MANAGER’S MESSAGE
Welcome July!
Full on Summer has begun here on the Crystal Coast. Schools are out, families from all over the country make their way to our beaches for fun in the sun. Long, sunny, warm days to enjoy the Crystal Coast with its miles of sandy beaches, sounds, rivers, lakes and creeks, perfect for every water activity or no activity at all besides relaxation. Enjoy every minute you can in this special paradise we call home.
This year we celebrate our 249th birthday as a nation, free from British rule. Activities abound all around us to celebrate the USA.
Swansboro will celebrate Independence Day with live music and fireworks on July 3, from 6-10 pm in Old Town Square. This event is free.
Beaufort and Pine Knoll Shores will celebrate with their respective Independence Day parades.
Both parades will be held on the 4th. Please see the town website for details.
Morehead City will sponsor fireworks on the downtown waterfront from 9-10 pm on July 4.
Beaufort will follow up on July 5th with their firework display.
Here at Bogue Sound, we encourage families and friends to celebrate the holiday in their own unique ways. No community activities are planned for this year.
Please remember no fireworks of any kind are allowed on the resort property or the adjacent field which is private property. No bonfires or wood fueled fire pits are allowed.
Have a great month, we look forward to seeing you around the community! Have a great day!

SCAM ALERTS
Never provide your personal information or bank account information to someone you don’t know or to anyone that calls you on the phone. The scammer pretends to be a friend or family member in an emergency and asks you to send money right away and not tell anyone. Immediately Hang up and call them on a number you know is theirs.
Scammers also initiate contact by displaying fake error messages on websites you visit, possibly displaying support numbers and enticing you to call. Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers use scary tactics to trick you into unnecessary technical support services to supposedly fix your device or software problems that don’t exist. At best, the scammers are trying to get you to pay them to fix a nonexistent problem with your device or software. At worst their trying to steal your personal information; and if you allow them to remote into your computer to perform this “fix “they will often install malware, ransomware or other unwanted programs that can steal your information or damage your data or device.
Please be very cautious with any and all calls you receive, especially this time of year!
