Town Manager Search

Capers,

As discussed at our October and November Board and Membership Meetings, we would post the link for the new Town Manager search when available.

We have retained Aerotek again to help with the search and interview process. We hope to cast a wide search like last time, in which Areotek will handle the pre-qualification process, screening and initial rounds of interviews. The hope is Aerotek delivers 3-5 quality candidates by mid January. The Board of Governors would then conduct a final interview process. This hopefully leads to the hiring of the next Town Manager by late January/ early February ideally.

Please do not send resumes directly to the Association Office or our Emails. Please submit directly through the link below. Feel free to share the link with family, friends and colleagues.

We will provide an update at the Annual Meeting on January 10th, as available.

Check out Aerotek here.

The Caper – March 2024 Edition

Every year, I’m always amused at those folks I refer to as the Wint-iners. (Take the word Winter and merge it with Whiners) “Oh it’s so cold!” “All this snow!” In another deflating winter of 2023-2024, we had one real week of winter. Sure, it was cold-ish at times but we do live a good distance from the equator and it is Maryland. Spring will be here before you know it though, tick tock, and this month’s Caper is a harbinger of warmer things to come. The Wint-iners will grow quiet as the heat from Mom Nature growers warmer.

In this month’s Caper, Jerome sounds off about Winter and begins to get us all excited about the spring season to come. He welcomes our new Cape Recognized Organization: Cape Vibes. The group consists of 97% Cape residents of all ages and musical abilities gathering to play music. We’re thrilled to have them. Jerome also mentions a ton of important upcoming Cape dates so be sure to check them out.

Frank Tewey, the Town Manager reminds everyone that TODAY IS THE DAY that the yellow maintenance cards are due. $10 … did you pay yours yet? They are hiring for beach attendants for the 2024 season. Applicants must be 14 years of age or older and be available throughout the summer including weekends and holidays. For more information about this great opportunity, check out this month’s Caper.

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!

The Caper – Dec/Jan – Holiday Hot off the Press Edition

The Holiday Season is upon us. Nothing beats driving into the Cape from Cape St. Claire Road and checking out that lit Christmas tree and guardhouse. NOTHING. Thanks to everyone who came out to light that tree up even through the nasty weather. In Beau’s Presidential message, he thanks all the volunteers who made the tree lighting extra special. Big thanks to Santa and Mrs. Clause for their generous hospitality.

Also in his message, he talks about the upcoming Annual Meeting, being held on Tuesday January 9th, 2024 at the club house. Don’t forget to grab your ballot in this month’s Caper. It’s also budget time so don’t forget to review this fiscal year’s budget. Beau goes into all of the details on what will need to change. Beau also discusses the proposed amendments to the CSCIA Bylaws, that will also need to be voted on. To view these in more detail, check out our website. Also, this will be the last Presidential term for Beau Breeden (at least for now… 😉). As always, Cape St. Claire is indebted to him for all of his efforts throughout the years. Say hi and thank you the next time you see him.
