There is so much happening in Vilano Beach now that September has arrived and summer is almost gone. I have been meaning to keep you up-to-date, but have been falling behind.

Tonight, Monday, September 14th is the first ever Pot Luck Dinner at North Shores Improvement Association's (NSIA) meeting tonight. Instead of the monthly forum, it has changed to a pot luck dinner. Not much notice was given, so I hope you can make it. Bring hors d'oeuvers or a dish to share while getting to know your neighbors.

Directions: Vilano Beach is the closest Beach to downtown St. Augustine, FL. Take the Vilano Bridge (Usina Bridge) to Vilano. Take a left on A1A. Go less than 1 mile to just past Surfside Park to a left on Meadow. Go a little over a block to 120 Meadow Avenue.

Date: Monday, September 14, 2009

Time: 7 p.m.

Where: North Shores Community Center at 120 Meadow Avenue (1 block off of Coastal Highway)

Who: Everyone in the area!

Bring: Dish to share with your neighbors

There will also be a tour of the old Fire Station. There will be a new Sheriff Stop Station located here.

See you tonight.

Barbara Jenness is President of Friends of A1A and vice-president of the North Shores Improvement Association.
