Summer at the Shore

President’s Message

by BJ Newell

Friends and Neighbors!

Back to Friends of Belmont Shore Night is almost here!

Join us Thursday, September 3rd

when we welcome

Patrol Resource Officer Brendan Murphy 

and 

Dispatcher Preparedness Staff

speaking on 

“Safety in our Community”

If you have specific questions for PRO Murphy, please email them to info@shorefriends.org, no later than September 1st.

I, for one, am highly interested in hearing East Division’s strategy for handling the Fourth of July crowds from other communities, aren’t you?  

Hope you were able to savor our summer community concert with Jumping Jack Flash on August 13th!  It was highly successful; the attendance was estimated at 1,000 appreciative, enthusiastic people.

Our September meeting has significance for many reasons.

We will celebrate Friends of Belmont Shore’s ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY.  Our first meeting was August 27, 2015.  Yummy cookies courtesy of Colossus will be provided at this meeting.

In addition, applications to become FoBS Board Members will be available at the meeting.  Join our group of hard-working volunteers. FoBS needs YOU!  Applications due October 28.

BIG BIG THANKS to the 95 members who paid dues for 2026.  This is a banner roster of paid members!  Wooooo Hooooo!

See you there….see you on Second
