News from
Perdido Key Association Annual Meeting
The 2008 PKA Annual Membership meeting was held on March 1st at Perdido
Bay UMC Community Center. The meeting was well attended and much was
accomplished.
We were pleased to be able to make presentations to a local youth park and
the Perdido Key Station 19 firefighters.
It came to the board’s attention last fall that the maintenance at Perdido
Kids Park is not funded by the county Parks and Recreation Dept.
Volunteers provide the labor and supplies needed to maintain all of the
playground equipment and grounds. PKA has committed to make an annual
contribution to Perdido Kids Park for supplies to keep this lovely park
up. Chris Davis was on hand to report on the Park’s future plans and
accept a donation of $500 from the PKA membership for purchase of
maintenance supplies.
In addition to safeguarding our community against fire, the professional
firefighters at Perdido Key Station 19 also provide water rescue / EMT
services for our beach community. When we asked what we could do to make
their jobs easier and safer they asked for water rescue equipment. The
board of directors was very pleased to be able to present four sets of
professionally rated top

Jet Ski helmets, safety flotation vests and emergency lights to our
firefighters. It was great to have four of the firefighters on hand to
accept the contribution and a rousing round of applause for their hard
work.
Mr. Jim Fournier and his son Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Fournier attended to present
the Gail Fournier Award to the Pensacola News Journal Editorial staff.
Carl Wernike, Opinion Editor, PNJ accepted the award.
The board reported on the association’s activities in the past year,
upcoming events and objectives they have set for 2008. Treasurer Dan
Henderson presented the association’s financial report.
Newly elected board member, Alan Dennis was welcomed and presented to the
membership. Kelly Robertson and Dan Henderson were re-elected to serve a
second term. The floor was then opened for general discussion, questions
and comments.
Thank you to all that attended.
