2022 BHI Community Directory Distribution |
BHA's inaugural 2022 BHI Community Directory is now available. Each BHA member property is entitled to one free copy of the directory, with additional copies available to purchase. Pickup of free member copies is only at the BHA office (111 Lighthouse Wynd). Anyone can purchase directory copies at the BHA office, accompanied by check made payable to "Bald Head Association." Or, you can pay by ACH or credit card on the owner portal, accessible HERE. No cash is accepted. For questions about the owner portal, email denise@baldheadassociation.com.
Due to anticipated high traffic, we ask that you pick up your directory at this schedule, with additional dates added as needed:
- Thursday, March 24, through Friday, March 25, 10:00am-3:00pm
- Thursday, March 31, through Friday, April 1, 10:00am-3:00pm
Copies of the directory will also be available at
Turtle Central (700 Federal Road) and Old Baldy
(101 Lighthouse Wynd), with proceeds benefiting the respective organization.
If you would like to request a mailed directory, email diane@baldheadassociation.com. Mailings will be done once weekly after full payment is received, with an additional shipping/handling fee of $3.38 for one copy. Full directory costs are below.
Here is the directory price list, including tax:
-
BHA member properties — First copy FREE, with additional copies $7.47 each. (Mailed copy $10.85 total.)
-
Bald Head Island property owners/non-BHA members — $10.68 each. (Mailed copy $14.06 total.)
-
Bald Head Island nonprofit organizations — $7.47 each. (Mailed copy $10.85 total.)
-
Bald Head Island businesses and non-BHI property owners — $12.81 each. (Mailed copy $16.19 total.)
In case you missed it, here's a little background. The BHI Conservancy originally created and published a community directory for Bald Head Island for several years. In 2019, BHA and the BHI Conservancy discussed and agreed to pass the directory project to BHA. BHA’s inaugural directory was started completely from scratch. Note that if you were listed in the previous directory published by the BHI Conservancy but did not opt-in to BHA’s inaugural 2022 BHI Community Directory, you may not see your listing. The intention is for the directory to be a helpful resource for property owners, guests, renters and organizations. BHA thanks all property owners and organizations who participated. And BHA thanks all businesses and organizations who supported the directory with advertising.

BHA wants to hear YOUR opinion
about placing a beehive on BHA Common Area
|
|
A request has been made by a BHA member to place a beehive on BHA Common Area. Bees play a critical role in pollenating flowers in trees, vegetables and decorative flowers. A potential site is located near the road leading to the mulch site, away from nearby homes and the golf course. Since the wind spreads insecticide, a hive location needs to be chosen that is farther than a lot depth from the road or golf course, where spraying is done. Click HERE for the full presentation.
Since the request involves Common Area, the BHA Board would like to survey its members for additional thoughts. We ask our members to complete a very brief survey to help inform us of members’ opinions on the matter. The survey runs from today through Tuesday, April 5, at 4:00pm. Click HERE to complete the survey. Thank you for your participation! Stay tuned for survey results and the BHA Board decision. |

Have a Question about Trees and Vegetation? |
|
When in doubt, always ask first to ensure compliance with the Design Guidelines and any sub-association guidelines. BHA is here to help! We've made it easy for members with any questions related to trees and vegetation with a new email address: trees@baldheadassociation.com. Remember, just because it's a dead tree doesn't mean you can cut it down. To read the Design Guidelines document, click HERE.
Note that if you live in a managed drip-line community, your landscaping may be handled by either BHA (for Keeper's Landing, Surfman's Walk and Sumner's Crescent) or your specific neighborhood sub-association. BHA can help point you in the right direction.

Information Regarding Baggage Implementation
and Process Changes
|
|
On February 25, 2022, Bald Head Island Transportation, Inc. (BHIT) provided initial public notification as required by law of a change in checked-baggage policies ordered by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC). The NCUC order becomes effective April 1, 2022. However, please note that well in advance of formal implementation of the new baggage policies and prior to strict enforcement, BHIT will communicate any process changes affecting passengers. During the 2022-2023 timeframe, BHIT anticipates implementing numerous process changes necessary to improve service delivery, increase reliability and enhance the customer experience. BHIT will initially focus on internal processes before expanding to baggage and passenger delivery operations, tram reservation integration and electronic ticketing. BHIT will share all process changes affecting the traveling public well in advance of implementation on BHIT's website at baldheadislandferry.com.
On February 23, 2022, the North Carolina Utility Commission (NCUC) ordered a checked-baggage limit of THREE(3) items per ticketed passenger on the Bald Head Island Ferry. The order also limits the size and weight of checked-baggage to being no larger than a standard 48-quart cooler and weighing no more than 50 pounds. Excess baggage as well as oversized and overweight items may be subject to an additional charge of $23 per item. BHIT will begin implementing this order on April 1, 2022 and through the remainder of the year. Click HERE for the NCUC Order A-41, Sub 20, and the amendment link is HERE.
