To all members of Surf Pines Association: We (Community Relations Committee CRC) have spoken to Camp Kawanalong about events for 2020. No events are scheduled now. However they may decide to open the camp later with requirements. We will contact them again in August. Given that our Octoberfest food is provided by the CRC, and there may be limits to guest numbers. We wanted to ask our members about having it, or cancelling. Our other question is if our members would feel comfortable sharing space and food with a large group? So please share your thoughts on our social media sites or e-mail Katie Weber, who is coordinating what the membership would like.…

There also are several people who have expressed interest in joining in. The plan…

Got this from a couple of long term SP members and good to know.  Do Daffodils Make You Smile?

Surf Pines was originally a Daffodils farm started by Barney Lucas. They planted thousands of flowers along with Scotch Broom and Coastal Pines.
