Dear Eaton’s Neck Friends, Family, and Neighbors, April 2024 has been a month of noteworthy events, quite literally making it one for the record books. In less than a week, the northeast experienced a major spring storm on April 3rd, an earthquake on April 5th, and a solar eclipse on April 8th. Did I miss anything? True to form, the Eaton’s Neck community showed resilience and readiness throughout these events.We are all aware of the severity of the storm on April 3rd, and I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Chief Pokorny and his team at the…

Dear Eaton’s Neck Friends, Family, and Neighbors, Let me begin by wishing everyone a Happy Spring. As we bid farewell to the winter chill and welcome the vibrant colors of spring, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the wonderful activities that lie ahead for our community. I think you can all agree that there is nothing quite like the spring and summer seasons in our beloved Eaton’s Neck. In the coming weeks and months, we will host and welcome several tried-and-true POENB events, such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Friday night barbecues, and others. In other news, I…

As we approach the end of another year, we reflect on some of the things we were able accomplish together in 2023. Notable among these was the replacement of half the fence at Price’s Bend. As part of this effort, we were pleased to be able to add security cameras and WIFI for residents as well. After that we turned our attention to Valley Grove where we added electric so we could begin to hold events there. And we did – bringing live music to Valley Grove at last with our Endless Summer concert. Per usual, many great 2023 accomplishments…

As the leaves make one final drop, the skies darken way too soon & families gather for their Thanksgiving feast, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible sense of community that defines our little beach haven. We wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving with particular appreciation to the 257 households who joined POENB this year. That figure is yet another record year and we hope to continue to grow further. The purpose of POENB is to care for and maintain our beautiful beaches. We cannot do it without the support of our members. New Neckers should realize that unlike most…

“In Early June the world of leaf and blades and flowers explode and every sunset is different.” -John Steinbeck With the meteorological summer upon us, THE NECK has been exploding with new activity. We kicked off the season with two very successful beach cleanups and thank all who volunteered their time (a list can be found inside this issue. If we missed anyone, please let us know). Members, we appreciate YOU! Lots of other new things have been happening too. We’re pleased to report that we have installed new security cameras down at Price’s Bend. We’ve also added wifi for…

April presents her green traffic light and Eaton’s Neck hits the gas and says, “GO”! Spring is all about new beginnings and transformations; it’s a season that symbolizes starting fresh and starting over. After months of cold temperatures that can result in many of us feeling the winter blues, spring reawakens us and our surrounding environment, bringing everything back to the life. This time of the year is what life on The Neck is all about — # NECK LIFE. Which bring me to another new beginning, a new beach season! Our first official POENB social event of the year,…

“The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it’s conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.” -Jim Hightower We have some real big flow problems out here on the Neck. Flow of water; as demonstrated by ourongoing drainage issues. Flow of electricity; highlighted recently by the February storm that took out out PSEG’s power and a whole lot of home heating pipes. And the ever-present flow of traffic…sometimes blocked when we experience severe flooding at the Bevin Seawall. On behalf of The Board and our membership I want to extend my sympathy and concern for all those who…

A Happy and Healthy New Year to all. When I was voted in this past December I figured I’d have a few months to get my feet wet. Just before Christmas, Mother Nature obliged – – flooding not only my feet but both our beaches. We got lucky on this one, but it’s a reminder of how fragile nature has become. And a reminder that POENB’s ability to restore its beaches depends on a strong membership. As we turn the calendar on another new year here on THE NECK! We’re all look forward to the upcoming beach season and your…
