FoBI met monthly to ensure our goals were being met and that we continued to educate the public about the island. We were present at many local events, and we presented the history of the island to hundreds of people. We also educated them on how they can get involved. We presented to several historical societies, each Quarter at Rowan College at Burlington County LIFE (Learning is for Everyone), County events, and senior centers. Island clean-ups were ongoing from March through October. Hundreds of people accessed the island and cleaned up significant amounts of debris that continues to be brought in by the tides, as well as the approximate 50,000 pounds of metal debris from the 1978 eviction of the 80+ summer homes that were never moved off the island. We worked with schools to bring students to the island for STEM programming. Princeton University created an iNatural program to help school children to learn about the flora and fauna of the island, and we assisted in getting those students to the island. In addition, we gave many tours to both influencers and the general public as time permitted. We worked closely with the City of Burlington's Mayor and other city leaders to ensure they were kept up to date on all activities being scheduled on the island. We provided transportation for stakeholders to the island, including Doane Academy educators. We are working with the New Jersey DEP to move two large piles of metal debris off the island and recycled. It took hundreds of volunteer hours to move the debris that was created by the City in 1978 when they brought in bulldozers to shove the homes into piles. We estimate the remaining debris to weigh approximately 45,000 pounds. It is our hope to get the debris removed in 2026. 0 X 0 0 Patrick Mulhern President 3 0 0 0 Thomas Wollard VP 0.8 0 0 0 Dawn McCreary Secretary 1 0 0 0 Carol Beaton Treasurer 0.3 0 0 0 Judy A Gauntt Director 2.00 0 0 0 Amy McIlvaine Director 1 0 0 0 Jack Newman Director 1 0 0 0 Erica Shabert Director 0.4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NJ Carol Beaton 328 Radcliffe Street Bristol PA 19007 2152665673 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 1487 4862 7446 2925 2333 19053 4993 5747 1310 12050 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1487 4862 12439 8672 3643 31103 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31103 2 5 2 9 0 0 0 2 0 0 5 2 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 1489 4862 12439 8677 3645 31112 0.99971 0.99969 0.00029 0.00031 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Interest Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Event Registration fees - $55.00; Fundraising Expenses - AffiniPay, Wild Apricot, Bluehost - $2954.99; Insurance - $1286.85; Admin - $279.28; website - $50.00 I have too much to do on my plate between work and this volunteer position.
