It's hard to believe that we are entering the Fall season and another summer is past.  We would like to update you on the current status of annual fundraising for the Friends of Spooners Creek and replacement of the fuel tank at the Shores Marina.

• Friends of Spooners Creek... As you may be aware, we dredged the channel from Spooners Creek to the Intracoastal Waterway this past Spring to a minimum depth of six feet at low tide at a cost of $65,000.00.  This 2025 expenditure exhausted 75 percent of previously raised funds.  Dredging costs increased dramatically due to logistical hurdles associated with removing dredged materials and will be equally expensive, if not more, in the future.  We thank those who already donated for 2025, but are well behind historical donation percentages at this time.  All waterfront and non-waterfront homeowners, condo owners at The Shores and boat slip holders benefit from the recognition of Spooners Creek being a navigable waterway to access our beautiful local waters.  Without this benefit property values will plummet.  The volunteer board for the Friends of Spooners Creek respectfully requests your support to replenish funds for the next dredging which planning estimates indicate will be needed in three years.  Please visit the contribution page of this website for options to donate.

The Shores Marina Fuel Dock... Earlier this year the marina fuel dock closed for a needed replacement of the fuel tank.  We are told the new fuel tank is in hand, permits acquired and coordination efforts are underway to install the new tank.  No set date yet, but things are moving in the right direction with hopes of installation occuring before the end of the year.

Year end financial information has been updated on our website.
