Some current NCBBA activities, opportunities and MUST Do’s……..

On June 11, 2008, members of the NC Congressional Delegation, introduced bills (HR 6233 & S 3113) to set aside the recently
enacted consent decree that has virtually eliminated your access to Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area.
The bills will set aside the consent decree and resume resource management as developed by NPS & USFWS -“The Interim Plan”.
To contact your US Senators and US Representatives use the link posted below for quick access.
The link will send the letters to all of them at the same time no matter which state in which you reside.

This is an election year: tell them where you live, so they know that you vote in their district. Ask them to Co-Sponsor
and support HR 6233 & S 3113 that are so important to eastern NC and the whole state that relies on the tourist dollars
that flow from this region to the rest of the state. Thank them for their help.
July 19, 2008: Director Carol Mowers will host a NCBBA Welcome Booth at the Border Station Restaurant and Store from
8am to 4pm. The Border Station is located south of Great Bridge, VA on Rt. 168 at the VA/NC state line. Carol will have the
latest information on Beach Access at Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area, New Member packets, and will
accept donations for the NCBBA Legal Fund. Please join Carol and the other directors on Saturday at the Border Station.
Look for me…….I’m the one with the aerodynamic haircut!!

NCBBA and OBPA purchased 30 second “Cape Hatteras Get Involved” infomercials which will air on CNN, FOX NC,
the Weather Channel, and ESPN through Charter Communications on the Outer Banks. Approximately 48,000 homes
and 4+ Million visitors and residents in Dare County and surrounding areas will receive our message. The NCBBA and
OBPA websites will appear at the end of the infomercial on the TV broadcast. They began June 7, 2008 and will end in
early September. The infomercials were produced by Rob Alderman of the Fish Militia at no charge to NCBBA or OBPA.
It is now posted on You Tube at the address above. Thanks Rob! President@NCBBA.org
NCBBA proudly welcomes 70+ new members in the month of June. The largest group of new members in many months.

Our LEGAL FUND has received quite a few personal and business donations over the last month and we are off to a good start. Be
clear that these donations will ONLY be used for NCBBA legal expenses in the fight for open beach access. Take advantage of our
non-profit 501 c3 status when making donations. Your donations are tax deductible…..and support open beach access….a winning
combination. If you need more information on legal fund issues please contact Mike.Metzgar@NCBBA.Org or any other
