The Caper – February 2025
What a cold January. Whew. I say this as someone who frequently complains when there isn’t enough cold and snow. I leave this January pleased at nearly 3 weeks of snow cover and temps, at times, far below freezing. The current temps are Beau shorts weather, shirt optional. Speaking of shirt optional, congratulations to Jerome Zadera for his 2nd term as President of Cape St. Claire Improvement Association. Golf clap. Seriously though, I know how difficult of a job it can be. Let’s give him a resounding round of applause. During the Annual Meeting that took place on January 14th 2025, several recurring board members made it back on, namely Beau Breeden, Mary Lamb, and Joe Angel. Big congrats go to Blake Morris for volunteering to roll the sleeves up and do Cape’s work. An exciting season is ahead and the Board is laying the groundwork.
Frank Tewey, Town Manager, updates us on the new office hours (they are open until 3:30pm now). He also provides a friendly reminder about the YELLOW postcards in the mail. Dues are due March 1st!
It’s quiet season in the Cape; see my first paragraph, but that doesn’t mean that our great Community groups aren’t hard at work. Goshen Farm starts their Java & Jazz, Tea & Tunes on Sunday March 9th. Don’t forget to join them for all the great events and meaningful impact they make to the community. Details inside.
On Tuesday February 4th, the Garden Club will be enjoying a talk titled “A Cutting Garden’s Bounty; Planning for Succession” about creating a series of blooms throughout the season by garden designer Drew Asbury of Hillwood Estate Garden. On Tuesday, March 4th, they will be celebrating their 50th Anniversary with a dinner. More details in this month’s Caper.
Cape Conservations Corps is celebrating 10 years this year! Isn’t that awesome? In this month’s Caper, they announce their Habitat Hero of 2024 – it’s a surprise. Coming up on March 5th, they are having local authors, Ellan Pragar and Dave Jones at the clubhouse. Doors open at 6:30.
What would a February be without the YEAR IN REVIEW. Only in the online version do you get color photos so flip over to page 13 and soak in the memories from the past year.
