LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

THE BOARD

What a difference a year makes! While 2021 was a struggle, with every operational decision being informed by COVID, 2022 was essentially a return to normalcy. We had wonderful weather, a full slate of art and cultural activities, sold out children camps, a return to an in-person House Tour, and so much more.

FELLOW MEMBERS,

As we prepare for the 2023 season, it might be helpful to reflect on what we accomplished in 2022 These projects were funded through various grants and the extreme generosity of the members who contributed to our Annual Appeal:

✔Replaced the roof on the main building; ✔Replaced the floor in the main building; ✔Replaced the doors in the main building; ✔Replaced the windows in the main building; ✔Purchased new playground equipment for our children and grandchildren; and ✔Replaced a main air conditioning unit in the main building.

My priorities for 2023 are little changed from 2022. Despite our success building our membership, we can’t rest on our laurels. Our membership continues to be the lifeblood of the Foundation and we must continue to nurture and grow it. We need to constantly replenish our membership outreach by encouraging young families to become LBIF members. These young families will help sustain the Foundation for the next 20-30 years. So talk to your friends and neighbors. Educate them about all the Foundation has to offer for people of all ages. Bring them to the Foundation to visit. Send them to our new and vastly improved website to see for themselves all we have to offer. I am convinced that if we can engage them at some level, we can persuade them to join us as members.

LBIF BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Similarly, fundraising is critical to the sustainability of the Foundation. Membership dues, tennis and camp revenue contribute to our operating budget, but capital improvements are only possible through the generosity of our members. We sincerely thank those families who have made gifts to the Foundation in addition to their yearly dues and we hope you will continue to keep us in mind during our next Annual Appeal.

As you know, the Foundation has an outstanding tennis facility. But in my view our members deserve more than just wonderful facilities. They deserve an experience that both compliments and supplements those physical facilities. Our new tennis and pickleball pros have designed an array of new offerings to enhance your membership experience.

And now, as we are hopefully turning the page on COVID-19, it’s time to look forward with a renewed sense of hope, optimism and fellowship. In that spirit, I would like to encourage and challenge you all to lean in to help ensure an even brighter future for the Foundation. We can all contribute in some way, whether large or small; financially or in less tangible ways.

The 2023 year marks a very important milestone in our history. This is our 75th anniversary season and we have some wonderful events planned to mark and celebrate the occasion. I encourage every member to contribute whatever they can—whether time, expertise, in-kind or monetary donations—to make this diamond anniversary special.

I am extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish over the past few years. We have returned the Foundation to a stable fiscal footing and I remain confident that we are well positioned to flourish for years to come. Here’s wishing you all a safe and healthy 2023 and the best summer of your lives.

Sincerely, Kevin M. Covert President, LBIF Board of Trustees lbifoundation.org 3

LBIF HISTORY Founded in 1948 by Boris Blai, the LBIF is an outstanding community cultural center. Blai, a student of the sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the founding Dean of Tyler School of Art, Temple University, envisioned a unique facility that would foster individuals, and their talents, while enjoying summertime at the Jersey shore.

Boris Blai was born in 1893 in Rivne, Russia, and received his early training in sculpture and painting at the Kiev and Leningrad Imperial Academies. In 1912 Blai arrived in Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts with Emile-Antoine Bourdelle and Auguste Rodin, later becoming an assistant to the master sculptor, Rodin. Blai also studied bronze casting and portrait painting in Munich. After coming to America, in 1927 Blai secured his first teaching position at the Oak Lane Country Day School in Philadelphia. In 1935 he founded The Tyler School of Art, Temple University’s degree granting art school located in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania where he remained Dean until his retirement in 1960.

The LBIF has continued Blai’s vision by offering thousands of classes, workshops, exhibitions, and educational programs to the community. Since its first season, the LBIF has committed itself to the enhancement of the creative arts and the physical sciences. Though it began as a seasonal operation, the LBIF has grown into a yearround organization providing a place for learning, free expression, new experiences, and the exchange of ideas and understanding. .Celebrating LBIF’s 75th anniversary in 2023, we recognize our past Presidents, who along with their board of trustees, staff, members, volunteers, and supporters have enabled the LBIF to remain the cultural anchor of this region. To mark this milestone, we recognize these Presidents who gave of their time, vision and wisdom to sustain LBIF and its priceless 22-acre campus.

Juror Talk with Kelly Whalen The Design Process Date August 19, 2023, 5:00pm Reception to follow Designers and artist alike are often inspired to create, or problem solve but need a launching point to get moving. We often dig deep into our creative depths or seek out the “thing” that gives us the thrust to get creating. What is this journey that we travel through during our creative development? The Design Process is one method that provides purpose, guidance, and validity in what we design and create. It’s the stepping stone for the novice and the narrative for the professional.

Let’s talk about the Design Process and take this journey together.

From Awe to Action: How Art Helps Animals Date Tuesday, July 11, 7:30pm - 9:00pm Fee $15 Renowned conservation photographer Melissa Groo will touch on her journey into photography, sharing favorite photos from her magazine assignments and personal work over her decade-long career as a professional photographer. She’ll discuss how photos can aid in conservation, how to best gain an audience with birds and other sensitive animals, and how noticing the natural world around us can greatly enrich and enlarge our lives. Hosted by Long Beach Island Foundation, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, Little Egg Foundation, and Osprey Foundation.

Melissa Groo is a wildlife photographer, writer, and conservationist.

She’s passionate about conveying the marvels of the natural world to diverse audiences. She believes that photography can be both fine art and a powerful vehicle for storytelling, and considers herself a “wildlife biographer” as much as a wildlife photographer. By capturing and sharing stories about individual wild animals, she hopes to raise awareness and change minds about not only the extrinsic beauty of animals, but also their intrinsic worth. Melissa’s photographs and articles have been published in numerous magazines including Smithsonian, Audubon, Outdoor Photographer, National Wildlife, National Geographic (online), Living Bird, and Natural History.

THE NATURE TRAIL

Explore the hidden beauty of our property via the Nature Trail.

A short walk on this trail will take you from a small maritime forest to our preserved saltmarsh and eventually Barnegat Bay. Along the meandering trail you will come across a mix of both native and non-native vegetation, which is home to a variety of wildlife. Native trees and shrubs, like red maple, winged sumac and northern bayberry found along the trail play an important role in providing suitable habitat for migratory songbirds to forage and find cover throughout the year. Many disturbed areas along wetland edges become overwhelmed by invasive plants, like phragmites or common reed as you will see along the Nature Trail. Once you descend onto the coastal saltmarsh, you will be immersed in Barnegat Bay, quite literally depending on the tide. If you look around you will see plenty of birds, including black-crowned night-herons, great blue herons, saltmarsh sparrows, and nesting ospreys. If you look closely you will see fiddler crabs in the marsh and schooling baitfish, like banded killifish and mummichog in tidal creeks. Locals say that the island is held together by poison ivy. Please stay on the trail and watch for it along the upland portions. Leave only footprints. Carry in; carry out.
