Upcoming Work Party September 9, 2023 - Projects

Our next community work party is scheduled for September 9, 2023.  We have several projects planned that will need to have plenty of people available to help complete the projects.  Please mark your calendar now for September 9th - 9:00 am - 1:30 pm and let us know what project you would like to help with.  

• Water Shed - Working with others, under Dana and/or Pete's guidance, finishing building a ramp from the stairs continuing to the door of the pump house.  Basic carpentry skills a plus.
• Steps - We are planning to add a section of steps on the slanted grade from the road down to the beach house.  Bob Falk will be providing leadership and guidance.   Ability to lift small landscaping blocks and put into place will be helpful on this project.
• Meter Reading - We will be checking the meter readings at each residence.    Requires working in teams of 2, bending, lifting metal covering over meter and recording numbers.
• Staining - We will be refreshing the stain on the pier.   Although the pier will still be in use during the work party we will begin staining any areas such as rails, etc that can be stained while still in use.   We will complete project at the end of the season.
• Vegetation - We will be weeding and cutting back vegetation at the beach and on each of the community roads.   
• Entryway - On each side of the community entry there are landscaping blocks that need to be reset.
• Community Signs - Shorehill signs at entryway need maintenance and/or repair.  May also require painting.
• Mailbox Structure - Assess posts for any maintenance and/or repair needs.  Clean boxes.   
• Chains - Replace deteriorating covering on chains at roundabout/boat launch.  Check locks for any needed preventive maintenance.
• Signs - Replace Alta Vista Road sign and check others for any needed maintenance.  Check NO DIVING/NO PARKING signs and secure as needed.   

Please let us know of any other projects you have noticed that need attention.   

Remember, you receive $50.00 credit on your next community dues bill for participating.   

Great time to interact with neighbors and the community meeting follows the work party.    

We look forward to seeing you and appreciate you all being part of helping to keep this a great community!

BE AWARE - BEAR SIGNS WITHIN SHOREHILL ESTATES

Sightings of bear scat within Shorehill Estates have been reported.  Be cautious.  

Bear poop, or scat, is tubular like human feces but larger. It is often found along trails or at the base of trees or plants. The color and material of bear scat vary depending on what the bear is eating. Bears are mostly vegetarian and eat grass, roots, wood debris, ants, or pine cones. In late summer, they eat large amounts of berries, which make their scat runny and blackish-red with visible seeds.

Unknown Car on Marine View Drive

There is an unknown car parked at the top of Marine View Drive.  Does anyone have information about this car?  If you do please contact me.   Thanks so much.
