Summer at the Shore

President’s Message

by BJ Newell

Friends and Neighbors …

Join us for our last community meeting of 2026!

 Thursday, November 5th

Third District Councilmember

Kristina Duggan

speaking on

The Highlights and Challenges of 2026

Bay Shore Community Church Fellowship Hall

Doors open 6 pm

Meeting starts 6:30 pm

This will be an important night when we hear our council member’s perspective on the past year’s events.  

In addition, we will be holding our election of candidates applying to serve on the Friends of Belmont Shore Board of Directors.

Candidates are: Keith Mason, Cari Kehr, and Rebecca Hinderer.

Cari has served as our treasurer for three years and has generously offered to put in one more year.  The treasurer’s role is critical in running any organization and we are grateful for the hours and expertise she has put in for FoBS.

 Keith wears many hats for our organization.  He acts as our city council watchdog, organizes Mix & Mingle events, manages our website, publishes our newsletters, and handles sound at our meetings at the church.

 Newcomer Rebecca has also applied to become part of the FoBS board.  As the owner of Let’s Yolk About It on Second Street, Rebecca will bring a new perspective and energy to our group, while growing our community involvement even further. 

 Come cast your ballot for all three candidates applying for three positions!
