May
General Meeting
At
the May 1 General Meeting there were event reports given on; Family
Video Game Night on April 25 which went very well, all the attendees
had a great time; the Art Auction on April 13 raised $1,400 for
Suffolk Hospice. There was a report from Village Trustee Maura Spery
on what she has been doing and her upcoming trip to the Town of
Brookhaven about the old Associated Property. Vic Viola reminded
everyone that you must have the original boat registration on your
boat not a copy. The 50/50 of $15 was won by Sonny Vineri which he
then donated back to the Flag Fund. (THANK YOU SONNY!)
At
a little after 8pm our guest speaker arrived. Judge Stephen Ukeiley.
Judge Ukeily is a District Court Judge. His discussion of the
district court system and law in general was extremely stimulating.
Judge Ukeiley donated a copy of his book on landlord and tenant
relations to the MBPOA and was very generous with his time after the
meeting. We hope to have him return some time in the future.

Cleanup
Day Report
The MBPOA once again
participated in the Community Spring Clean-up on Saturday, May 17.
Several years ago, MBPOA Member and Master Gardener, Rich Berkhout
designed and landscaped around the MBPOA sign on Havenwood Drive
giving it a much more impressive look leading to our Downtown area.
Several members turned out for the clean-up and weeded, raked leaves,
picked up trash around the sign and continued picking up debris
around the waterfront and neighboring streets.
Thank
you to all who volunteered their time in cleaning up our community
and our thanks to the Village for picking up all the bags and loose
trash gathered that day.

News
The

fixed, thanks to Vice President Michael Kobasiuk and Director Chris
Zarcone. Boat owners please remember that there are no structures
put on the walks or bulkheads except for previously approved catwalks
and ladders.
If
your boat is near a planter feel free to plant flowers or herbs.
Remember to plant something the deer do not like to eat.
Please
remember that the marina's are carry in – carry out facilities and
no garbage should be left behind. Please do not filet fish or dump
leftover bait at or in the marinas and remind your friends and
neighbors to pickup after their dogs.
US

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary will
be preforming free voluntary boat safety inspections at our marinas
on June 14. If you are missing safety equipment they will tell you
without writing you a summons. If you have all your safety
equipment they will give you a notice saying such which will expedite
any inspections the Coast Guard performs while at sea. They usually
go to Marina #5 in the morning and Marina #1 in the afternoon.
Blue
Claw Crab Festival
August 24, 2014
Plans are well underway for
our 10th Annual Blue Claw Crab Festival at Marina 1
waterfront on Riviera Drive. Contracts have gone out to previous
vendors but we are always looking for new and exciting exhibits.
If you would like to
participate as a vendor, please contact Terrie Cicerelli at 281-2231.
If you would like to help during any part of the day or want more
information, please call the MBPOA office at 399-6111.
We are also looking for a
travel trailer or motor home to be used as our central location,
strictly used as our office with only our limited staff having access
to it during the day of the event. If anyone has one that they can
transport to the waterfront that day and remove it after the event,
we would greatly appreciate your help. Please call Lynne at 395-5432

Fund
Raising
The
MBPOA Flag Fund Raiser is still ongoing. The purpose is to help

at the marinas. Also the MBPOA is sponsoring the same girls YUMA
softball team for 6 to 10 year olds as last year. Donations can be
made to any officer, at the club house meetings, by mail to our P.O.
Box address or at the bar on Friday nights. Just make sure you
