The February 2018 Caper is here!

The Cape is starting off the year with a giant bang. Beau, in his Presidential message, outlines many of the things happening around the Cape. He talks about how awesome it was to see all of the people out on the frozen Lake Claire. It sure was cold heading into this new year. Our Annual Membership Meeting was a success. I got reelected to the board, which means you’ll have to put up with these Caper updates for at least 3 more years. In addition, two new members are joining our ranks. Let’s congratulate, Matt Layman and Lisa Schmidt who are starting their first terms on the Board of Governors.

There are HUGE updates on the Beach Restoration project. I beg you to read what Beau has to say about it, it could be an amazing and exciting and awesome opportunity to get our local waterways and beaches fixed up.

Around the Cape, Goshen Farm is hosting their Coffeehouse Experience on March 11th, 2018 from 3-5 at the Cape Clubhouse. It’s free admission! The Garden Club is hosting a great speaking to discuss Bay-Wise Gardening at their meeting on Tuesday, February 6th at 7pm at the clubhouse. Cape Conservation Corps is hosting a book signing and presentation from Nancy Lawson to discuss her book The Humane Gardener. It’s at 7pm at the clubhouse. In addition, CCC is looking for a Habitat Hero, someone who has made changes to their own gardens and/or landscapes to create a healthy natural spaces for wildlife, and needs your nominations! For more information on this great initiative, see this month’s Caper.

Mark your calendars for the Easter Bunny who will be hopping into town on March 24th at the main beach @ 11am. Tickets will be available at Whimsicality beginning on February 19th.

See you around the Cape!

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.

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.
