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.
The Caper – September 2020 Edition
Larry Hogan announced yesterday that Maryland will be in Phase 3 of COVID recovery on Friday. That’s good news. Some would argue that’s too fast and others would say it’s too slow. No debate on that here. It’s nice to see us climbing out of the COVID doldrums and trying to find out sense of what normal used to be. Events around the Cape still continue to be cancelled. We hope to have something in October but perhaps that’s simply wishful thinking. Maybe we can light the Cape tree in December. Maybe Santa can come for a visit…? I’m skeptical but am hopeful.
We’ve received most of the required permits to get started on the beach project(s). Now, we have to wait for the contractor(s). Due to the project’s delays, we won’t be able to start in 2020 but we’re on target to start (and complete!) work on both projects at the same time in the spring of 2021. We absolutely cannot wait for that, It’s been a long road to get to this point. Thanks to all board members for their hard work this year and in previous years to get us to where we are today.
Bill’s Presidential message is the standard stuff from that stiff … say that 5 times fast. Ryan’s town manager message talks about the ways you can get your lawn ready for the fall. He also reminds everyone about the Quarterly meeting, scheduled for October 27th 2020. Cape Cleanup is scheduled for September 18th and 19th. This Caper has more information about that. Cape Conservation Corps is hosting their fall plant sale on Saturday September 26th from 9am until noon at the field behind the clubhouse. They will be practicing safe social distancing. The Garden Club is hosting their annual Seed and Cutting Exchange on Tuesday, October 6th, 5-6pm. They will practice social distancing, in the parking corral behind the Clubhouse.
Please don’t miss out on the tribute to Josephine Gardner. A long time Cape board member, she was a tremendous influence and hard worker for this community for so many years. She will be missed. Don’t miss the beautiful tributes by many Cape St. Claire board members and residents.
We hope you enjoy this issue of the Caper. It’s a smaller issue. Interested in making a contribution to the Caper with an article? Email [email protected]. We’d be happy to have you help out.

The Caper – July/August Edition
Summer has most definitely arrived. Temperatures have been soaring in the 90’s pretty regularly and that means people have been out and about. With that comes mask wearing and keeping a safe distance from others. Staying safe and staying cool has certainly been challenging in a year full of challenges.
Sadly, as the summer months continue, there’s nothing but uncertainty about all of the Cape events. So many cancellations. The Strawberry festival is still on a postponed status. We are hoping to be able to have a Strawberry Festival Fall theme this year. Please stay tuned for more details on that.
The clubhouse will be reopening to 50% capacity starting August 1st. There will also be a $100 COVID cleaning fee which is necessary to offset the costs associated with cleaning the clubhouse between every event. More details can be learned by emailing [email protected].
We will be hosting the Quarterly Meeting on July 28th at 7:30pm. It will be remote using GoToMeeting. There will be no votes taken and will simply be informational to catch everyone up on what’s been taking place since we last met back in January. We will be posting to Facebook and this website once we have the links and information ready.
This Caper is not the normal one. It’s normally stuffed full of color photos and information about the fall season which will be here before you know it. The President’s message gives some information on the Beach Project. Come to the quarterly meeting in 2 weeks for more on that. In this Caper, Ryan talks about being respectful to the beach attendants and talks about the rules for using our beaches. To stay up to date on the latest events taking place, please visit our website and our community organizations: https://capeconservationcorps.org or https://goshenfarm.org/ or https://capegardenclub.wordpress.com.
See you around the Cape!
