For just $10 you can have your name (or any name you want) etched onto the Elberta Beach boardwalk or on a picnic table in the Marina/Penfold park for, well, not eternity, but a bunch of whiles! Go here.

This also just in: a fundraiser to establish a permanent, well demarcated road on Elberta Beach, contiguous with the platted road known as Lakeside Boulevard, has been set up with a PayPal button and everything. Proceeds will go toward road construction and signage. The Village leadership hopes the official road and signage will discourage offroading on the beach, an activity which is actually against federal and state law anyway, but has been hard to enforce due to lack of manpower. Donate here.
