Annual Membership Letter
2026
(a print version of this letter was delivered to all households in March)

Dear Wardour neighbors,

Happy almost spring! This is your annual invitation to join or renew your membership in the Wardour Improvement Association for 2026. Our dues are the neighborhood’s only source of funding for upkeep of community beaches and green spaces, repair of the wooden footbridge, social events, and payment of insurance and taxes. Member households can vote at annual meetings on how we use our properties and our funds. Special projects completed in 2025 include new kayak racks and picnic tables, refurbishing the sign in Wardour Circle, and new signs and gates for Wardour Beach and the railroad right of way.

Membership dues remain $350 per household.

Reserved kayak rack spaces remain $25 annually. You may pay for just one spot if it can fit two kayaks or paddle boards. Racks are available at Crescent, Essex, and Gudger Beaches. After you have paid, Chris Carpita ( carpita@yahoo.com ) will contact you to confirm your reservation.

Whether you are joining the WIA this year or not, please make sure we have your current contact information (name, address, email, phone #) so that we can include you in the directory and the neighborhood email list. Email is the primary way we inform neighbors about WIA membership meetings, volunteer opportunities, gatherings, decisions facing the community, and news or alerts.
