Dock Repairs
We are so excited!! We have been working on repairing docks all year. But a couple just needed replaced. So dock #2, which is the dock closest to the island on the east side now has a brand new dock. We are also putting some new floatation under a floating dock on the south end. Thanks to those who donated to help make this happen. We appreciate our members so much. Happy New Year!

Protect All Your Trailers
With all the theft going on around town, now is the perfect time to protect your trailers. Stop by and check out the trailer locks on display that are for sale at the SBEA Lake store. CW Trailer Coupler Locks is donating the money on the first 2 locks sold to help with dock repairs. Visit their website at https://cwtrailerlocks.com/ and you can order other locks that we do not have in the lake store. These are pretty heavy duty and awesome locks, so don’t forget to come check them out.

4th of July Celebration – Lake Closed on the 4th of July!
The SBEA will not be doing a July 4th Celebration this year. We want to let our members know in advance, so they have time to plan their activities for July 4th, 2023. This was a very tough decision the Board and Staff had to make. After many long discussions they concluded that so many towns, housing districts etc. put on good events that has affected the attendance at our event. Between attendance and cost of the event it was no longer cost effective of the dues our members pay. We are always looking for new ideas and discounts for our members and would love to hear from our members on any suggestions. We are looking into maybe a fall event to do instead of the July 4th. Give us your feedback at steph@beatoday.com
New Gift Card Policy
Notice of Change on Gift Cards – Effective October 1, 2022
While we are glad to bring a service to our members they like, we must also do things in the best interest for SBEA. The gift cards have gotten so big and so many that we must do something to bring the cost in line. Starting October 1, 2022 there will be some changes on how our gift cards are sold.
- There will be a limit on Walmart cards to $100 per deduction, per member as they are very popular and we are limited on how many we get. Hopefully more of our members can have access to these cards.
- We will also limit our ordering to those that sell the best and not carry so many different cards.
- There will also no longer be any special orders or holding on gift cards. First come, first choice of the gift cards available.
As always, we work hard to bring great things for our members while keeping the SBEA growing and secure for the future. Thank you for your understanding.

SBEA Return Check Policy
Due to the amount of returned checks we have received recently, we thought we would give a little reminder of our check policy.
All returned checks will be charged a $35.00 service fee. (Subject to change)
Stopped payments are the same as any returned check, with a $35.00 service charge.
2 returned checks will result in a 1 year suspension of your check-writing privileges.
After the 4th returned check you will be placed on a no more ever list and will not be allowed to write any more checks to SBEA.
Upon appeal, check-writing privileges may be restored at the discretion of the Board.
If you do not pick up your returned check within 15 days your check writing privileges will be suspended for 6 months.
If returned checks are not picked up within 60 days they will be sent to collections.
If a check is sent to collections you will loose all check privileges forever.
If you have an unpaid returned check you will not be allowed to do a payroll deduction. (Unless you want to pick up the returned check on a payroll deduction.)
SBEA will not take any check that does not have your name and address printed on it or any check that does not have a printed number on it higher than 300.
Members may only write one check a day for cash not to exceed $20.00.
If your checks were lost/stolen, or returned in error, check with manager for details.
Did you lose something the last time you visited SBEA? This past year SBEA has acquired quit a bit of lost items and would love to be able to return them to their rightful owners. We just need for the right owner to come in, describe what the item is that is missing. Please see Pat or Jeff and they will be glad to see if the lost items are yours. https://beatoday.com/sbea-lost-found-policy/
