FOBI accomplishments for 2022 With the assistance of our regular volunteer work crew and various other volunteers including Burlington City representatives maintained 4.5 miles of trails. Presented to City Council our Strategic Vision Statement, a list of assistance that FOBI provided to the Board of Island Managers (BOIM) and the City of Burlington since our inception, a plan for Youth Educational Programs for the 2023 season, and a map of the 4.5 miles of safety trails and amenities. Two-day educational program named, "Where does Trash in the Streets of a Rivertown Go? Children from both Bristol, PA and Burlington, NJ learned how to kayak, paddleboard, and water safety. After the on-water instruction, they received beverages and watermelon while listening to lectures on tides, currents, riptides, and how to make a Float Plan. The second day of the event, The Island Adventure! The youth and guides debarked and paddled to the island. Once on the island, the kids hiked to the lake and on the way we discovered a turtle nursery and encountered a garden snake, American Bald Eagle, and deer. The kids did a cleanup of trash and installed a FOBI "Leave No Trace, Carry in Carry Out" sign and helped load up the last remaining trashcans on the Island. They learned some history of the island and with lifejackets on enjoyed a refreshing dip in the river at slack tide! Installed 60 numbered GPS marker signs on new trails. 10 aluminum FOBI "Leave No Trace, Carry in Carry out" signs replaced many trash cans and were installed throughout popular island locations. Complete the safety trail map. FOBI presented 15 lectures to different social groups on the History of Burlington Island, present-day threats to the island, present use, and future vision. 0 770 770 Judy A Gauntt President 5 0 0 0 Don McCloskey Vice President 2 0 0 0 Dawn McCreary Secretary 2 0 0 0 Carol Beaton Treasurer 0.5 0 0 0 Erica Shabert Director 0.5 0 0 0 Amy McIlvaine Director 2 0 0 0 Patrick Mulhern Director 4.5 0 0 0 Craig Greenwood Director 0.25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 PA Carol Beaton 328 Radcliffe Street Bristol PA 19007 2152665673 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 708 1832 1487 4862 8889 0 708 1832 1487 4862 8889 8889 2 2 4 0 0 2 2 0 4 0 708 1834 1489 4862 8893 0.99955 0.99901 0.00045 0.00099 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 display equipment, domaine name, membership, registration, annual report, website, insurance, spirit wear, program costs Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Interest and rounding We are a very small organization and I am the Treasurer and the only person familiar with the books which are in my possession and sit on my personal laptop.
