Community Involvement Requested In Clean Up Efforts

Clean up efforts within our community will take significant time and commitment by all of us. All community members are encouraged to assist in the clean up efforts as they are able to. This Sunday, (12/16) from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm (as weather permits) we invite you to join us at the beach as another crew of members begins to tackle some of the clean up projects. We realize this is a busy time of year for everyone. If you are unable to come work on Sunday, we have made a list below of work that needs to be done. Any time you are at the canal and are able to make progess on any of these projects please do so. All efforts will help restore the beauty and stability of our community. The list below is only a beginning. As you see other areas which need attention, or if you have questions, please send an email to shorehill@gmail.com. We will keep you aprised of the progess, scheduled work days, meetings and areas needing attention via this blog.

Thank you to everyone who has already started working on projects or contributed in some way to the community.
