2009 Summer Social Events
We want to thank everyone who came out

Beach Cleanup. Fortunately, there wasn’t
a lot of trash this year, and many hands
made light work, so it didn’t take long at
all.

Overlook on June 13th. It was a beautiful
evening, and everyone had fun meeting

Joseph Demeo
We are very sad to report that
Joseph Demeo, of 29 Windsor
Drive, passed away at his home on
June 2, 2009 at the age of 90.
The family wishes to thank all of
the neighbors of Manomet Beach
Shores who always took the time
to say "hello" to Joe as he walked
around the neighborhood or as he
sat in his front yard. He was very
proud of being featured in the
Winter 2009 issue of the MBSA
Newsletter. Joseph lived a very
happy and full life, and he will be
greatly missed by all who knew him.
Neighborhood Watch
Several MBSA residents met with
the Plymouth Police Cheif recently
to discuss summer patrolling of the
neighborhood. Patrol cars will be
cruising around the neighborhood
periodically, but we still need your
help to keep our neighborhood safe
and vandal-free. If you see any
suspicious activity, or if you know
who may be responsible, please
Several members have expressed
frustration with issues such as
fireworks exploding late at night,
dogs running loose, cars blocking
driveways, unapproved bon fires on
the beach, and illegal dumping. The
