We all enjoyed some wonderful events this past week. As promised I am reporting on the Paint Night which the kid’s thoroughly enjoyed and though I’ve not seen the finished product I’ve heard that the collage

What a great time many of us had at the Trivia Night hosted by Mike and Mary Rush.Lots of great music, snacks and very challenging questions that had our heads spinning at times!! I guess I’m not ready to be a Jeopardy contestant just yet!

Congratulations to team 1877 who took home the prize.  In the meantime I’ll continue to sharpen my skills in the off-season with hopes of a win next summer.

Cindy Raposa and Pat Landurand organized a successful Food Sale on Friday with many Ocean Pointers donating their yummy food items for sale. We all enjoyed coffee, donuts and good conversation while we all waited patiently for the raffle to begin. Everett Kaler won the most coveted prize of the event, an enormous jar filled with candy.

Saturday morning Pete, Suzie, Andy and Meghan Hamblett along with Robert Driscoll energetically whipped up pancakes and sausage for the crowd, which received rave reviews by those in attendance. The good news is they will return next summer to share their culinary talents once again.

Our Sunday softball game results Team Jonathan Yerrall defeated Team Kyle Rush 12-7. Dan Anderson, Beckett Slayton, Bob Ripley, Jonathan Yerrall and Kevin Rush made home runs.

After the game everyone enjoyed the second of our ball game grills with Mark Pond flipping burgers and dogs assisted by daughter Ashley, Ginna Yerrall, Kathy Lindley and Lisa Rush. Thanks to all who contributed a side dish.
