Our
first three seasonal visitors, Ana, Bill
and Claudette, took one look around, stuck their toes in our Treasure
Island bath water and immediately went elsewhere. Bill
is heading north, so lotta rain, lotta  whoosh-whoosh wind, lot
less beach, lot more broken tree limbs, and a bonanza for the
battery-sellers and liquor stores in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Next
three potential Treasure Island visitors: Danny, Erika and Fred. (Storm
name "Glenn Beck" was dropped from the 2009 list for
fear the storm would recklessly spin backwards and bury
the country with half-literate nonsense and ignorant drivel). Click
the clicky here
for our 5-step program on our 2009 Hurricane Preparedness page. Be ready
... be very storm-ready ... we're coming into peak
season.
Outstanding
in their field
Our
Treasure Island Hospitality Golf League, led by our ever-hospitable
Golf Pro Gary Metzger (in the middle, fondling A Big Check with Cathy  Hayduke and Kathy Scott), played lots of golf this
season and raised two grand for the Children's Dream Fund. The teams
are made up of all-around good guys and gals from our local restaurants and
hotels, some who
make a living on tips (18%, anyone?) and still find the
time to give something back. (Some even have names identical to 2009
storm names). Cathy is the TI Parks and Recreation Director; the other
Kathy (with a K) is the Donor Relations/Kids Who Care Coordinator for the
Children's Dream Fund. Don't have a golf team in the league? Call Cathy
(with a C) at 727-547-4575 ext. 237 for details.

CAN-DO: The last
thing you
need is a garbage can of  moist trash steaming
quietly in your driveway beneath the torrid Florida sun. Which
brings us to Holiday Trash Collections for
the Labor Day Holiday! If your
trash day is on Monday, September 7th, your trash will be
picked up on Tuesday, September 8th. If your trash day is
Tuesday,
September 8th, your trash will be picked up Wednesday,
September 9th ... SEWERS THAT
QUALIFY FOR AARP: Treasure Island’s aging
sewer system, showing its 50+ years of service with cracks and
groundwater leaks, gets
a high-tech retrofitting in the next few weeks that will seal up
the leaks. That's the good
news. The even
better news is the  project is
done without digging trenches and disrupting traffic. About 5900
feet of sewer pipe on the Isle of Palms, Paradise Island and Sunset
Beach is scheduled for relining, beginning the week of August 24th ... SO WHEN IS ...?
Answering some inquiries from our big e*ti e-mail bag, the TI Chamber
of Commerce Beach
Blast Family Fun Day is Saturday, September 5th ... The Treasure Island
Holiday Boat Parade is Sunday, December 13th ... The annual Gator Club Football
Kickoff Party is Saturday, August 29th at Gator's ... The 28th
Annual John's Pass Seafood
Festival is October 24th and 25th ... The next e*ti newsletter is
