Happy New Year to everyone; I hope that you were able to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. Our usual Christmas was spent with family in Kennebunkport enjoying the day and walking the beach. I personally look forward to January 1 as it reminds me that we will be back at Ocean Point in just a few short months.

The Hankinson’s enjoyed their holiday in Sarasota, Florida visiting Kelly’s mom and then on to Disney World and Epcot with Kelly and the girls. JD would like to remind everyone that it is Girl Scout cookie time so if you are interested in ordering contact him.

The Webster’s enjoyed a post holiday dinner” Web Fest” with Jean’s sister Susan and her husband Stu, Arthur Webster and June and Bob Rose.

January 1 also brings the annual Penguin Plunge, congratulations to all the brave participants this year especially the Ocean Point residents.

Congratulations to Senator Mike Rush who was sworn in for his third term in the Massachusetts Senate this past week. Among his many responsibilities Mike is the Chair of the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee and continues to work diligently on behalf of the Veterans.

Life long Ocean Point resident Marilyn Landry passed away December 17. Our sincerest condolences to Marilyn’s husband Lou, their 5 children and 5 grandchildren and Marilyn’s surviving siblings, Lucy and Cynthia.

If you have not visited the Blog recently, there are some great photographs taken by Rusty Court, Sue Goodrich and Julie Brown. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos with us, it keeps us all connected to Ocean Point in the off-season!

The AD search committee has been formed and is seeking a replacement for Ginny Kern. If you or someone you know are interested in the position details regarding the application process will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks in the column as well as the Blog.

Have a great week!
