Fairfield Beach Residents Association
Mission Statement


 


THE FBRA

    The Fairfield Beach Road      Association (FBRA), founded in  1955, was incorporated in 1970 to foster the interests of Fairfield Beach Road residents. The goals of the FBRA as stated in its By-Laws are: to represent and implement the interests and desires of the membership in maintaining and improving Fairfield Beach, Fairfield, Connecticut, and vicinity; to promote cooperation among the owners and renters of property at Fairfield Beach; to represent the common interests of the membership in relation to governmental authorities and generally to provide for the mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment and the improvement of all such persons in connection with residing in the Fairfield beach area.

In 1998 The FBRA amended its by-laws to expand the geographic coverage of the association. The new name became the Fairfield Beach Residents Association and the membership now includes residents who live in the area encompassing the Old Post Road to Beach Road and Reef Road and all of Fairfield Beach Road.

A Letter From the FBRA President 

 Dear FBRA Member,  

Perhaps this past year will be  remembered by the extreme weather events beginning with the record snow fall last year, the late August tropical storm Irene (which hit the shoreline and caused a great deal of damage), and the surprise snow storm in October which spared the Coast only to cause havoc inland.  January 2012 has been by comparison a very mild month and as always we look forward to the warmer weather.  
The most surprising and unexpected work project in the beach area, by the town, was the completion of continuous sidewalks on both sides of Reef Road along with the additional section of sidewalk on Fairfield Beach Road.   You are now able to walk safely on sidewalks from the center of town to the newly renovated Penfield Pavilion.  

As many of you are aware the beach area is used for various activities – one being the annual Fire Fighters Road Race. Last year race director, Steve Lobdell reached out to the FBRA and asked for volunteers for the 5K race.  We were asked to supply 50 volunteers for race day in June.  We were very successful in fulfilling the need and rewarded with a donation to the association.  We have been invited to participate again this year; race day June 23, 2012 and I hope you will consider volunteering to help with this event.  Details will be in the FBRA Newsletter. 
The FBRA Erosion Committee has been hard at work, as you see under “beach news”, looking for ways to both fund and find a method to help save and protect our shoreline.  If you are interested in helping with this important task, please contact Committee Chair, Kathy Strachan. 
The success of the FBRA is contingent upon your membership and your commitment to become involved – I hope that you will.  We continue to address these issues and others including: activities of town government, litter and neighborhood safety.  Your membership dues pay for our litter cleanups, plantings, insurance, newsletter mailings, legal fees and other expenses related to our work on behalf of our Neighborhorhood.

FBRA objectives for 2012:

 

  • Continue to work with Town, State and Federal Authorities to resolve Beach Erosion.
  • Support Police presence and seek continued speeding enforcement.
  • Continue beach and street clean-ups.
  • Initiate a Beautification Committee
  • Continue to work with all Town agencies regarding adherence to Town Ordinances and laws pertinent to the Beach Area.
  • Create fun and beneficial interactive community events

Thanks for your support

Sincerely,  
Paige Herman, President
