We are moving quickly through July with another successful week of activities. Many thanks to Roseanne Bourassa for organizing Ladies Bunco and the Browns, Danas and Whitehouses who hosted the Porch Party, both were well attended.

During the Porch Party our Vice President Mike Anderson reminded those gathered of the importance of the up coming Annual Meeting on the 19^th of August. Please be sure that your membership has been paid so that you have the opportunity to vote on some important issues.

The results of the Sunday Softball are as follows: Team Plummer defeated Team Bertrand 10-7. Gerry Plummer hit 3 home runs for the win and Kyle Rush and Owen Dawson made outstanding catches.

After the game a good crowd was on hand to enjoy our first Ball Game Grill of the season. Thank you to Kenny Schroeder and his sister Melissa Bliss, Jim Rush and Carol and Dick Palmer for their assistance.

Coming up this week Sue Clark will be conducting a walking tour on the history of Ocean Point Cottages. Please join her for this informative tour beginning at the Casino at 3:00P.M. The tour will include the Grimes Cove area as well as the cottages along Shore Road heading toward the Casino.

Recently I had the opportunity to speak with Pat Farrin. Pat requested that I mention to everyone how grateful he is for all your kind words of encouragement and your thoughts and prayers. Pat continues to do quite well as he moves forward through this challenging time. Pat is such a wonderful friend to all of us here at Ocean Point and we certainly wish him the best.
