Kayak for Warriors a Huge Success
By Jean McDanal
Despite tropical storm Andrea threatening to dampen the weekend events for Kayak for Warriors, June 7 and 8, our local community
was undeterred and came out in full force to support Hope for the Warriors. We are so excited to see this year’s tally. We presented a check
for $70,000 to Hope for the Warriors at the reception on Saturday, June 15. Only through much hard work and dedication was the result
so outstanding. Over 150 volunteers spent endless hours securing donations for the auction and raffle, getting food donated by local food
establishments, getting the word out and actually working from sunrise to sundown.
Friday nights reception and live auction was fun! Initially scheduled to be held at town hall, the auction was moved to the fire station
because of high winds. Over 260 people registered to bid. Thanks to Howard Henderson and his wife, Mary Ellen, of Auctioneersondeck.
com, the bids were flying from one end of the room to the other. Items included beach house weeks, dental care, chiropractic services, fish
ing expeditions, golf outings, kayaks and so much more. The total from the auction itself was over $12,000. Much of the delicious food was
donated by local establishments.
Thanks to Celeste Lindley and her team, including Pat Lewis, Mickey Muns, Maureen Danehy, Elaine Moore, Barbara Baccollo, Donna
Belanger, Barbara Gaunt, Mary Anne Hotham, Arlene Terrell, Joy Wray and Bonnie Ferneau for helping with the food presentation and
serving. Beverages were taken care of by Mike King, Tom Moeller and Tom King.

Budget for
Fiscal-Year
2013-2014
By John Brodman
The Board of
Commissioners
(BOC) unani
mously passed
the proposed
budget for Pine
Knoll Shores for the fiscal year 2013-
2014 (which begins July 1, 2013, and
ends June 30, 2014) at its regularly
scheduled meeting on June 13. This
action was the culmination of a process
that began in January and involved
many special BOC meetings, several
presentations of the proposed budget
to the citizens of Pine Knoll Shores in
open meetings by Mayor Jones, publi
cation of the proposed budget for pub
lic inspection and review in multiple
venues and a public hearing.
The new budget maintains the town’s
basic (ad valorem) property tax rate at
the same level of 15.6 cents per $100 of
assessed value that has been in place for
several years now. The oceanfront and
non-oceanfront beach tax rates remain '
unchanged at 5.2 cents and 1.4 cents
per $100 of assessed value, respectively,
and there are no changes in the billing
rates the town charges for water. Over
all, the towns financial status remains
solid, arid the new budget is balanced,
as required by North Carolina state law.
