Update on our Fourth of July Match Campaign

Update on our Fourth of July Match Campaign

We are so pleased to report that we were successful in our Fourth of July Match campaign! All together 41 friends and neighbors came forward, and we were able to raise $50,450. Combine that with the $35,000 from Board Members and we totaled just over $85,000!!

Even though we had to cancel our annual summer party due to our Government’s restrictions and guidelines, our work continues. We will greatly miss being together, and we hope that you and your family are staying safe and healthy in this challenging time. May you find some peace and enjoyment on the Spit or along the Bay.

It’s never too late to make your annual donation to SPB. If it is possible, please click here to make a contribution. Your commitment of annual support allows us to preserve and improve the area we all love, our “happy place”.

Fireworks!

As the Fourth of July weekend is approaching many of us will be missing our normal gatherings as well as fireworks celebrations. We have the opportunity to create our own fireworks -metaphorically that is!

Three of your SPB Board Members have generously contributed an additional $10,000 with another Board Member contributing $5,000. This gives us a total of $35,000. However, they are doing this as a matching donation opportunity. Donors must come forward before midnight on July 4th!! Contribute today to make sure we can match your gift. Click here to make your donation!

As you know, we are unable to have our annual summer gathering due to our Government’s restrictions and guidelines. Many of you make your annual donation in time to attend this event. However, even though we are unable to have our event, our work continues and our annual expenses must be met. Take advantage of this exciting chance to have your generosity matched dollar for dollar by clicking here. Your donation will go twice as far!

Your commitment of annual financial support allows us to preserve and improve the area we all love, our “happy place”. SPB is run by a Board of volunteer neighbors from the Popponesset Bay area. 100% of funds go directly to protecting and maintaining the Spit and improving the safety, water quality, and navigation in Popponesset Bay. As a reminder SPB is a 501(c)(3). If you haven’t already clicked one of the above links, please make your annual donation.

Thank you for your support and we hope that you and your family are staying safe and healthy and are finding peace and comfort spending time enjoying the Spit and the Bay.

No Dogs, No Wake!

No Dogs, No Wake!

With Summer here we are seeing a lot of people enjoying the Spit. We would like to remind you that Dogs are NOT allowed on the spit until after Labor Day. We not only encourage SPB supporters to say something to people with dogs on the Spit, we are COUNTING on them to do so. Simply stating the rule and walking away is a huge help.

We would like to remind all boaters about the new no wake zones and to please be aware of this change. Also, a reminder that the channel dredging was impacted due to mechanical challenges and the Covid-19 delays and that there was a little less than half of the sand that was expected to be dredged out of the channel and deposited on the Spit this year. They dredged 4000 cubic yards of sand and we were hoping for 8000+. All boaters should be very careful at low tide in the outer channel. The town is working on a plan to improve the dredging process and results for next year.

We are in need of New Seabury Village Ambassadors. As an ambassador, you will attend your village’s annual meeting and events. Your primary goal will be to liaison between SPB and the community. Meet with other village ambassadors to determine the best way to get the community involved in our mission. Skills required: passion for SPB.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Save Popponesset Bay. Your commitment of financial support will allow us to preserve and improve the area we all love, our “happy place”. SPB is run by a Board of volunteer neighbors from the Popponesset Bay area, so 100% of funds go directly to protecting and maintaining the Spit and improving the safety, water quality, and navigation in Popponesset Bay.
