FUND RAISING: Raising money to support the work which SPB spearheads to maintain and improve the Spit and surrounding waterways, is of the utmost importance. We need people willing to dig in, join our team and assist in raising the funds that we need both for our annual expenses and our future Channel Project.
COMMUNICATIONS: We are in search of someone who would like to assist in communicating with our membership as well as the community. Preparing newsletter emails (using Constant Contact) and articles for the Peninsula Reporter. It is imperative that we stay in touch with our community and keep them informed. No experience with Constant Contact is necessary and training can be provided.
SECURITY: We have formed a committee that is currently working on our security issues that take place on the Spit. We are looking at what has gone wrong in the past and are working on a better plan for the future which we are hoping will be a joint venture with the Town of Mashpee and the surrounding communities.
EDUCATION: After having a tour of the Spit with a leader from Mass Audubon, there has been an interest in providing more educational programing. We are working on putting together a committee to plan and execute this type of events.
GRANT WRITING EXPERTISE: The government offers many grants which SPB may be able to benefit from. Please let us know if you, or you know someone who has, writing experience and can help us secure funding through grants.
NEW SEABURY VILLAGE AMBASSADORS: As an SPB ambassador you would attend your village’s annual meeting and events. Your primary goal will be to liaison between SPB and the community. Meet with other village ambassadors to determine the best way to get the community involved in our mission.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH: We need to reach out to the broader community, not just New Seabury and Popponesset. There are other neighborhoods that use our waterways, as well as boaters who come and use the Spit as a destination. We need to reach out to boat owners and homeowners in Mashpee who have docks to inform them about the work that SPB does and to hopefully get them involved and supportive of our mission. We also want a working relationship with local businesses such as the Marina’s, Rideaway Adventures, Yoga on the Beach and any others that seem relevant.
