Farewell to Winter!
Early morning's bright sunshine
It seems a bit different today
Open the window
Hear the seagulls
Spring is finally here!

Beach Shores 3/14/10
OK, so maybe with March being the
wettest month on record, you are
thinking that getting a bigger boat
might seem like a good idea, but don’t
despair! Summer is just around the
corner, and the MBSA is putting
together a Summer program of fun
activities and events, sure to make
Summer 2010 a Summer to
Remember.
Join your friends and neighbors on
the Saturday of Memorial Day
Weekend, and kick off the Summer
with our 7th Annual Neighborhood
Cleanup Day on May 29th,
when we will meet to clean up, spruce
up, and fix up our neighborhood and
the beach in preparation for the
upcoming 2010 Summer Season.
We will meet at the Beach Overlook,
near the Ramp at 10:00am Saturday,
May 29th. The MBSA will provide
garbage bags and sanitary gloves, but
we encourage everyone to bring your
own gardening tools and work gloves.
Also in preparation for the Summer
Season, the Association Stairs will be
lowered prior to Memorial Day. Please
contact Clinton Bowes at 508-2242192 if you would like to help with
this important task.
Where the Dues Go

our neighborhood a desirable place to
live, the MBSA must charge dues to
cover the costs.
20% of our dues go toward the payment
of the Property Taxes levied by the
Town of Plymouth on the beach.
60% of our budget goes to Property
Maintenance, such as the stairs, the
ramp, the seawall, the overlook, the
entrance sign, beach access, and a
reserve fund for storm damage.
10% goes for Summer Social Events.
The remaining 10% covers the cost of
Thank You to all who have already paid
your 2010 dues. To date, we have
received 82 dues—or 40% of the total
residences.
Please do your part! If you have not
already paid your 2010 Dues, become
a member of the Manomet Beach
Shores Association, and send in your
dues payment with the form provided
in this newsletter. At only $60 per
year (the cheapest in South Plymouth),
it is a good investment in the value of
your property!

Seaside Socials for 2010
“When driving in the
neighborhood, please
respect the posted
speed limits, and stop
at the stop signs.
If you have visitors,
please remind your
tenants and guests to
do the same. A tragic
accident is not the way
we would like to
remember the summer!
Thank You!
