Unfortunately our activities have come to an end for the season; however, thanks to the efforts of many it was quite a successful one. Thank you to all who chaired, volunteered, participated and supported our events. Ginna Yerrall our activities chair promises another great summer of activities in 2025.

Thank you to Kathy Lindley who hosted the last ladies Porch Party last Wednesday and to Maureen Driscoll and Stephanie Kaler for kid’s Trivia Night.

The community elected the following Trustees and Board Members: President-Kelly Robbins, Vice President-Ginna Yerrall, Secretary-Maryellen Bertrand, Treasurer-Barb Klein, Susan Anderson, Dana Demers, David Houston, Alicia Raymond, Mary Ripley and Ken Schroeder.

After a hard fought game Team Arnpriester narrowly defeated Team Dawson 8-7 in Sunday’s softball game. The score was tied in the bottom of the ninth inning with the bases loaded when Bryson Nichols hit a game ending single. Softball will continue until Labor Day weekend.

Tim and Abby Mahoney have departed for the season and Kate Lindley will be here keeping the Casino open for another two weeks. Many thanks to both of them and to Kate for all of your hard work and effort in
keeping activities running smoothly. Tim and Abby will be returning next summer and we hope Kate will as well.
