facebook
We now have a MBPOA Facebook Friend Page. Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others. Get connected and join in the conversation with members, friends and family, people like you who have an interest in our Association and in Montauk. We would like to hear what you are thinking and see relevant content like pictures and video.
A word of caution, if you are a new user of Facebook we would like to suggest that one takes the time to ensure you have a clear understanding of how to protect your privacy. There is a very helpful Facebook privacy video to check out. This five minute video shows how to configure Facebook's new simplified privacy settings.
Enjoy the 2011 Summer.

Your help is needed to keep the beach and Old Montauk Highway clean!
Did you know that one Saturday or Sunday a month you can help ensure that Old Montauk Highway and our lovely beach will be clear of litter? We really need members to volunteer one Saturday a month to come down to Webster Beach and participate in the cleanup. You know that saying "Many hands make light work?" So we need you! Mark your calendars for the 2011 dates.
Meet at 9AM at the Webster Beach parking lot on:
Saturday, June 4 Saturday, July 9 Saturday, August 13 Saturday, September 10
We wish to thank all the volunteers for keeping the Old Montauk Highway litter free. Your efforts are very much appreciated by the community. When you give a little time you are really helping to keep Montauk beautiful. Plan to join the crew in 2011 and give your Association one hour of your time for a better Montauk. Any questions, contact John Stikeman.
Job well done - June 4, 2011.
Volunteering can be so satisfying.
What's happening with the Incorporation of Montauk
Members, thanks for your support in the effort to fight the Incorporation of Montauk. At this point the effort seems to have lost steam and we are not seeing much in the press on this topic. However, we need to monitor this activity and be prepared to take action when the Incorporation campaign comes back to life -- which we think it will. We don't believe the Incorporation of Montauk is the right direction and in the best interest of our community. We are ready to stand and fight on this issue. We hope you will be with us when the time comes. Learn how you can help.
