The Caper February 2024 Edition

It’s that time of year again where everyone gets sick, we don’t want to go outside for fear that we’ll get frostbite and where some of our neighbors still won’t take their Christmas decorations down. Still, we know that deep down… spring isn’t too far away. In this month’s Caper, we’ve got a changing of the guard. Beau Breeden, the Cape’s mayor in name only, President extraordinaire has taken a backseat to Jerome Zadera (former Mr. Moneybags). Congratulations to him for taking on the challenging role of President. In his first President’s Perspective, he thanks previous President’s (including yours truly), the current board members and Frank Tewey, Leslie Coble, and Dottie Ballard. He also gives us a sweet, tear filled biography. It’s a must read. Teamwork does indeed make the dream work.

Frank Tewey, in this Town Manager message, also congratulates Jerome on becoming President and welcomes the newest board member, Adam Harris. He also provides a friendly reminder on the annual maintenance fee renewal postcards you’ve received. Fees are due by March 1st!
