MESSAge From ECA PRESIDENT
Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. In 2018, we expanded our membership area and had a record breaking 644 members join/renew their ECA memberships. We kept you informed about important information that affected our community. Under Bumper Moyer's leadership, ECA started the Neat Streets program. Volunteers came out on a weekly basis to sweep streets, pull weeds and paint curbs. Our community looks better for everyone's hard work. We also celebrated a successful Home and Garden Tour. We had a birthday cake in honor of Eastport's 150th birthday at the annual picnic in August. We look forward to 2019.
