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, Aug. 3. Arrive between 4:45-5 p.m. for cocktails and appetizers and the food will be served at approximately 6. 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.
