It is amazing how quickly summer is passing; there are only 2 more weeks of activities at the Casino. The beginning of last week was rather quiet, however, activity quickly came alive over the weekend thanks to the Pancake Breakfast and the Lobster Bake. Thank you to the Hamblett Family for a very successful Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning which was well attended and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Lobster Bake was fabulous on Saturday evening thanks to Mike and Susan Anderson and Ginny Kern. We all gathered on the Fuller’s lawn and feasted on a traditional Maine lobster bake while enjoying the gorgeous sunset Thank you once again to Ted and Mary Fuller for allowing us to hold the event on their property.

The Sunday softball game found Team Bertrand victorious once again defeating Team Plummer 14-9. Charlie Carrick and Mike Hoster hit home runs for the winning team while Kenny Ripley hit one for the Plummer team.

Several families enjoyed the Beach Family Picnic last Monday evening at Grimes hosted by Maureen Driscoll and Liz Holland, thank you for providing such a fun event for the Ocean Point families.

Please join us for a second Porch Party of the season on Saturday August 8th beginning at 5:30, bring your own beverage and an appetizer to share.
The Clamshell Open will be held earlier in the day so don’t forget to sign up at the Casino. The entrance fee is $25.00, which includes lunch and prizes. You are responsible for your own golf and cart fees, be at the course no later than 7:30 for registration.

Rev. Charles R. Carrick, Chaplain at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, PA. will conduct Sunday services on August 9th at the Wilson Chapel beginning at 9:30 A.M. His wife Jill will be celebrating a special birthday on that day, happy birthday Jill.

The Ball game Grill will be held immediately following the softball game on Sunday August 9th you are asked to bring a side dish or salad to share, burgers and hot dogs are provided. As you recall the last grill was rained out so let’s keep our fingers crossed for good weather.

The Webster Family have enjoyed a busy summer with their family, daughter Kim along with her husband Michael and daughters Ava and Grace from St. Louis were her in July as was their son Stephen, his wife Theresa and children Ethan and Nicole from Dallas. They all gathered for a family reunion at Jean and John’s and then held a second reunion with extended family. Kim’s college roommate came for a visit with her husband Dmitri and their sons Paul and Michael.

Our condolences to the Slayton Family; Phil’s sister Jean Slayton DeLong died last week at her home in North Attleboro, Ma. where a memorial service was held. Rich Slayton flew in from Oregon to attend the service along with his mom Jean.

The Activities Committee will be meeting this week to formulate an activities calendar for next summer. Please send me your thoughts and ideas for activities and of course we would love to hear from those who want to chair an activity.

Ocean Point calendars are currently for sale from Kate Turpie and Ginny Kern; Sue Goodrich is currently organizing calendar sales on the website and that should be made available very soon.

Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great week!
