The Winter of 2016/2017 was the winter that wasn’t. Say that 5 times fast. Flowers are blooming early and there has been a lot of people out and about around the Cape. We’ll take it. Beau talks about the warm weather in his Presidential message. With these warm weather, it brings his thoughts on the Marina Slips for 2017 and his discussion on the Beach Restoration Project. Don’t miss his message this month. Don’t forget that the $10 dues were do on March 1st. If you haven’t paid already, hurry!

This Caper is packed full of information about upcoming events. The Garden Club’s annual Plant Sale is scheduled for May 20th. Youth Sailing Club’s registrations are now open. Goshen Farm’s Java and Jazz Tunes fundraiser will be held on March 12th. Details on this inside. In addition, the Easter Bunny will be making his appearance again in the Cape.

In a pretty easy winter, one of the first signs that spring is coming is getting the first Caper of the year. The best reason to view the digital copy is to check out the President’s message with the Valentine’s Day background. In this Presidential message, Beau talks about the election results from January and welcomes the newest members to the 9 person board:

Cheri Fairchild
Neil Macindoe
Jeffrey Roche

Our SCBD fee & cap increase passed by a large margin and we’re excited at the prospect of bringing a Town Manager to the Cape. Beau also provides an update to the Beach Restoration Project, the information is a must read. Don’t miss an informative article about snow removal, the CSCIA board in brief, an update from the Garden Club, Youth Sailing, Cape Conservation Corps, and Goshen. The next Goshen fundraiser is set for Sunday March 12th at 3:00pm at the clubhouse. Check out the details in this issue.

Enjoy the mild weather Capers and see you around the Cape!

It feels like I just posted the February 2016 issue of the Caper only yesterday. Now, it’s the close of another year… and what a year it’s been. The Strawberry Festival was a grand slam home run and the Breakfast with Santa, held only last week, had people overflowing the clubhouse with Christmas Cheer. Driving around the Cape is sure to get everyone in the Christmas spirit. We have all outdone ourselves with the decorations… wow.. bravo to all of you.

Now onto the Caper… Beau really gets personal with us in a great President message this month. Not only does he discuss the ballot points for our meeting in January, he gives a touching thank you and tribute from his time as President. Speaking of ballot, come to the meeting in January, where we all can elect 3 new people to the board and re-elect Jennifer. Also, inline with our previous discussions about the Town Manager, we are asking for a $30 increase to the SCBD fee so we can pay for this valuable position. Don’t forget to review the biographies on page 5 and budget on proceeding pages and fill out your ballots for the January 10th, 2017 meeting.

There’s a great article from Goshen, the Garden Club and the CCC this month and Mary has put together a fantastic Year in Review through images which you CANNOT miss.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year Capers… See you around the Cape.

Mother nature is so confusing. We had lows in the 30’s last weekend and then hit highs in the 80’s over this past weekend. No wonder everyone seems to get sick this time of year. Falling leaves brings budget season. Make sure you review our 2018 budget in this month’s Caper. You’ll be voting on it in the quarterly meeting in January. Now is the time to volunteer! We need more members on the board. Submit your request to run to [email protected]. Our quarterly meeting in October went well. There were great discussions concerning the Town Manager position. We feel that it’s of vital importance for the Cape Community moving forward. See this month’s Caper for more details.
Mark your calendars for December 10th, 2016 to have Breakfast with Santa. See the order form inside this month’s Caper for more details on this great event. It’s not too late to grab the tickets to the Cape Conservation Corp’s Harvest Bash which is this Friday at the clubhouse from 7-11pm. See this month’s Caper or visit their website for more information.
Beau’s Presidential message runs through everything else going on. As a Cape resident, it’s required reading. So many important things going on and we need your help to do it all. Stay safe while out getting as much candy as you can tonight.
See you around the Cape!
