Letter from the President

It is wonderful to see so many of our friends returning from around the county! As you first enter Duck Key I hope you are as thrilled as I about the finished bridge, roadwork and overall state of the island. To complement these improvements we have trimmed and mulched all the trees in the right of way. We are also preparing to remove the broken and outdated wooden road signs.

Mark your calendars for Saturday December 7th from 9 - 11 am. We will be having an island wide cleanup. We invite everyone to join in to pick up debris from along the roadsides. Please meet us at Club Duck Key at 9 am for assignments.

To further enhance the beauty of our island, we ask that you kindly remove your garbage cans from the roadside as soon as they are empty. In addition, we request that you not place cans filled with debris at the curb for extended time frames. Neighbors and yard maintenance workers are generally happy to help with this request if you are not home at the time.

The canals are narrowing due to extensive brush that is growing and encroaching on the space to navigate boats. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to trim the vegetation that is growing over the canals, not the county.

Likewise, our canals are becoming very shallow. We are currently working on the formation of a committee to investigate funding and permitting for canal dredging.

I hope you have a wonderful holidays with friends and family. We have much to be thankful for!!! I look forward to seeing you in the near future....Dave.

Sincerely,
Dave Williamson
DKPOA President
