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.

  1. 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.
  2. We will also limit our ordering to those that sell the best and not carry so many different cards.
  3. 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.
