News from FIA - vol. 1, issue 3
In this issue you’ll read about:
Determined Fire Islanders who organized to defeat Robert Moses’ plan to build a road from one end of Fire Island to the other.
The Army Corps dredges that are on the way to rebuild our East End dunes and beaches.
The story of a long-forgotten T-shirt that launched a community birthday celebration!
How a vote to raise the county sales tax by just a little will do a whole lot to clean up the Great South Bay.
This summer flew by quickly, but many insist October is the best time of year on the island. Whether you have closed your house already or are taking long walks on empty beaches, thanks so much for your continued support of FIA and our mission to preserve, protect and enhance the island we all love for future generations.
Warm regards,
Suzy Goldhirsch
