Assure
you always get the latest BHP
HOA News! When you sign up with DiLucia at pay.dilucia.com, you opt out
of monthly mailed paper statements, but you will receive an e-mail notice
that your monthly Association fee is due. You will be able to view
your account history on-line, pay you fees on-line, open and read the latest
newsletter, and be able to receive important community notices via e-mail.
In
contrast, the intention of the BHP community newsflash is to send human
interest information related to your neighbors and upcoming activities.
The DiLucia e-mail notifications include information directly related to HOA
business as well as upcoming activities. The current participation of
the DiLucia registration is currently only around 54 homes. While it
is not a requirement that you register with DiLucia, please be advised that
you may be missing out on the latest HOA related news.
Please be
aware that the BHP Newsflash has a planned frequency of no more that twice
per month as this is a volunteered effort. While some information
within the BHP Newsflash and BHP HOA Website may duplicate the information
from DiLucia, please be aware that there is no competition between services.
All efforts being conducted are to assure the community is well-informed.

Sponsor Your
Neighbors and Support the American Heart Association - May 19th on the Ocean
City Boardwalk
Message from Betty and
Jack Sheridan: Hello Blue Heron Pines Friends, once again we are
participating in the 2012 American Heart Association (AHA) Spring Heart
Walk on Saturday May 19th on the Ocean City Boardwalk , which is AHA's
premier fundraising event held in more than 600 communities across the
country. Through the generous donations of our Blue Heron Pines friends,
last year South Jersey set a fund-raising record. We would like to top
that number again this year.
Last year South Jersey set a
record for funds raised during this annual event. Once again, South Jersey
Healthcare Systems will be participating in the walk to raise more than
$12,000, but we would welcome Blue Heron Pine walkers. Registration begins
at 9:00 AM near the Ocean City High School soccer field/track.
We will leave an orange bucket on our front door at 665 Country Club Drive
to collect any donations to the American Heart Association, or "AHA".
Or please mail your donations to Betty at the following address:
Elizabeth A. Sheridan
COO
South Jersey Regional Medical Center
1505 W. Sherman Ave.
Vineland, NJ 08360-6912
In advance, we want to thank all of our BHP neighbors for participating in
this year's AHA campaign!

Community FoodBank of New Jersey’s Beach Ball
Tuesday,
May 22, 2012, 5 PM - 8 PM
Atlantic
City County Club
Last
year the FoodBank of New Jersey’s distributed a record 7.7 million pounds of
food in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Burlington counties. The need is
so great, that in 5 years we have doubled our distribution
in these counties. As a new member of the Board, I was staggered by the
statistics: 1 in 6 Americans are food insecure (with 1 in 4 being children);
the number of children living in poverty in NJ increased 21% over the last 5
years; Wildwood has NJ’s highest percentage of children living in poverty;
and Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland are among NJ’s poorest counties.
Please
join Jack and me at this signature fundraising event
on May 22. For a $100 (or more) donation* per person you will be treated to
tasting-style menus from the area’s finest restaurants (e.g., Tropicana,
Renault Winery, Philips Seafood, Busch’s Seafood, Mama Mia’s, Romanelli’s,
Port of Call, Merion Caters, Atlantic City Country Club, and more), plus
enjoy local entertainment, celebrity bartenders and a topnotch silent
auction. Dress is casual.
This is an important cause that needs everyone’s support. Please note that
all donations, large and small, will help us meet our goal of distributing
another record level of food this year. Hope to see all of our BHP
neighbors there. Please note that a group (table) of 10 is $900. Thank
you.

Alert! Break-ins at BHP
– over the past few months we have seen
two break-ins at B
HP
homes as a result of door keys that were hidden in locations outside the
house by the resident, were later found missing. The third was a forced
entry. It appears based on the police reports that the suspect(s) knew what
they were after in two of the cases and in the other nothing was stolen or
moved. Please be cautious when leaving keys outside your home in locations
you believe are “hidden” and giving others access to your home. Be sure you
are totally confident in the person(s) who you leave the key with or who you
tell where the key is hidden.
