At this time all current officers will be standing for re-election. We expect two of our seven current board members will not be running. Nominations for all offices and directors must be sent in writing to the current board of directors at: P.O. Box 101, Revere MA 02151. (this address is for nominations only) All nominations must be received by 5/22/11. Nominees must be members in good standing, and should send a brief bio. Nominations will not be accepted from the floor so that we can print a ballot beforehand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;This year we will also hold a vote on a dues increase of $10, and proposed amendments to the bylaws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Please note that we will be sending out a separate letter for the collection of dues. The term of annual membership runs from June 1 2011 to May 31 2012. The term for all offices and directors will be for 2 years. Dues will be collected at the end of the meeting for the membership year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Among the planned improvements for this season is the replacement of the remaining two iron stairways on the side beach with new wood stairs.

Update - Kim, a point of pines resident, emailed the website with this info:"I forwarded my pictures to the Mass. Wildlife Assoc. and come to fine out that our visitor turns out to be a "Juvenile Bald Eagle", no more than 2 months old.  He will get his white hood between his 4th and 5th year of life!  " Thanks to Kim for the update.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/717090015024985163-5484637778576929516?l=pointofpines.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/717090015024985163/posts/default/5484637778576929516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/717090015024985163/posts/default/5484637778576929516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pointofpines.blogspot.com/2009/07/golden-eagle-visits-point-of-pines.html' title='Juvenile Bald Eagle visits the Point of Pines Beach'/><author><name>Renee Ciaramella</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07700528643026017611</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bt3u3TDfyAk/Sm-ra-BwMqI/AAAAAAAAABQ/l5sZ787AK4U/s72-c/IMG_8212+cropped.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717090015024985163.post-1852035334733462837</id><published>2009-07-24T17:14:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-24T17:19:09.532-04:00</updated><title type='text'>3rd Annual POPBA Meet Your Neighbor Night July 25, 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5ODzpL9gTk8/SmolOEjeaBI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Wvwu6Qjjy0s/s1600-h/shells.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 127px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362139230008928274" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5ODzpL9gTk8/SmolOEjeaBI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Wvwu6Qjjy0s/s200/shells.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;Please join us on Saturday, July 25th, 2009 at 7PM – 11PM for some light refreshments, cash bar and some great friends (our neighbors) !!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;Feel free to bring an appetizer or desert to our gathering.

this is one of the best pieces I've found. I have spoken with some folks from DCR Wildlife, &amp;amp; they all said that anyone with a medium to large dog needn't worry, but anyone with a smaller dog should keep it on a leash &amp;amp; of course, outside cats should be kept in if possible. Apparently, the coyotes find a winter home &amp;amp; usually stay there til the weather gets warmer. (Sure, the Point of Pines is a lovely winter residence!) So it looks like this guy may be here for a while. They're very afraid of people, tho, so the best thing to do is just ignore it, &amp;amp; it helps to make lots of noise if you see it. (I took my Christmas jingle bells with me this a.m.) to scare it off. They are not just nocturnal, so you may see it during the day too. The good news is that they eat mice, rats &amp;amp; skunks so it will help to keep the rodent population down.
