Once again Ginna Yerrall and Barb Slayton organized a very successful Food Sale on Friday morning. There were so many delicious food items and baked goods donated by so many Ocean Pointers. Many of the local merchants and Ocean Point residents generously contributed items for the silent auction and raffle; thank you all for your support and thanks to the following volunteers: Cookie Dana, Stephanie Kaler, Maureen Bennett, Lisa Rush and Holly Cleary.

The Boothbay Ambulance Service generously gave their time last Friday morning to come and instruct us in CPR, thank you to them and to Jeff Slayton who assisted in coordinating the event.

Mary Rush, along with her kitchen crew, Ciara Rush, Sarah Carr, Kate Dawson and Cara Pond treated us all to an incredibly delicious pancake breakfast last Saturday. Thanks to Mark Pond who manned the door and to the very capable waiters and waitresses: James Rush, Louie and Liam Raymond, Everett Kaler, Sophie Cecilia and Emily Imhof, Ellie McGonegal, Maizie Mahoney, Izzy Carr, Nara Holland and Colin and Cara Dreher.

Later that evening Matt and Kathy Lindley hosted a very well attended porch party.

One of my favorite events of the season, the ball game grill, was held on Sunday. Thanks to Mark and Cara Pond for serving up some tasty burgers and hot dogs after the ball game and to those who brought a dish to share.
