Roton Point History Day a huge success! More than 200 people
enjoyed the film presentation alone and many more enjoyed their
walk through Roton Point's proud history between the three
screenings.
The type of participation we enjoyed from Club members and
their guests this History Day makes the efforts of so many
people so very rewarding. Thank you Roton Point!"

Guest Policy
On Saturday, July 4th
(Fireworks Night), full unit owners will be limited to four
guests per unit, half unit owners are limited to two guests per
unit. You must be on the premises when your guests arrive.
Due to traffic concerns at
the gate, Operations is requesting that guests be
pre-registered. You may call in your guest names to the Gate
(203-838-1606, ext. 11) in advance. You will still need to sign
your charge ticket when you arrive.
Helpful Tip: Limit the
number of cars you bring in, and use local Rowayton parking lots
for extra cars.
Grove Tables
On Saturday, July 4th, members may line up at the
Gate for Grove table reservations (gate opens at 7:00 AM;
earlier if the line reaches out onto Pine Point Road). Members
will be allowed to reserve one table per unit, and you can
reserve for your unit only – you cannot reserve for someone
else. When the Gate opens, proceed, in line, to the base of the
Grove, where you will be given a card with your name and unit
number. You may then proceed to the Grove to hunt down and “tag”
ONE table only and then exit the Grove right away. Because
others are waiting behind you, you may not unload your car at
this time. Please park your car in the lot and unload on foot,
or wait until the line has cleared to drive through again to
unload. The card you “tag” your table with is for THAT day only.
Please be advised that there really is no need to line up so
early, the club rents tables so there are enough tables for
everyone.
Traffic Rules for
Fireworks Night
The Rowayton Civic
Association sponsors the fireworks display with the assistance
and cooperation of local residents, including Roton Point. The
success of this event each year will ensure its continuation
and, therefore, your cooperation with the traffic rules is
extremely important. Relax, plan ahead, arrive early, and enjoy
the best fireworks display on the Sound. The big show starts
around 9:15 PM. Please take extra care to get to the club on
time. The gate closes to all vehicles at 8:00 PM (or earlier, if
the parking lot fills up before that).
Walk-in traffic will be
allowed until 8:30 PM. Once the gate closes (at 8:00 PM or due
to a full lot) police will direct traffic to the parking lots at
Rowayton Elementary School. Illegally parked cars will be towed
to the Rowayton Community Center where they can be retrieved
until 11:00 PM. (Let’s try to keep Roton Point cars from this
fate!) Also, to do our part for easing traffic congestion, after
the show is over no one (including walk-ins) will be permitted
to exit the Club until 30 minutes after the grand finale
(approximately 10:30 PM). Please follow the direction of the
Police and Fire Departments for a safe and orderly departure.
Fireworks Rain Date is
Sunday, July 5th
Please remember! No personal fireworks, firecrackers,
sparklers, etc., are ever allowed at Roton Point.
Reminder!
The boats along the seawall are privately owned and are not
to be used as fireworks seating or general play without
permission. Please respect the property of others. Thank you.
