President’s Message, November 2020

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…

President’s Message, October 2020

Dear Friends, Neighbors and Fellow POENB Members, As 2020 is in its final quarter and we can all see the finish line in the distance, the cur- rent board would like to take this time to reach out to all POENB members. Many folks stop me and ask about getting more involved.

This couldn’t be truer than caring for…

Hello friends, neighbors, members and residents of Eaton’s Neck.

We care deeply about our…
