Activities are over for the season at the Point. The kids
had an exceptionally busy last week of activities with a Game Night, Tennis
Scramble, Pizza and a Scavenger Hunt all thanks to Ginna Yerrall. The second of
the season ladies Porch Party was hosted by Susan Anderson and thoroughly
enjoyed by all who attended, thank you Susan.
The Casino is now closed for the season; tennis courts will
remain open, as will the playground. Playground bricks are available for
purchase by calling Alison Butterworth; a 4x4 brick is priced at $145. and an
8x8 is priced at $175.
An order form will be available on the website in the fall.
