It seems as though we are racing towards summer and yet the weather certainly has not been an indication of the season. I’ve heard from many that they have not been able to play much golf due to all the rain and cold of late. This past weekend we were finally able to enjoy warmer weather as temperatures became more seasonable; let’s hope that trend will continue.

Ocean Point families were here Memorial Day weekend readying their homes for the summer ahead and many of them attended the Town Hall Meeting on Sunday of that weekend. The Architectural Committee, as well as Matt Lindley, Mike Anderson and John Edgerton, presented us with a possible plan for a new facility. In case you were unable to attend, the Architectural Committee gathered all of our ideas and possibilities that we compiled last year at our planning meetings and incorporated them into a design. The plans may currently be seen on the website and there will be another Town Hall Meeting on Sunday of the Fourth of July weekend for another preview.

Please check out the new website as it has quite a bit of information regarding current activities and what will be happening as the summer approaches.

Our first major event will be held on Saturday, July 1 with our annual Horribles Parade beginning on Van Horn Road at 9:30 a.m. and will be followed by races and the first softball game of the season. Later that evening the Chicken Barbecue will be held at 6:30 and will feature barbecued chicken and burgers. You are asked to bring a salad, side dish or dessert and utensils. Tickets will go on sale soon and I will keep you apprised of the days and times. Donna Logan will once again be in charge of ticket sales.

David Butterworth is a member of the Fireworks Committee and has asked that I inform you that the committee is currently seeking donations. Donations may be made to: Community Fireworks Fund, Attn: Tom Woodin, 11 Howard St., Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538

Have a great week!
