Saturday September 13th - Community Work Party and Community Meeting

Our Fall work party and community meeting is quickly approaching.  Be sure to mark your calendar for Saturday September 13th to come be part of community clean-up, potluck and the community meeting. 


Work party days are always a great time to help with needed maintenance on community projects in preparation for winter and also to network with neighbors.


The work party begin at 8:30 am at the beach.   Be sure to sign in so you will receive credit for working which will take $50.00 off your dues for the year.   At this work party we will be doing our regular maintenance on the vegetation, ditches and road clean up as well as painting the beach house.  The work crew will enjoy lunch provided by the community.


At 4:30 pm we will have a community potluck at the beach.  Come even if you didn't have a chance to come to the work party.  Please bring a dish of your choosing.


The community meeting will begin at 5:00 pm.   The agenda will include a review of community and water finances, welcoming of new members, follow-up on old business and a discussion of any new community business. 


For those interested, Pete Goranson is also coordinating a tree trimming/cutting day for the weekend of September 20-21.   If you have trees you would like to have cut or trimmed please contact Pete.   While Pete is coordinating having someone come out to do the work, the cost will be the responsibility of each homeowner for work they have done.  We do believe it will be much cheaper though than it would be if each person had someone come out individually.  Thanks Pete for coordinating this effort.


Please plan to come.  We always have a great day and everyone helping with the maintenance makes a tremendous difference in our community.  See you on the 13th.

Fun, Food, and Games

The pictures say it all about how much fun everyone had at the annual summer picnic. As a bonus, we were pleased to welcome some of our new neighbors.

Gayle recognized the many, many, many contributions Margaret and Dennis have made to our community. We wish them all the best as they begin their next adventure in Sequim.

Thanks to Judy, Karen, Barbara, and Sandy for their hard work organizing the picnic, supervising the games, and handing out the prizes. And thanks to everyone for their contributions to the buffet.

Former Shorehill Member Cornie Hull

Cornelia Longley Hull -

January 31, 1925 - July 1, 2014

Cornelia (Cornie to everyone) was born in Los Angeles, California, January 31, 1925 to Olivia Hanna and Charles Franklin Longley. She had one brother, Charles, three years older who died at the age of 9 in 1931. She moved to Pasadena, CA in 1931 where she resided until 1946.
She was educated in the Pasadena Public Schools except for the last two years of high school when she went to the Westridge School in Pasadena. Cornie graduated from Pomona College in Claremont, CA in 1946. She moved to Seattle upon graduation and obtained a job at Pacific Northwest Bell where she worked for ten years in the business office and attained the position of supervisor.

Cornie met her husband Robert Jellison Hull (Bob) on a cruise ship bound for Alaska. They were married on September 8, 1950 in San Gabriel, CA. In 1956, she “retired” from the Telephone Company to assist her husband in their business, Tiny Tankers Oil Delivery, a career that lasted nine years. During this period two wonderful sons were born, Charles Longley (Charlie), on August 6, 1957 and Millard Thomas (Tom) on January 9, 1959.


She joined the University Presbyterian Church in 1964. In 1968 she helped to found and organize the Washington Association for Children with Learning Disabilities and worked energetically with the group for 8 years. In 1981, largely because of her mother’s longevity (103+ years), she became interested in the problems of the aging and an active volunteer with Senior Rights Assistance.

Besides being a fabulous mother to Charlie and Tom, Cornie was the best mother-in-law anyone could ask for, and finally had a daughter in Shaela, Tom's spouse. She was a proud grandmother of Daniel, Olivia, and Malcolm, who adored her. She was an amazing woman, spouse, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and friend to so many. She will be dearly missed by all.


The Memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm Thursday, July 31st, at University Presbyterian Church, 4540 15th Ave NE, Seattle. Cornelia will be interned at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Seattle. Please send any remembrances to CRISTA Good Samaritan Fund.

Bob and Cornie were wonderful members of our community for several years.   Cornie loved bathing in the sun at the beach with the "girls" and was such a wonderful woman.   Bob and Cornie owned what is now the Muhli cabin.  We miss them both.  Bob says he may pay us a visit soon, "Just for old times sake".
