Bourne, MA Condos for Sale
I attended a great potluck party on Saturday at the home of Paula & Jack O’Neil. The food was wonderful, and this photo that was generously shared by its maker, Jeannine Lavoie, our photographer, organizer, and songbird extraordinaire! See more of her photos this week at the West Falmouth Library Photo Show (and one of mine, as well).
And take a look at the fabulous crab casserole that we enjoyed on Saturday, prepared by Carol Iwanicki. It was a huge hit!
The golfers have been out in full swing (sorry, couldn’t resist) all spring and summer, the ladies on Monday and Thursday, and the guys too.
When I hear about how much they all enjoy golfing together, and socializing after, I do sometimes think that THIS is the year I really should take up golf. But I think this is just going to have to remain a vicarious pleasure for now, at least until I retire (if I retire!).
The “new” property management company is the “old” property management company, The Dartmouth Group!
They’ve managed Brookside in the past, so they understand who we are and what our needs are.
We’re all looking forward to a responsive and smooth working relationship.
The O’Neils hosted about 40 of us Saturday night for the monthly potluck. Homeowners outdid themselves with appealing dishes to share, and everyone was happy to have a chance to catch up.
When new residents want to go, I accompany them to the first one after they’ve moved in, to introduce them. It’s one thing to tell prospects about the welcoming community Brookside is; it’s another thing – and a wonderful one – for them to experience it.
Thank you, O’Neils, and also Jeannette Lavoie for organizing this year after year. Very much appreciated by all!

Breaking news: Greater Boston Properties, which has been the property manager since April of 2015, is no longer going to be on board after August 31.
My guess is that Brookside was too far from their office for them to manage efficiently. I also think that, having mostly city condos in their portfolio, they were not accustomed to the significant landscape and plowing needs of a community like Brookside.
I haven’t heard who the new management company will be, but will post as soon as I know. Stay tuned!
