Former Mayor Al Merion passed away April 21, 2008.  He was 87 years of age.  Mayor Merion, with his wife Estelle, lived for the past few years in a suburb of Philadelphia, PA.  They did so to be near their children.  Mayor Merion was responsible for much of what we enjoy about the Town of Hypoluxo.  As a mentor for me, he will be missed. 

It is now time to prepare for the 2008 hurricane season.  Fresh emergency supplies should be on hand.  Trees should be trimmed before the season begins.  It is important and necessary for branches of trees and shrubs to be trimmed in such a manner that wind will blow through them.  Hurricane season begins June 1. 

The Town of Hypoluxo is reviewing its comprehensive plan.  This is the document that serves as a guideline for future development and growth in Hypoluxo.  There are twelve chapters in our plan.  Three chapters are being discussed at each council meeting.  There will be a public hearing in the fall on the comprehensive plan.  You are encouraged to visit the Town Hall at any time to examine the proposed updated comprehensive plan.

The Town council meets on the third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the Al Merion Council Chamber.  You are encouraged to attend these meetings.

There are two significant holidays in the month of May.  First is Mother’s Day.  Mothers should be remembered.  Where would we be without them?  The second holiday is Memorial Day.  This is a time to remember all the brave men and women who gave their lives since 1775 to protect our great country.  It also is a time to remember all who have served throughout the years in the armed services of the United States.  We are indeed grateful to all of our service men and women. 

Cordially, 

Kenneth M. Schultz

Mayor
