Independance Day fireworks paid for by contributions

Tom Arwood asked the POA board to accept the over $20,000 raised in 29 days to save the fireworks show on Balboa beach on Independence Day.
Arwood and his committee, Jim Zhand, Jeff Hollansworth, John Tidquist, Keith Brown and Donna Aylward, collected contributions from over 200 people and organizations in the short period of time.
The POA board recently eliminated the fireworks display as a budget cost cutting measure. The private contributions guarantee this year’s July 4 event will continue to be a Village tradition.
