Ocean Point Column

Our August crowd has arrived and is experiencing some of the
best weather of the summer season.
I understand that the Hambletts and the Fuller families
totally enjoyed their reunions while vacationing here; lots of food,
competitive games and boating were involved in the festivities.
It was wonderful to see Barbara Newell back for a visit even
though it was a sad occasion. All of her family and friends gathered to
remember and share stories of Gus’ incredible life.
The Ryder/Stephenson family along with grandchildren and
relatives all gathered on that same day to remember the life of their mom,
Grace, and despite the sadness of the occasion it was great to see them all
together.
Mark, Flor and Alex Rush were here vacationing for a few days;
they have not been here in a few years and were glad to return to the Point.
Chris Ross and daughter Karen are here vacationing with her
4 children.
After a relatively quiet 2 weeks a number of August
activities are approaching.
Thank you to the Arnpriesters for hosting the Smores night
last week which all the kids thoroughly enjoyed.
The kid’s Tennis Scramble is on the schedule for Thursday
August 9 beginning at 5:00 and the Food Sale is Friday morning at 9:00.
Chairperson Pat Landurand would appreciate your bringing your food items to the
Casino before 9:00. Don’t forget to stay and mingle over coffee and donuts!
A Movie Night is planned for Thursday night at 7:00 for the
kids and I’m guessing it will be appropriate for most age levels, check with
Nick to be sure.
The second of the season Pancake Breakfast will be held on
Saturday August 11 8:30-10:00,this is always a crowd pleaser and a great way to
start off your weekend!
Matt and Kathy Lindley will host the second Porch Party of
the summer on Saturday evening and you are asked to bring your beverage of
choice and an appetizer to share.
Lisa Burger, former Pastor East Boothbay and Southport
Methodist Churches will conduct Sunday Services at the Wilson Chapel. Services
begin at 9:30 and all are welcome. Please note that Sunday Services will
continue until September 2(Labor Day Weekend)
The second Ball Game Grill is Sunday August 12 after the
softball game, bring a side dish or dessert to share, burgers and dogs are
provided. Later that evening the kid’s will be treated to another smores night
at Grimes Cove at 7:00(all ingredients are provided).
Dana Turpie informs me that there are only 3 slots left for
her Bigelow Lab tour; if you have not signed up, do so before you are shut out
of this fabulous event. The tour is recommended for ages 12 and up.
Kids will have
the chance to play another game night on Wednesday August 14 and on Thursday
night the ladies will meet once again for a Porch Party at 5:30,bring your
beverage and an appetizer to share.
I’m very sad to report that other than one more Scavenger
Hunt on Friday Aug 17,the activities are over for the season, where did the
time go?
Don’t forget the all-important Annual Meeting on Saturday
August 18 at 9:30 A.M.
President Mike Anderson as well as the Finance Committee
will give an update on our fundraising efforts and next steps as we move
forward towards our goal. You must be a member to vote on any issues which may
arise and call for a vote. Please be sure your membership dues are paid in
full.
Have a great week and enjoy this beautiful weather!
