To Our Membership:

I'm sure that most of you are aware by now that our access to the prime fishing areas at Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area are threatened by the Audubon Society, the Defenders of Wildlife's and the US Fish and Wildlife Service lawsuit. To date, this litigation has cost the organizations defending beach access over $300,000 in legal fees with no end in sight.

As your President, I have committed the resources of our Association to 'Support Recreational ORV Access' to our beaches. Without access there is no NCBBA!

For the reasons stated ... I ask you to become a greater partner in funding our defense of the legal issues facing our Association. NCBBA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is "eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Section 170 (c) of the IRS Code of 1986" (Section 170 IRS Code) which may have a significant impact on your decisions.
