Dear Giants Neck Beach neighbors and friends:

There have been several reports of spam emails being sent to in Page Heslin's name as President of the GNBA.  The subject of the email was The Giants Neck Beach Association.  The content of the email states that she is looking for gift cards for COVID-19 relief.

This email is a scam and should be ignored. Because we haven't gotten to the bottom of this issue, including which email address this scam is originating from, please feel free to forward any suspicious emails to website.gnba@gmail.com, so we continue to investigate.  Otherwise, please ignore and change your email's password if it makes you feel more secure.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Pattagansett Women's Club is hosting a pop-up sale of GNBA logo gear on:

SATURDAY, August 15, 2020

9:00 am - 11:00 am

at THE CLUBHOUSE

Items on hand are long-sleeve adult t-shirts, women's tank tops, youth short-sleeve t-shirts, note cards, and coasters.

Additionally, the PWC is taking orders for 1/4 zip sweatshirts and hats with the logo embroidered on them and, new this year, crew neck sweatshirts with GIANTS NECK printed on the front. Orders placed and paid for before August 20th will be delivered before Labor Day. We will have sweatshirts and hat samples so members can see the color, size and quality. To place your order, fill out the form, here. 

In addition, the PWC has been supporting the Covenant Shelter in New London (a family shelter). The director asked for donations of disposable masks but understands that this will be a difficult item for us to get.  She also requested paper goods again (plates, cups, napkins, paper towels, etc.). If members would like to donate, you can bring items to the pop-up sale this Saturday, or drop them at Robin Knowles' house, 8 Griswold Rd.

Please wear a mask and try to maintain 6' distance from your neighbors. Cash and checks (payable to PWC) will be accepted. 

Thank you,
The PWC Board
