PPSIA is an association of Plum Point residents who work together to maintain our private beach and provide facilities for its use and enjoyment.
Every Plum Point resident who owns or rents a house in the neighborhood is encouraged to join the Association. Dues are now $150 a year for residents which includes homeowners and renters. Dues are $175 for an associate memership. Upon joining, a card is issued allowing the member to open the electronic gate at the parking lot entrance.
With money from dues, the Association pays insurance and real estate taxes on the parking lot and pavilion property and has done so since May 23, 1955. In return, members are permitted to park their cars in the lot, launch their boats, and rent the pavilion for parties. The Association also has fundraisers and parties throughout the summer to raise money for improvements to the property. For example, officers organize the concession on the 4th of July. We purchase sand to replace what the winter storms take away, and each year we continue to maintain and improve the pavilion and the property.
You may ask to reserve the pavilion for private events using our calendar request form. The pavilion rental fee is $200 plus a $100 refundable deposit. If you would like to use the commercial grill, with propane included, there is an additional $50 fee. The pavilion rental includes the use of a maximum of seven (7) parking spaces. If you have more guests than seven cars, please have your additional guests park at your home and ferry them to the pavilion. Check the calendar to see if the date you want is available.
All members are free to use the pavilion for non-exclusive use whenever it is not rented for a private event. Please check our calendar to see if the pavilion is available and use the request form to ask to reserve it for a private function.
We rent porta-pottis each year during the summer months. We make sure that there is sand on the beach. Please help us keep it clean. We have a boat launch suitable for small boats.
We have a boat rack for members. You may store a kayak or light boat on our rack from May 1 until Oct. 30. All boats kept on the rack or beach must have a sticker with owner information and be registered with PPSIA. There should be blank stickers available in a bag on the stand.
All boats must be removed from the rack by October 31. Any boat not removed from the rack by October 31 will be removed by PPSIA. You may store your kayak behind our building in the winter when we have no porta-potti there. Please only kayaks and similar light weight boats on the top of the rack. Boats may not be placed on the rack before the end of March.
We have slides and swings for children and these are being updated in 2019. We have a bocci court and horseshoe pits for adults. We have beach loungers and upright beach chairs. We have picnic tables that may be used on the grass and under the pavilion. Please, do not put picnic tables on the beach.
We have plans to once again have a raft in our swimming area this year. We also plan to update our fire pit and we will continue the improvements to the parking lot in 2019.
In doing this, we have a great time! Come to one of our fundraising events and see for yourself! You'll get a nice dinner, great entertainment and most importantly, meet your neighbors and make new friends. All residents are welcome to join, so please join us; you'll be glad you did!
