UPDATE – August 15, 2023
As another great summer starts to come to a close we want to remind everyone to be safe, so please review the following:
Deadly Currents – Remind your family and guests not to enter the water at the point near the lighthouse due to the deadly currents; thus, avoid the water in that area.
Drive Slowly – Be alert to children walking, riding bikes and playing…and obey the traffic signs. Too many drivers exceed the 15-mph speed limit on the sand/gravel roads and 25-mph on Lighthouse Blvd.
Dogs – In accordance with Calvert County ordinances, all dogs off the owner’s property must be on a leash; this includes the beach and all roads in the community. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Fall Association Meeting – The next Association meeting will be on Saturday, August 26, at 10 am, at the Southern Community Center in Lusby. If you won’t be attending the meeting, please mail back your Absentee Ballot so that it is received not later than Wednesday, August 23.
MEETING NOTICE and BALLOT – July 26, 2023
This year’s Fall Meeting of the Cove Point Beach Association, Inc. membership will be held on Saturday, August 26, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Southern Community Center, Lusby, Maryland. Here are the draft meeting agenda, draft 2024 budget, absentee ballot and candidate bios. If you are unable to attend in person and would like to join us via Zoom, please email info@covepointbeach.com for the link.
In the event you are unable to participate in person, please complete and return the enclosed absentee ballot so that it is received no later than Wednesday, August 23, 2023.
UPDATE – June 11, 2023
In late August both Larry Hultberg and Tony Pompa will be stepping down from the Board of Directors after serving for 6 years, thus creating two open seats. Please consider this opportunity and if you are interested in possibly joining the Board of Directors, please email info@covepointbeach.com with any questions and or a short paragraph about your interest in serving. Terms are for three years. So, consider joining the team and sharing your talents with this wonderful community. The submission deadline is July 1.
Additionally, from time to time, we need volunteers from the Association’s membership to assist with small projects around the community. The projects vary from one-time opportunities like helping organize the annual beach clean-up, landscaping the area around the Cove Point Beach sign at the entrance to the community, painting the entrance sign or organizing a social event during the summer. There are other opportunities such as helping to maintaining the Member Directory and our website (http://www.covepointbeach.com). Without volunteers, we must hire folks to perform these tasks. This in turn raises our operational costs resulting in higher annual dues for all of us. If you’re interested in finding out more, please contact us at info@covepointbeach.com.
As we start the summer season, we want to thank our current volunteers that mow grass in common areas, fill in the potholes and other maintenance projects.
UPDATE – May 25, 2023
Deadly Currents – Please remind your family members and guests not to enter the water at the point near the lighthouse due to the deadly currents. We want everyone to have a safe summer so avoid the water in that area. Additionally, the County has erected new warning signs in the area.
Drive Slowly – As you go about our community this summer, be aware of the children walking, riding bikes and playing…and obey the traffic signs. Way too many drivers exceed the 15 mph speed limit on the sand/gravel roads and 25 mph on Lighthouse Blvd.
Summertime Security – Starting on Memorial Day weekend and continuing through Labor Day we will again have Calvert County Deputy Sheriffs providing weekend security. If you “see something … say something” and call the non-emergency number for the Sheriff’s department at 410-535-2800. If it is a true emergency, call 911.
Roadwork – We have signed the work order for the annual roadwork. Due to the dry weather over the winter and spring the roads are in pretty good condition. Thanks to Matt Lehtonen for taking care of those annoying potholes. Once we are advised as to when the contractor commences work, we will let everyone know.
July 3rd Festivities – Again this year Tom Clifton is planning an evening of fun here at Cove Point Beach. Weather permitting, the show will begin at 9 pm on Monday, July 3. Tom is seeking donations to help offset the cost. There is also a raffle for an ice cooler filled with assorted liquor…the cost is $5 per raffle ticket or 5 for $20. You can drop off your contribution and or buy raffle tickets at Tom’s house located at 10994 Webster Dr. (the corner of Lighthouse Blvd. and Webster Dr.) or use Venmo for LeAnn-Clifton.
2023 Annual Dues – As a reminder, annual Association dues are to be paid by June 1. Invoices were sent out in late April and here is a copy if needed.
Thank You – Property owner Jean Maliuat collected over $140 towards her $1,000 goal for this year’s American Cancer Society’s walk. Jean thanks all those who contributed at Saturday’s Association meeting.
Next Association Meeting – Our next meeting will be held on August 26, 2023; details to follow.
