Congratulations to Judy Kirkpatrick who was elected to the Newport POA Board during the Annual Meeting on August 24th. Thank you for your service!
Newport Flag Program:
The flag program is up and running! This allows Newport an opportunity to show their pride and patriotism by displaying the American Flag in front of our homes and property on 5 holidays per year (Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day).
The flag program is also a way for Newport to support local charities. This year Newport made donations of $2,048.59 to three separate charities: Tranquility Point, the Pathway House, and to the Humane Society. Many thanks to all who contributed!
