A Letter from the PBA Security Committee

6/20/2025

 
Summer is very busy in our small community. We all love Popponesset and the best part is sharing this wonderful place with family and friends. Lets all work together to have the best possible summer! Please read this letter from the PBA Security Committee:

Greetings Popponesset Friends and Neighbors,
As we prepare for the start of the summer season and the July 4th holiday weekend, please remember that for everyone to enjoy a successful, safe, and peaceful summer we all need to be responsible, considerate, and neighborly.
Our Security Team
Our Post One security team will be on duty this summer wearing white Polo shirts with their Post One logo. Ways you can assist the security team:
  • Be prepared to show your beach flag whenever requested by the guards
  • Adhere to the rules regarding not dropping off individuals at the beach from your vehicle
  • Park exclusively on your own property
  • Call a tow company if an unauthorized vehicle is parked on your property – that is your responsibility, not the Mashpee police. Notify the police if you have called for a tow, as the car operator may contact the MPD to inquire.
  • Obey speed limits
  • CALL 911 if you observe a situation that may require emergency services
  • Follow all PBA Rules & Regulations
Please note: This summer we hope to have enhanced Mashpee Police Department presence with more paid details, directed patrols and ATV Patrols. They will be here to discourage large, unruly crowds and underage drinking. If they see fit, they will tow cars, issue tickets, make arrests, and disperse unruly groups.

Preparing for July 4th
  • Should you observe any type of emergency or dangerous situation call Mashpee Police directly for the fastest available assistance.
  • Call the police whether it’s fighting, trespassing, property destruction, overly loud late-night noise, bonfires, or fireworks. Your calls are followed up on and counted.
  • Consider leaving your front and back yard lights on during nights when trespassers may run through the property
  • Lock your cars and put away all yard items, bikes, etc.
  • Please discourage your group and family members from posting on social media that this is a place to come to party or visit uninvited - Popponesset beaches are private and patrolled by police and security.
  • Instead, please spread the word about our Security measures such as police response, potential ticketing, towing, and, if warranted, possible arrests.
We expect to enjoy a peaceful summer season. Let’s tell our families, friends, and guests to remain polite and civil to our Security team and to MPD officers as they work on our behalf. Our success will depend on everyone’s commitment to considerate neighborly behavior.

Enjoy your summer!
Security Committee, PBA Board of Directors

Donate tax free to Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance

11/5/2024

 
As we near the end of the year many of us are considering making our 2024 tax-preferred donations. You can contribute to research on the water quality and health of our beautiful Popponesset Beaches by supporting the Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance with a tax-deductible donation.

Water quality and the future health of our beaches is a subject of serious concern for all PBA homeowners. Since 2019 Nicole Corbett, a Popponesset local, has performed water quality testing of our ocean waters for the Popponesset Beach Association free-of-charge. She also has been monitoring invasive seaweeds and created the Poppy Jellyfish Sting Kits program. Nicole continues to research the health of our beaches through her non-profit organization Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance.
Message from Nicole Corbett, Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance:
“…For those interested in our work, you can visit the Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance’s website and subscribe to our mailing list at www.poppywater.org. You can also follow the Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance on Facebook (search Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance) and on Instagram @poppywateralliance.”
Recently, Nicole has made it possible for us to make our donations to her research tax deductible. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Popponesset Water Stewardship Alliance to support Nicole's research and contribute to the future health of Popponesset beaches. You can easily contribute by clicking on  this link: DONATE TO POPPONESSET WATER STEWARDSHIP ALLIANCE.
