The Caper – September 2024 Edition

Ahhh, the season is changing. Pumpkin Spice Lattes have returned to Starbucks. The stores have popped way open with fall displays. Soon, the temps will cool…. the leaves will change…

Jerome, in his Presidential message, talks about the seasons changing. The first sign that they are is Back to School which started today. As we send our kiddos off for another year, it’s a good time to remind ourselves that we only borrow our kids for a short time. Don’t take that send off for granted. Jerome hopes that every school year is filled with exciting new opportunities, growth and learning, and community support. It’s a great message, so don’t miss it.

Frank Tewey, the Town Manager, thanks the Beach Ambassadors for another great season as well as the residents for their cooperation. It was another great year. He also provides great tips on getting that yard work done. Time for cleanup is coming soon!
