PINE KNOLL ASSOCIATION BOARD MEETING, February 8, 1977: As we ease into the
tourist Sind out-of-town guest season, the Associatioii Board reminds us that
visitors of Association Members want to take their own cars to the beach
access parking lot or their boat trailers and cars to the Association boat
docks and park areas must be provided with GUEST STICKERS for this purpose
by Members, who will recall that in the regulations which came vrith the
original stickers is written the following: ”Guest stickers are registered
against the property owners, are one dollar each, and are good for one year
only,*' Stickers issued now will expire June 30? 1978, will be punched
accordingly, and can be obtained from Association Secretary-Treasurer ELIZA
BETH AMES on White Ash Drive,
Original stickers on members* cars are good indefinitely, so if you are
caught short without a guest sticker, let your guest take your car. Better
still, have a guest sticker ready just the way you have clean sheets and
picked crab ready for the lucky folks v;ho come to see you!
The Association Board invites us all to attend their monthly meetings, held
the second Tuesday of every month at the Tov/n Hall, Roosevelt Drive, Pine
Knoll Shores, promptly at 7^30 p*m,, in order to acquaint ourselves with the
continuing v/ork done by this loyal group of Directors,
BOGUE BAMS COUNTRY CLUB membership voted for what it calls "Plan BV at a
special meeting held at the Club February 11, About 100 members were pre
sent, either in person or by proxy. The Board of Directors had put together
Plan B in order to try to keep the membership in the hands of the members,
avoiding takeover by the bank, which was imminent without some action of
this kind, PHan B says that members in good standing as of February 21,
1977, must now: 1) Have their 1st quarter 1977 dues paid, 2) Purchase one
member Equity certificate for ^i^OO, 3) Purchase one ^JlOOO bond either by
cash or by subscription.
Plan B won out strongly against any alternate plans and the current flov/ing
through the room seemdd to indicate big feelings of *’let*s hang in here and
keep this thing going together!" Members were, of course, urged to make
their pledges soon and to offer continued support to the Club, both by par
ticipating in its events and by using its facilities. We happen to know
that there is the usual group of unsung-type heroes who have been more
supportive than anyone else by being the most dedicated groundskeepers a
club has probably ever known. Wild praises shotild be shouted for these
guys, who would never have equals in hired help grounds workers,

Sheboygan, Wisconsin was v;ell into winter by mid-December, snow piled high
everywhere, but mostly around parking meters, making it impossible to put
in ones money without wearing sld-S,
Salt Lake City, on the other hand, tv/o days before Christmas, was without so
much as a flake of snow, and Snowbird, its big winter resort area, had less
snow than Sheboygan's plowed streets* The sun shone for five days for us
on brown ground, while at night Christmas lights twinkled on bare trees.
On to Seattle emd more surprise sunshine, with views of Mt, Rainier to take
your breath away, and a miniature snow fall that provided enough packing
stuff for a fine snov/man in at least one front yard. The snowman stood
tall for a whole day, but the rest of the snov/ disappeared the first morning.
Back to Wisconsin for a week of blizzards, follov/ed by a windy, snowy week
end in Chicago, where, quite frankly, the wind begins and ends and gets all
its practice for the rest of the country, *
Once more to Morehead City for a bit of rain and a fine clearing up before
heading for below zero Wisconsin again. Then Dallas, bright and brisk and
