We are experiencing another busy week at the Point with several activities happening.

Thanks to the Yerrall Family for a wonderful Ice Cream Social, which was well attended, and enjoyed by all.

Our AD Ginny Kern organized a Scavenger Hunt last Friday night with 17 kids participating in teams to search for a list of items. Two teams tied for first place, the team of Jefferson Driscoll, Henry and Nara Holland and Kevin Rush tied with  

Caroline, Luke and Dillon Driscoll along with Meredith Williams.  The team of Jonathan and Luke Yerrall, Kyle Rush and Luke Arnpriester placed second and in third, Zach Arnpriester, Kate Lindley, Iris Williams and Sam and Owen Bliss. Of special note was the singing of the Star Bangled Banner by Jonathan and Luke Yerrall, Kyle Rush and Luke Arnpriester at the end of the hunt

Thanks to Link Brown the Memorial Tournament was held on Saturday the 16^th. As usual it was a very successful tournament with 20 golfers participating and the results are as follows: the winning team was Link Brown, Chip Brown, Paul Cass and Lanny Whitehouse. Closest to the Pin on #2 was Pat Anderson and on hole #15, Paul Cass. Longest Drive was Dave Finch and for the women, Pat Anderson. We all enjoyed a delicious lunch at Over the Ledges following the scramble.

The Danas, Browns and Whitehouses hosted the Porch Party Saturday evening at the Casino where we all enjoyed delicious food and good conversation, so thank you to those couples for a wonderful event.

This week the Attic Treasure Sale will be held on Thursday morning, and is chaired by Barbara Newell, please plan to attend this major event from 9 until noon to find some new “treasures”.

Next Sunday July 24 the first Ball Game Grill will take place immediately following the softball game. Bring a salad/side dish or dessert to share, burgers and hotdogs are provided.

Connie Saindon will host a Mexican Train Game night on the 27^th of this month; this game is quite popular with many Ocean Point families and is sure to be a most enjoyable occasion.
