The featured picture is last years crew. The OSDA will prepare and sponsor the annual beach worker appreciation breakfast at the Ellen T Mitchell Bathhouse on Wednesday, 07/26/23.  It is a time to gather and show these employees how much they are appreciated.  Last year we served over 80 employees bagels, muffins, yogurt, fruit and beverages before they headed out to their daily assignments. If you'd like to assist the committee with this endeavor please write to info@oldstonedock.com.  Once held this story will be updated and include a few pictures of the event.

The Old Stone Dock Association Annual Beach Cleanup and Membership Promotion was held on Saturday, 06/10/23 at Surf Drive Beach.  The OSDA members gathered at 9:30 am for a meet and greet at the Ellen T Mitchell Bathhouse with our Board of Directors, Assistant Beach Superintendent Brooke McMillan and Beach Committee Member Geralyn Schad.  The needs of the beach and parking area were discussed.  There was minimal trash to be picked up because area students had done that the past week along the beach and roadway so this year the OSDA members concentrated on weeding and sprucing up around the parking lot, the building and the corner of Walker Street and Shore Street.   OSDA Board Member Steve Saunders had the flower boxes made up at Soares Nursery and installed them the Wednesday before Memorial Day.  We presented a check payable to the Beach Donation Account to cover the cost at our annual beach cleanup.  2023 06-10 Before Cleanup 1 2023 06-10 Before Cleanup 2 2023 06-10 Membership Promotion; Steve Saunders, Terry Saunders, Cindy Lehtinen, Bob Lehtinen 2023 06-10 OSDA Treasurer Bob Lehtinen, Beach Committee Member Geralyn Schad, OSDA Member Polly Thayer and OSDA President Jay Thayer standing by the sign the OSDA previous made and donated in 2017 commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Old Stone Dock. 2023 06-10 Ed Jackson, Al Leary and Carole Mendoza 2023 06-10 Heather Sullivan, Dean Sullivan 2023 06-10 Scott Puopolo at corner of Walker and Surf Drive 2023 06-10 At the finish line.
