President’s Message
by BJ Newell
Friends and neighbors!
Unfortunately we need to postpone our proposed Second Street Median FoBS Beautification project that had been scheduled this Saturday March 7th, due to circumstances beyond our control. We’ll keep you informed on when the event will be rescheduled.
In the meantime, we are looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting on April 9th when we welcome LB Yacht Club’s Junior Staff Commodore Lisa Meier who will give us the info on all sailing events in our waters and off our LB Pier.
