Summer is certainly flying by; hard to believe it’s now the
beginning of August!
Our August residents have begun to arrive, The Fuller Family
is all here and the Hamblett Family is gathered as well.
Our Sunday Softball game has been nonexistent the last
couple of weeks but players rallied this past Sunday for a game. Team Bertrand
defeated Team Dawson in a thriller as Mike Rush scored the game-winning run in
the bottom of the ninth inning on a walk off double by Charlie Carrick.
Spectators also witnessed 6 year old James Rush hit not one but two home runs.
Thanks to all who chaired an event last week: Ken Schroeder
for the Ball Game Grill, Jonathan Dawson for the kid’s Rowing Race and Susan
Anderson and Mary Rush for a rollicking game of ladies Bunco.
Along with our weekly activities, this week will include the
Lobster Bake at Grimes Cove on Saturday August 3. Arrive between 4:45-5:00 for
cocktails and appetizers and the food will be served at approximately 6:00. The
bake includes lobster, clams, corn, hot dogs and blueberry cake. Bring an
appetizer to share, beverage, and if needed, a chair. The cost of the Bake is
$18 and can be paid the night of the event. Contact Jonathan Dawson for further
details.
The Seacoast Mission under the direction of James Zavodney
will conduct Sunday Services at the Wilson Memorial Chapel on August 4
beginning at 9:30;all are welcome.
We’ve got plenty of activities planned for August and they
include: the Family Beach Picnic on Monday August 5 at Grimes beginning at 6:00
and a first time Paint Night on Tuesday August 6. The kids will paint from
6:30-7:30 and adults from 8-9:00. The good news is that this fun evening
doesn’t require any art skills, just come and enjoy and maybe discover a hidden
talent!
