Hey Avalon Beach neighbors,
Welcome to 2025 ABIA membership renewal season! The 2025 membership renewal forms have been mailed out and are available to print at our website ABIA-Membership-Application.doc.
This year we are happy to provide online membership registration to all Avalon Beach property owners. Online registration eliminates the need to mail in a membership form. You can complete the process entirely on the website and your member parking pass will be mailed to you. If you’re interested in online registration, please visit Membership – Avalon Beach Improvement Association for more details.
Just a reminder, the general membership meeting will be held on Saturday, May 3rd at the Dare County Public Library located at 400 Mustain St in Kill Devil Hills at 1pm. We will elect two board members at this year’s meeting. One current board member will not be seeking re-election. Anyone interesting in running for a board position feel free to email avalonbeachobx@aol.com with any questions. Look forward to seeing you all at the meeting.
Best,
Will Foxwell
President, ABIA
Please consider becoming involved in this cause. To learn more, Join the FB group linked below, 'Nuisance aquatic grass buildup on the Sound'.
Thanks, Jo
*********************************************************************
A couple of sound property owners met with a state rep last week to discuss the nuisance aquatic grass buildup along the sound bulkheads. He was very informative and helpful. He said the primary sound grass is Widgeon which is not invasive. The invasive weed Milfoil is here too, but Widgeon is the long stringy grass that is building up along the bulkheads creating a stench, clogging crab traps and boat motors, and restricting fishing. He is pursuing possible solutions with the town and marine fisheries.
A FB group has been created to organize property owners, share concerns, information and ideas, and pursue state and local resources to assist in addressing this nuisance issue. Join the group here - fb.me/g/3jiTzviW4/3I326wCX ... See MoreSee Less

The state specialist for invasive aquatic weeds management program, Drew Gay, has agreed to meet with the community of concerned property owners regarding the summer build up of milfoil along the sound waterfronts and possible efforts to manage it. The meeting is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2 pm at Geof Fountain’s home at 2002 Bay Drive. Geof has some parking space or you can park at the public dock. Depending on the number of people that show up, we will meet on the deck or the back yard. If it is raining and we have more than ten, we can meet under the carport.
