The Trails Committee continues to do great work: the two new trails (Bella's Roost & Katherine's Climb) are short beautiful hikes (a bit of up and down so not a simple walk). The new version of the trail map can be found in the downloads section. The short trail to the beach at Indian Point has been cleaned up. Work completed by: Craig Turnbull, Keith Brothers, Dave DeRosia, Dave Nedwick and Kristopher Nedwick.

Additional work has been completed on both the Pavilion and the Stable campground. The inside of the Pavilion has been painted and the floor has been sealed. One mural has been completed with one more to come and the old swimming pool has a wonderful planting. The bathroom floors in the Stable have been painted. The outside has had damaged wall material replaced and sealed, primed and painted. Bathrooms have been painted and additional painting is being done. Broken bathroom fans have been replaced. Work by Tom Reynolds, David Hill and Matt Walsh.

Our Volleyball court has had heavy use all summer. Newly graded and with new posts, nets, and marker lines. It is a fitting tribute to Caitlin Boyle, the daughter of members Connie and Neal Boyle. Installing a new covered bench and finishing the nautical themed post & rope fence have been completed. Additional picnic tables have been placed and a dedication and a sign were completed by the Boyle family. Work by, the Boyles, Keith Brothers, Dave DeRosia and Bob Pryor.

The large PSJA signs welcoming guests at the entrance to the association on Donegal Bay at the Pavilion and at other locations around PSJA are being repainted and look wonderful. Both murals and signs are being done by Dawn George

The Font Lake boat launch looks transformed and the township has finished completing the 1st parking areas for those using this resource (Please park on the widened area of Font Lake Rd., just north of the launch). We have added Adorondaik chairs and a picnic bench. The new mini park is very well used. It gives a wonderful view down Font lake. This was a project of John Roberts supported by Dave DeRosia, Craig Turnbull, Keith Brothers, Bob Pryor, Jim Flanagan and Jim Wojan and crew.

Improvements have been made to Northshore park, now named for our former land agent Gus Schmidt who passed away last year. His daughter Claudia has planted a Redwood tree in his memory. We also have repaired and repainted the old picnic table and installed a new one. Look for additional improvements in this park. Completed by Trish Scott, Dave DeRosia, ???

The families of two of our members have, with board approval, placed memorial benches overlooking the beach at Donegal Bay.

On another sad note several of our Board Members have left the board:

Donna Hardenberg who left the board a year and a half ago has unfortunately passed on. We all miss her greatly

Dian King left the board 1 ½ years ago due to illness and death in her family. 

Stan Jensen left the Island at the end of May last year because he found last winter that being on the Island kept him too distant from loved ones on the mainland. We hope to see him back soon for visits.

Craig Turnbull ends a long and very productive term on the board this year after creating new trails, continuing to maintain existing trails and being a key person in the Volleyball Court and Font Lake improvements. We wish him well.

Finally, we have completed the 1st stage of collecting from members who had not paid their assessments for many years. We settled out of court on our 1st foreclosure proceeding and have begun a second and have instituted liens on several others but in the end we collected $24,920 in assessments from people who were a great many years overdue. These monies will help to support further improvements to your PSJA properties.
