The Caper – December – January 2021 Edition
Well, we’ve made it… to the end… of the year referred to as 2020. It’s been a real piece of work. In this month’s Caper, Bill’s Presidential message is a bit reflective as his 2 one year terms are officially coming to an end. He talks about the Cape’s legacy as he leaves office. More information on the upcoming Beach project(s) are contained in this message as well. Ryan, in his town manager message, shares his holiday safety tips. He also reminds us of the upcoming Annual Membership meeting on January 12th at 7:30pm. More details on this meeting will be coming soon.
Speaking of the Annual Meeting, this Caper does include the ballot as well as the bios for the incumbent board members as well as one new one. All ballots must be received no later than Wednesday January 6th to be counted. We will count every legal ballot and can guarantee the legitimacy of this election. In addition, we’re asking for a $25 increase in the SCBD cap, we are not increasing the SCBD fee this year.
Thanks to everyone who attended the virtual Tree Lighting this year. I hope you’ve had the time to swing by the tree and put up whatever ribbon or decoration you’d like to see up there. Please note that any decoration you add to the tree will NOT be returned after the Holiday season.
Goshen, Cape Conservation Corps, and the Garden Club provide great articles, there’s an awesome holiday word search and we’ve even included the history of the candy cane in this issue.
See you around the Cape!
The Caper – November 2020 Edition
Fall has settled over Cape St. Claire. It was a GREAT Halloween Saturday night, it was truly great to see so many Capers having a safe and fun time. So many tables setup and the conveniently placed beer tubes were a real treat! Yes, things are different but does that mean it has to be bad? If Halloween was proof that change can be a good thing, I’m excited for the holidays. The new Caper has landed in everyone’s laps. The President’s message talks about trying to keep your mental health at the forefront of your minds… as the temperatures get colder, it’s important to look out of you, especially during these times. Don’t forget that the Yearly meeting will be taking place virtually on January 12th at 7:30pm; more details to follow.
Ryan, the town manager, discusses the train wreck that has been 2020 and delivers a great yearly review. He does mention that electricity will be installed at the guest shack in time for the Christmas Tree lighting. He also reminds us that we’ll be voting on the budget in the January meeting.
This Caper does contain the budget that will be voted on at the upcoming yearly meeting. Please review and email us with any questions. The Garden Club’s next meeting will be held at Bay Head Park Pavilion on Sunday, November 29th at 3-5pm. More details on this are in this Caper. Goshen Farms highlights Becky Benner in their article this month as well as a reminder that they could sure use your donations. Information on how to do so is in this Caper. Cape Conservation has a great article by Stacey Wildberger that highlights their 2020 so don’t miss it.
We will be having the Christmas Tree Lighting on November 29th.. more details to come! Stay safe everyone and see you around the Cape.

The Caper – October 2020 Edition
I’ve run out of words to describe 2020. There’s truly never been anything like it … at least in my lifetime. I wanted to chat about the amazing fall events coming up. Can’t. I want to hype up what’s on the horizon for our Holiday events. Can’t. I’d love to talk about back to school and how much the parents have needed that after a long summer. Can’t. Can’t. Can’t. I’m going to add a facepalm emoji here… 🤦♂️.
Bill’s Presidential message is more of the same. He does bring more clarity to the pier situation. If you haven’t read about that yet, jump into this month’s newest Caper. The beach project(s) will begin in full force by the spring of 2021. Both site 1 and site 2 projects will be done concurrently. It’s going to be a great time to be a Caper. Ryan discusses some changes to how the county will be picking up the falling leaves this year. I won’t spoil that news to you here. Our quarterly meeting is scheduled for October 27th at 7:30pm. We hope to have a more viable option to host it this time around. Also, don’t forget, Sunday November 1st at 2:00am, the clocks fall on back an hour.
With all things COVID, Halloween Happenings will be different this year. They will be doing a “Guess the weight of the pumpkin” contest outside of the clubhouse. In addition, they will be driving Charlie Brown and the Great Halloween Pumpkin throughout the community. More information can be found on their Facebook page as well as this month’s Caper!
Goshen Farm needs your help! This year has been a tough one for fundraising and so they could sure use your help. See information in this month’s Caper for information on how you can contribute to this great historical landmark.
Congratulations to Louise Zeitlin for being the Cape Conservation Corp’s 3rd quarter Habitat Hero winner. See the great write-up in this month’s Caper.
Leaves are changing… temps are getting cooler… but we still need those masks. Stay safe Capers.
