The March 2016 Caper is now online!
Spring is finally in the air and soon the Cape will start to blossom and bloom with its colors. To kick this great season off, we’ve got a jam packed issue of the Caper. You can grab it early online but expect this full sized novel to arrive in your mailboxes soon. Scott Dembowski, the President of CSCIA, has a great message of thanks for all of us. The Strawberry Festival plans are in full swing. Don’t forget to Save the Date of Saturday, June 4th. More details on all of the events, for what we hope will be another record breaking turnout, will be coming in future Capers.
The Easter Egg hunt is Saturday March 19th at 11am. Don’t forget to grab your ticket at Whimsicality. Remember, admission to the event is by ticket only! The cost of the ticket is 1 dozen plastic eggs and 1 bag of individually wrapped candies small enough to fit inside of the eggs.
Garden Club, of course, is getting excited for springtime with their plant sale, set for May 14th. Goshen Farm has a lot of great events coming up, including their Java and Jazz Festival at the Cape Clubhouse on March 13th from 3 to 5pm.
There’s so much more so I beg you to click and read!
See you around the Cape.
The February 2016 Caper is now online!
The changing of the guard. We’d like to thank Beau for his selfless work during the course of his Presidency over the past year. We’d like to congratulate Scott for taking over the reins. He has some pretty big shoes to fill but we are sure he’ll do fine in the role he’s been in before.
In this issue, Scott’s first presidential message reminds us all of the warmer seasons to come. The blizzard of 2016 certainly laid to waste anybody’s travel plans for a few days. We love the wonders of the Cape, especially when it snows, as it brings everyone together.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Barnhart family for the passing of the Cape’s beloved Elaine. Read some thoughts from several of the Board Members on her passing.
The Easter Bunny is coming to The Cape on Saturday March 19th, 2016 at 11am. Don’t forget to sign your child up using the form in this issue. An update on dingy rack space contracts, a Goshen Farm update, and tons of pictures of the Blizzard of 2016 are all included in this stuffed issue.
The December/January 2015 Caper is now online!
We’ve been double checking the calendar a lot. It says December 17th but judging from the people we’ve seen jogging in shorts, it’s been hard to tell. Last Saturday, we hit a high of 71 which broke the record. After a one day cold snap on Saturday, the temperatures will rebound back into the 60’s next week for Christmas.
We’ll take it. Thank you to mother nature for the early holiday gift.
This is a big edition of The Caper as it contains the ballots for the upcoming year. It’s so important that we hear from the community about the issues we present. For the upcoming year, here’s what you can expect to vote on:
- Voting for candidates for the Board of Governors for four openings.
- Budget committee has two available slots with two nominees who have decided to run.
- You will also be voting for $5.00 increase in the SCBD Fee as explained in the October and November Capers and at our presentation of the budget at the October General Membership Meeting.
- A vote on the budget for fiscal year 2017, which starts July 1st, 2016 is included.
- The proposed change to the by-laws to allow for electronic notification of meetings along with traditional mailing methods, this requires a majority vote of the membership to change our by-laws.
Beau’s message in this issue is important so don’t miss it. This issue is jam packed with news from Goshen Farm and images and information about another successful Breakfast with Santa, which took place last weekend. The rumor was that Santa was wearing shorts. Weird. Information about Christmas worships across the Cape can also be found throughout this issue.
Don’t miss it. Download! Vote! We will see you on Tuesday, January 12th at 7:30pm at the clubhouse. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season.

The November Caper is now online!
November marks the beginning of the holiday season and cooler weather and leaves. Lots and lots of them.
As a board, over the past month, we’ve been busy fixing what mother nature wants to take away. We wish it were the leaves. In this new issue of the Caper, Beau talks about the Lake Claire Recapture and Stabilization project we undertook a few weeks ago. For those that haven’t visited the beach, our shoreline took a beating from the storm at the beginning of October. Details on how it all got fixed are included in this issue.
The road construction project continues and will continue into 2016. The goal for the winter is to get a “plowable” road surface on Cape St. Claire Road. More details on the project are in this issue. The discussion on the 2017 budget took place at our Quarterly meeting, held last week. Included in this Caper, for those that missed it, are the details for the 2017 budget.
There are lots of great updates from the CSCIA recognized organizations. Harvest Bash takes place this coming Friday at the clubhouse. Tickets can be found online at Cape Conservation Corp’s website. Goshen Farm held an open house on October 10th and this issue holds some exciting images and details about that successful event.
Images from the 2015 Halloween Happenings are in here and the signup for Santa, who will be coming to the Cape on December 12th at 8:30 at the clubhouse. Check out this month’s issue right here…
See you around the Cape!
