“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 our
ongoing 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 sustained damages in the February 3rd power outage. While not a POENB issue specifically, it is one of quality of life. We are lucky to have a group of smart, courageous and concerned residents from all parts of Eaton’s Neck and Asharoken who have taken it upon themselves to coordinate efforts among the different property and responder associations. They have gotten the flow going in a good way….needed communication.

I encourage all to follow their progress by tapping into the several Neck-related social media plat-
forms. Please consider supporting their efforts by getting informed; as I read once–the quality of one’s life is usually determined by the quality of one’s contribution.

The POENB’s annual membership drive is in full swing. As of March 11, we had 101 members which puts us ahead of last year’s pace. We encourage you to take advantage of the early bird special and sign up by March 31st. The vision of this board is to create a community connected by humanity, common beaches and common kindness shown to one another.
