2026 APSTA Kicks off a New Year
From lively conversations at our January General Membership Meeting to the informative and engaging presentation on the Crooked River Lighthouse, the special APSTA Spotlight Award presented to Robin Arnett, and the APSTA Brunch and Community Meet-Up, the year has kicked off with the spirit, connection, and pride that make our neighborhood such a special place. If you’re not yet a member, we’d love for you to join us and be part of these events and the sense of community that makes them so special. |

From the President
Dear Members,
January was a very exciting month on the Point! At our January monthly meeting, we updated, passed, and adopted the new By-laws. We had a great presentation from the Crooked River Lighthouse, the first in our lighthouse series, and on January 11th, we gathered for a brunch at Angelo’s at 12:30 PM. We were so excited to have several new members join us. Our community is growing, and we are always looking for new members to become active participants.
January also saw the completion of the NEW LITTLE LENDING LIBRARY. The new library is located in front of the Water Department. It is now FULLY stocked, and we also have a section now for puzzles and children's books, of which we still need donations. Please come and take a book when you bring a book. Please only bring books in good condition. All of the money and labor for this project were donated! Thank you, everyone!!!
In February, we will continue the Lighthouse series with a presentation from St. George Island Lighthouse at our general meeting on February 14th at 10 AM.
Our Franklin County Commissioner, Cheryl Sanders, will be in attendance and on the agenda after our guest speaker. She will be available after the meeting to answer any questions or address any concerns.
I look forward to seeing everyone this month.
