Currently the Boothbay Region Water District is working diligently to get the water on for us and at last report made some tremendous progress. Keep checking their website for the most current updates. We hope to return once our meter has been installed.

As previously mention there will be a service for Larry Hornor on Saturday, April 27 at 1 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 10 Elm Street, Milford, New Hampshire.

Sadly, Ocean Point has lost another of our beloved residents. Roberta Alden passed away peacefully on April 13 with her family at her side.

My many memories of Roberta include how active and athletic she was; she loved swimming, boating, tennis, golf and walking the Point. Roberta loved Grimes Cove and was often seen swimming and sunning on most days throughout the summer.

Roberta was such a kind, gentle and loving lady with a winning smile and a good friend to all. Due to health concerns Roberta had not been in residence at the Point for several summers now but I know she was certainly there in spirit.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her son John and his wife Cindy, her son Ray and his wife Laurie and her daughter Laurel along with six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. The family is planning a reception sometime this summer at Ocean Point.

Most members of the OPCT should have received the spring letter and activities calendar via email. All of the current information is posted on the website. There is a Clean Up the Point Day planned on Saturday, May 25 at 9:30 a.m. - please meet at the Casino.

Sunday May 26th a Town Hall Meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Casino, don’t miss these two important events.

There are a few events on the calendar that are in need of a Chair, please contact me if you are interested in running any of these events.

Many of you may remember Bev Tabet the former hostess at the Inn. Bev is a Technology teacher in New Hampshire but she is also an accomplished photographer.

In her spare time she maintains the blog for the Ocean Point Inn and has posted some beautiful pieces of her work there. This summer Bev, along with photographer Kathy Tarantola, are planning a week-long photography experience in Maine from Aug. 21-25. You can get all of the information regarding this event on the Ocean Point Inn blog, sounds like a wonderful opportunity!

Hope to see you all soon, have a great week!
