Park Gate/Fence Replacement Project

Saturday, August 26, 2023

10:00am – until completed

We need volunteers to help in this endeavor. A powered stand on, tracked Post Hole Digger has been rented. Both associations, along with the JAC, are removing and replacing the front gate and fencing structures along the paved parking lot. Please take pride in your neighborhood and come help. The project is scheduled for Saturday, August 26, 2023.

Please bring shovels, battery operated circular saws and screw guns, garden rakes, gloves, etc. John and Nancy Greko will be providing the volunteers with hot dogs and bottled water. If you have any questions, please contact John Greko at: john.greko@gmail.com.

JAC meeting Monday, June 19

There will be a JAC meeting Monday, June 19, at my house, 5206 Gallagher starting at 6:30pm with a two hour time limit. The meeting will be held in the backyard (weather permitting). I will post the meeting on the website if anyone else is interested in helping or becoming involved.

Be prepared to discuss:

Sea wall, park reservations, boat ramp, dock, front gate/fence, drive gravel, budget, JAC special events, sea weeds, Pontoon fees/drawing, bottle returns and new business. If there is not enough time, another meeting will be scheduled.

Thanks to all for your involvement and passion for these associations and the Park.
