I got great shots and video of the annual Mo Beach polar swim, in its 20th year, and benefiting the Bourne Friends Food Pantry. This is a big event, with sometimes more than 250 participants and as many as 600 cheering supporters (complete with traffic control, ambulances, and a well-crafted parking plan). Last year $11,000 was raised, and this year’s funds will probably get them to over $100,000 since the first swim twenty years ago. Lots of spirit (and maybe lots of spirits, too) here! Look and listen to these hearty souls!

Brookside Annual Meeting
Waiting in line to check in at annual meeting. Didn’t quite make a quorum, so residents will be emailed to vote for open seat on Board. Consensus was that The Dartmouth Group did a good job in their first meeting as new property manager. The news? Fees going up 5% to cover increased expenses. This is common in all condo associations. The Board and manager are in constant dialogue with vendors to keep expenses in check. The community is well-run, and looks beautiful.
