WE DO DOO-DOO

 

The IRB HOA, in cooperation with the City of IRB, is conducting a "Doggy Do-Do Bag Stand" test project. This year, the City budgeted $6,000 for the dog waste bags distributed throughout the City for residents to clean up after their pets. By our group footing the tab for constructing and erecting the first bag stand unit and encouraging residents to place their used plastic grocery bags inside, we save the City money AND reduce the number of plastic bags in our landfill. It's a win-win for the City, the environment and the residents! The initial stand is in process even as we speak, so keep looking in Kolb Park (across from City Hall) for its debut. If it goes well, additional stands will be installed across the City and in our parks! Once again, we DO DO it!

HOW MANY HOA VOLUNTEERS DOES IT TAKE TO...? It doesn't matter because how ever many are needed, this group always shows up in full force! The Biggest Beach Party Ever! on April 28th was no exception. From the pre-planning and set-up through manning the shifts selling tickets, beer, wine all the way to tear-down, we gave a new meaning to the word teamwork! Thanks to everyone who helped make this event our biggest of the year! We want to thank all the event sponsors for supporting us. You can bet we'll return the favor!

HOA VOLUNTEERS ARE THE BEST! What kind of volunteers will show up at 6:15 a.m. on a Saturday morning to set up and register runners for the Guppy's Gulfside Gallop? How many organizations can find enough volunteers to help with THREE events on the same day? What volunteers do you know who will spend a Friday night stuffing eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt? What volunteers not only help with HOA events but are also there to work other non-HOA sponsored ones? OUR VOLUNTEERS...THAT'S WHO! Once again, we thank all those who helped with the Guppy's Gulfside Gallop, the Easter Egg Hunt and those who manned the two-hour shifts at the City of IRB's Beauty & the Beach on April 7th, selling water/soda, t-shirts and raffle tickets.

PERSONAL THANK-YOU TO VOLUNTEERS FROM OUR PRESIDENT
