LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY

SPRING CLEAN UP!
It’s time for annual clean up around the house—and time to mark your calendar for bulk pick-up dates on the Island.  Stone Harbor’s bulk pick-up will occur on May 4th; place items curbside up to 72 hours in advance.  Avalon’s bulk pick-up will occur on May 11th; place items curbside from May 1st through May 10th.

STONE HARBOR POINT
Recently underwent a restoration project designed to improve the habitat of coastal birds and resistance to future storms.  More than 50,000 cubic yards of sand were moved to elevate bird habitat areas above spring tide elevations, and an existing dune was enhanced to improve storm resistance.  This summer be sure to take a stroll around Stone Harbor Point—it’s a wonderfully relaxing place to be, with views in every direction!

COAST GUARD COMMUNITY FESTIVAL
Cape May County was recently designated a “Coast Guard Community” and is one of only two in the nation.  A Coast Guard Community Festival May 8th-10th, to be held at the Coast Guard’s Training Center in Cape May, will include special events, tours of Coast Guard boats, various exhibits, and children’s activities.  The event will kick off with a Proclamation Ceremony at 5:30pmFriday, May 8th, and will continue throughout the weekend.  The public is enthusiastically invited!
