When Vicki Huntington came to speak at the Point Roberts Taxpayers' Association annual general meeting, she came with a plea.

"The Cross Border Coalition to Stop the Towers was an amazing exercise in citizen power," Huntington, Member of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly for South Delta told guests at the July 27 meeting, and she said citizen power is needed for another, larger issue. "This whole area is under threat, big threat right now and we are at a crossroads as citizens. Either we are going to try and protect and save what's left of the migratory bird flyway or we're going to watch it disappear."

Trinity Church summer music camp gave a fun and entertaining performance of "God with a Capital G!," based on the story of Elijah, July 31 on the church lawn.

The Point Roberts Registered Voters Association charity golf tournament has been rescheduled for a to-be-determined date in September. "There are a lot of different reasons for the change, many of them golf course related," said association president Joel Lantz. "It will be a much smaller, more fun-oriented event." 

Last year's tournament raised $13,000 for the Cross Border Coalition to Stop the Towers legal fund. Lantz said they had yet to choose a local charity to benefit from the tournament for this year's event.
