PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friends and Neighbors! We started the season with good attendance and a great time during our ice cream social. Yes, it's been a long and hot summer but don't let apathy take hold of us! Unfortunately, no volunteers came forward to be on the nominating committee to identify candidates for the 2008 officers and directors so at this point we are still looking for members to come forward. Of course, if you feel you would like to be an officer or director next year or would like to nominate someone, please contact us. In 2008, our newsletter "The Beachcomber" will also be in need of a new editing team as Jennifer Brown who has been doing a great job for the last couple of years will not be able to continue. One of our members has already volunteered and we are looking for one or two more people to join the team to work with our advertisers. The proceeds we get from the Beachcomber are used to support our local community organizations such as our Volunteer Fire Department, CERT, Crime Watch, as well as the Hernando Beach entrance maintenance and special projects like our holiday lights so they go right back into the community to benefit all. None of this can be done without more members getting actively involved in the association. So I encourage you to help us to make all of this possible by volunteering for one of the openings for the Beachcomber or to be an officer or director! Another hot topic is the continuing saga of the dredge! Apparently there is a stale mate between the County and Florida DEP with DEP stating they are awaiting information from the County and the County stating they have supplied everything that was requested. In order to get things moving before the funding disappears, please write to any or all of the following people and agencies to voice your concerns and support: 1. Office of Governor Charlie Crist 2. Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection 3. Representative Robert Schenck 4. Board of County Commissioners, Commissioner Rose Rocco Remember, only if you give yourself a voice and speak up can you be heard! We are looking forward to seeing you at our October meeting!
