Caper – March 2020 Edition
With only two days left in February, we are that close to marking an occasion not seen since the late 1800’s; not one flake of traceable snow has fallen at BWI in the month of February. Seems crazy right? As we get closer to March, we get closer to Spring and that brings all of the wonderful Cape events back.
Bill, in his message, mentions the upcoming Java & Jazz/Tea tunes put on by Goshen Farm on March 8th at 3pm-5pm at the clubhouse. Cape Conservation Corps will be hosting a guest speaker, Chris Pax, on April 17th at 7pm, also at the clubhouse. Bill also gives some fascinating Cape History so don’t miss it.
In Ryan’s message he mentions that maintenance fee renewals are due by March 1st; that’s only 2 days away, so if you haven’t paid them, get on down to the clubhouse! He also mentions the upcoming Quarterly Membership meeting being held on Tuesday April 21st at 7:30pm. Please note that this is a week earlier than normal due to a primary election.
The beach restoration project is coming really really soon. We’ll make major announcements as we get ready to break ground. With the major project we have in store, it will be an exciting year to be a Cape resident.
This Cape issue also contains important information about the Coronavirus and what you can do to help prevent it.
Information about the Easter Bunny coming to town and how to sign up is in the issue, so please check it out! The event is due to take place on Saturday April 4th at 11:15am.
See you around the Cape!
The Caper – February 2020 Edition
A new year has begun! I’m sure many New Year’s resolutions have already been broken but for those who have stuck with them, big props to you. Bill’s message in this Caper talks about changes to the Cape and hopes for 2020.
The Shoreline Project is full steam ahead with plans on it starting in April. We cleared a major hurdle with getting the proper permission from the County to get a loan to finish the funding that we require.
Even though CSC has been snow-less this winter, Ryan, our Town Manager, gives great snow removal tips and tips for keeping your pipes from freezing for when mother nature finally decides to make it cold and give us snow.
It’s that time of year where most of the community organizations meet to prepare for the Spring and summer. Goshen Farm kicks off their 2020 schedule on March 8th with Java & Jazz/Tea and Tunes.

The Caper – November 2019
Fall is in full swing here now. If you hung around the shopping center yesterday between 5:30 and 6:30, you know exactly what I mean. The kid’s excitement from all of the candy is how the Cape kicks off Halloween. Looks like mother nature will cooperate and give Halloween Happenings, which is due to take place this Saturday, a chance to go off without a hitch.
The new Caper is full of what you would expect for the end of October. Bill’s message talks about the tragedy that recently struck the Cape and how we can help cope with it. Ryan, the town manager, talks about leaf litter and how it poses a threat to our water quality. His message this month is not to be missed. In upcoming events, as I’ve already said, Halloween Happenings is due to take place this Saturday from 10am to 3pm. CCC is holding their 5th annual Harvest Bash next Friday, November 1st. Tickets are still $25 but will go up at the door.

See you around the Cape!
The Caper – October 2019
It certainly doesn’t feel like it but fall has officially arrived. Cool weather is coming but summer is hanging on for dear life. Bill’s message in this Caper talks about things to come with this wonderful season. He also gives an update on the entrance sign on Cape St. Claire Road which I’m sure will dazzle. It’s also a call for anyone who is interested in serving this great community, it’s time for nominations for new board members so please drop Ryan Anderson a line to get more information.
