RE:  2013 Season

 

Hello All:

 

The Beach Club (BC) and the Friends of Phillips Beach (FPB) have come to agreement on the parking lot arrangement for 2013.  The price will be the same as last year - $65, and we will allow one sticker per family.  Keep in mind, the parking stickers are limited to a total of 85 and will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning May 18 at the end of the BeachClean-up.

 

FPB and BC have instituted a list of Rules and Regulations that all members must agree to abide to.  These are on Part 2 of this attachment and we ask that you acknowledge receipt and understanding by having all drivers of the vehicle sign the agreement.

 

In order to secure a sticker you must be a current Swampscott resident.  Please fill out the below form and the Part 2 form and bring it along with your check for $65, a copy of your MA Registration to the Beach Clean-up on May 18 (Rain date May 19).  Please keep in mind, no stickers will be given without these four items.  If you are not able to attend the Clean-up and there are stickers remaining you must send all material with a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
