Earlier this week, Sea Isle City’s Shooting Stars basketball program for special needs youngsters concluded another successful season. In addition to being organized by the Recreation Office, hosted by a small army of volunteers, and sponsored by local businesses and several kind-hearted families, those who participated in this year’s Shooting Stars clinics also received an amazing amount of support from several local civic clubs and organizations – including VFW Post 1963, the Women’s Civic Club, the Italian American Club, the Chamber of Commerce & Revitalization, and our Beach Patrol.

However, City Council is happy to acknowledge that the summer of 2024 is going very well, and we are extremely grateful to all of the people who are making this a successful season – including our municipal employees, local merchants, property owners and visitors.
Even though it is turning out to be a wonderful summer, we respectfully remind everyone to make “safety” a top priority as you enjoy the month of August...

TERRAPIN TURTLE UPDATE
A Message From
Sea Isle Terrapin Rescue
The 2024 Diamondback Terrapin nesting season is over! If you have a “Watch for Turtles” sign, you can take it down and store it for next year. The eggs hatch after 8-12 weeks BUT there are reports of early hatching with the warm weather we’ve had this summer. Now we wait for the babies to emerge! If you have a cage in your yard, start looking for tiny turtles and let us know. Hatchlings should be hidden under the tall grasses at the edge of the marsh, NEVER IN THE WATER! Releasing the quarter-sized babies at dusk also helps them keep away from predators.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR CARING!
We appreciate your kindness!
From:
Susan and Steve Ahern, of Sea Isle Terrapin Rescue
