I am so pleased to be the leader of the RPA. We are an organization that has active participation by its members, Officers and Board of Directors.

Our annual events are enjoyed by people of all ages in the community. There is sincere concern for the youth and seniors. The Association continues to sponsor successful events and is open to the exploring additional events that there might be interest in.

Support of the Cooperative Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony and Family Fun Day is evidenced by financial contributions from the RPA.  American flags that fly on the main road each year and our support of the Wounded Warriors Project show the civic pride of our Association.

I’d like to thank you the members for the support that you’ve given to me personally while I’ve been your President.  Your Officers and Directors must also be thanked for the commitment that they’ve given and continue to give to our Association. 

Please continue to attend our General Membership meetings.  You will see familiar faces and you’ll have the opportunity to meet new members of the RPA.  If you haven’t attended our meetings in the past mark your calendars and make an effort to attend. 

Note the events listed in this newsletter and if you haven’t volunteered for any of them yet think about it.  I can tell you that you receive so much in return when you volunteer your time and efforts.  On that note I’ll conclude my letter by stating that I appreciate the many kind words I’ve heard over the years for the effort that I’ve put into continuing the work of so many volunteers before me.  My job is an easy one because I simply follow a wonderful blueprint that was designed many years ago by people who had a vision of something that could serve a purpose and could last.

Sincerely,
Terri Cassidy

What is the Rockaway Point Association?

The Breezy Point Cooperative is comprised of three areas: Roxbury, Rockaway Point and Breezy Point. Each community has their own civic association.  All stockholders must be members of an Association. 

The Rockaway Point Association represents the shareholders of all homes from the main gate west to Ocean Avenue, more than 1100 homes.

The Rockaway Point Association (RPA) is a community group comprised of shareholders whose goal is to ensure the safety, beautification and quality of life in our community.  The RPA acts as a liaison between the Breezy Point Coop and the Rockaway Point community.  The Association also represents the membership in dealing with our neighboring civic associations, the Cooperative, and other agencies. Afterall, many voices are better than one.

Who runs the Rockaway Point Association?

The officers and board members of the Association are Rockaway Point shareholders elected by you. They give their time voluntarily for the betterment of our entire community.  They meet on a regular basis during the year.  Elections are held at the last general meeting of the summer (August 25, 2008).

How do you participate in the Association?

What are the annual dues and what are they used for?

The following is a partial list and description of some of our services that are funded by you:

• Investigate and approve all applications for summer rental and purchase of homes in Rockaway Point.

• Children's swimming races and beach foot races

• Provide supervised summer recreational programs for boys and girls, offering softball, baseball, basketball, volleyball, T-ball and field events. Awards night acknowledges everyone's achievements.

In conclusion, we hope you enjoy living in Rockaway Point as much as we do. We look forward to seeing you at the Association meetings. We encourage you to become active; our Association will be strengthened by your involvement.  Please join with your neighbors to provide a healthy, happy and caring community.
