2015

Happy Spring to All (Finally):

The memories of frigid weather and giant snow banks are finally starting to fade; sunny weather is here and summer is right around the corner. It’s that time of the year again when we start thinking about “the Avenues” and dreaming about long, hot summer days on Cape Cod. I, for one, am ready. I’m looking forward to hauling the deck furniture out of the basement and doing some serious spring-cleaning over the next few weeks in preparation for Independence Day weekend. It can’t come soon enough! It’s winters like the one we just went through that make us appreciate how lucky we are that we get to spend our summers at Seaside Park.

I want to thank all the kayak and dinghy owners who moved their boats out of the beach area this fall. All of the boats were moved in a timely fashion and we all appreciate that. We will be doing a beach clean-up and reinstalling the two additional posts that the ConCom approved last fall. Hopefully that will allow us to spread the boats out a little. According to my count, we peaked at 86 boats tied up there last summer. Don’t forget to register any new boats that you plan to store at the beach this year. (The 2015 Boat Storage Form is included.) We are also in the process of designing and building the kayak racks that were approved last fall and hope to have those in before summer starts. Mark has included an update on those and all the infrastructure and maintenance items in this newsletter (see page 8).

In addition to the kayak racks, we are working on some new ideas for the summer of 2015 as well. Denise and Marsha, coming off the great success of last year’s 4th of July Parade, are working on some other neighborhood outings, such as the possibility of kids’ movie nights at Little Beach and neighborhood socials for everyone.

So, here’s to another summer of fun in the sun on “the Aves!” (And, by the way, this is our family’s 25th summer at Seaside Park.)

I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at the General Meeting on June 27th, under the tent at Little Beach.

All the best,

Charlie Cormay, President, SPIA
