So much going on in the Cape right now. We know that most have seen the relocation of the guardhouse. The road project is really starting to come together nicely. In this issue, Beau provides many other updates about everything that’s been going on. As most saw at the Strawberry Festival, the new retaining wall and completed path really look fantastic. The new updates to the clubhouse have been well received. Don’t forget about the quarterly meeting on July 26th! This is an important one as we’ll be discussing the Beach Restoration project. We need all of your inputs! So many more details are in Beau’s Presidential message.

Mosquito spraying has begun. Please see this issue for more details on that. The Strawberry Festival once again blew the doors off of the Cape. The weather cooperated and everyone was in a fine mood. We’ve got pictures of the festival in this issue. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for July 4th and come out to see the parade and then head to the beach for more festivities. More details on that are available in this issue.

So much to see! So much to do! Summer has begun in the Cape. This issue officially kicks it off.

See you around the Cape.

We are desperately searching for Spring but Mother Nature seems intent on putting it off for a few more weeks. Still, we can get into the mood by reading the new Caper for April which has the usual springtime goodness.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for June 4th 2016, which is the date of the next Cape St. Claire Strawberry Festival. 10am sharp from the CSC Firehouse.

More springtime activities coming up are the Cape Fun Run which is on Saturday, April 16th. Click this link for more details on this great family event. In addition, on April 23rd, the Spring Goshen Farm Open House will take place. See this issue for more details on these and other great springtime events.

Get yourself in the mood for summertime traffic .. err.. I mean, the Bay Bridge expansion by reading the Transportation Forum Update from the Broadneck Council of Communities meeting held in February.

See you around the Cape!

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.

Come and get it!

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!

As summer winds down, it’s a good time for us to take stock and address concerns a lot of folks outside of the Cape have experienced. Beau, in his presidential message this month, talks to everyone on the Broadneck Peninsula about what CSCIA is and how we operate. He also answers many questions residents and non-residents alike might have about our rules. One such question, which comes up often, “Why do non Cape residents get a copy of the Caper?” The answers are within…

Our Board minutes show how busy of a summer it’s been. We launched a new Cape St. Claire Community Watch page, the budget was balanced, our beaches and parks have been busy and security has been non-stop, our piers are full, and great info was given out about mosquito control. We all have a role to play in keeping the mosquito population down. There’s great information in this Caper about the Tiger Mosquito that’s a must read for everyone.

Cape Conservation Corps has a new logo that you need to check out, more news from Goshen and it’s Annual Harvest Pasta Dinner on September 19th. Don’t forget Friday, October 2nd and Saturday, October 3rd is 2015 Cape Cleanup. Mark your calendars!

This issue, once again, is jam packed. To download your copy, just click those whole link right here.

Also, this is also a good time to mention the Cape St. Claire Road Improvement Project. We continue to update our website weekly with the updates from the County. Please make sure you check back often to find out the latest news.

See you around The Cape.

Read it, read all about it! Hot off the presses – the newest Caper for May 2015.

In this issue is all the information you can possibly imagine about the Strawberry Festival. The reason is clear, this is the Annual Strawberry Festival edition. All the information you need is contained within. In Beau’s Presidential message, he’s asking for all the help the community can provide:

“First, the Strawberry Festival Committee needs more helping hands. This is by far the largest event in the Cape. Mary Lamb and her crew could use some help: The Festival is Sat. June 6th. She could use help on both Friday, June 5th and Saturday, June 6th in the following areas:

1. Festival set-up and take down, individuals with strength to help put up our fences, tents, stations for the kitchen and clean up and set up the day before.
2. The kitchen for berry cutting, prep and serve.
3. Help throughout the day with trash, clean-up and parking

There are so many other areas where we need help. More details on what and where are inside this issue.

The Friends of Lake Claire has undergone a rebirth, find out what that means and what else they’ve been up to on page 14. Goshen Farm has a great article as well as the Garden Club which is really getting into full swing. Don’t miss this great Strawberry Edition of the Caper.

See you around the Cape.

Read it, read all about it! Hot off the presses – the newest Caper for April 2015.

This is a pretty deep issue, not just because of all of the great content and great advertising sections but because of our President’s message. Do you really know what CSCIA is all about? What really is their function? What’s our point? Beau lays it all out for you and more in his great President’s message. Did you know that we’ve been digitizing old meeting minutes from as far back as the very first meeting, in 1949? Details in here.

Also, we’ve got some great photos from the Easter Egg Hunt last weekend. The kids weren’t concerned about the temperatures in the 30’s, they loved the event, despite the frozen ears some had to be dragged away. To read the new issue, just click here…

Remember, the QUARTERLY MEETING IS on APRIL 28th 2015 at 7:30 in the clubhouse. Have you ever attended a meeting before? Now is your opportunity to do so. We’d love to see you there.

Bring on Spring…
