The Dec/Jan 2017 Caper has arrived!

Love it or hate it, snow fall really brings some Christmas cheer to the neighborhood. For those who attended Meet the Santa at the Cape Guardhouse last Friday, the snow brought quite a beautiful ambiance. As 2017 comes to an end though, the first order of CSCIA business is casting your ballots for the Board of Governors at the January 9th 2018 meeting. At this meeting, you’ll also have the opportunity to vote on Fiscal Year 2019’s budget. Beau discusses these items as well as an update to the Beach Restoration & Erosion improvements project. Also, Mary Lamb has been working tirelessly to upgrade the clubhouse. Beau outlines the changes coming in his message. He gives updates on MANY of the projects still coming to this great community so don’t miss a word of it.

The Caper – November 2017 Edition

 The winds of the season change blow the leaves down our streets. They get themselves into gutters and lawns and under your windshield wipers. The trees become brown sticks poking out of the ground. Fall is here in full and now that October is over and all of the great Cape Halloween/Fall festivals have gone silent for another year, it’s time to give Thanks. Beau does that in his great Presidential message in the November Caper.

With Fall, comes everybody’s favorite topic: The Budget. The budget continues to be forward looking in planning and with a strong focus on capital improvements, but also personnel. We beg you to take a few minutes and review the budget in this month’s Caper.

Don’t forget about CCC’s Harvest Bash coming up this Friday from 7pm – 10pm at the Cape Clubhouse. For ticket information, see this link. We also announce the photo contest winner for 2018, there’s a great message from the Cape Garden Club as well as an interesting write-up from Goshen.

St. Margaret’s Church has their Holiday Bazaar coming up on November 18th from 9am to 2pm with Vendors, crafters, food and raffles. More information can be found in this month’s issue. Speaking of the holidays, SANTA IS COMING on Saturday December 16th from 8:30 to 10:30am at the Clubhouse. Please see the signup form and more information in this month’s Caper.

The October 2017 Caper is here!

Driving through the Cape, you can already see some of the falling leaves, the cooler temperatures to come only mean that there will be more leaves clogging up the sewer drains and spread out across your beautiful lawns. But nothing beats The Cape in the Fall, not just for the colors that will change but for the great activities coming. Cape Cleanup is coming to the Cape again on Friday October 20th and 21st. Goshen Farm has their Annual Harvest Spaghetti Dinner on October 14th. CCC has their first annual Native Plant Fest on October 7th and on November 3rd, their Harvest Bash from 7pm to 10pm at the clubhouse. Of course you know that Halloween Happenings is coming to the shopping center again this year, Thursday October 26th from 5:30 – 6:30 or until the last candy is gone! Don’t forget that on Saturday October 28th from 10am to 3pm, the annual Cape Fall Festival will be held down at the clubhouse. Check out the details to all of these amazing Fall events in this month’s Caper.

Seasons come and go and life around the Cape adapts to the cooling winds, the rainfall, and the humid air. As this summer comes to a close, Beau takes a few minutes in his message to reminisce about the Summer of 2017 that was and looks forward to the hopes and hard work of what’s to come. The October Quarterly meeting is right around the corner and that also means pumpkins and kids dressed in their scariest best. I should pause though before I get too far ahead of myself.
