President’s Message, January 2021

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  The photo above inspires so many thoughts as we begin 2021 — is the sun setting on 2020 or rising on the hope of 2021?

I can imagine the sun on the photographer’s face and I am longing for the same on our association beaches.  This month’s “Tides” has a great deal of information concerning our community.

Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Members, This is a time of year for refection. Thanksgiving is upon us and we can look inward and embrace gratitude.

While this might not be the ideal Thanksgiving we imaged, I want to wish the entire Eaton’s Neck Family a happy, healthy and…
