After 8 months of diligent work, this morning we hosted our Spring Homeowner's meeting in our totally renovated Community House. The building project addressed major necessary maintenance issues in the sixty-odd year-old building such as a leaky roof, inadequate insulation and ventilation, plumbing and electrical, as well as improvements like ADA accessible bathrooms and improved storage. We are delighted with the resulting clean, bright, airy, modern space that we hope will serve the community for decades to come and help create lots of great Popponesset memories to treasure. The project was funded by member donations and operating funds and was led by a team of diligent volunteers who contributed not only money, but guidance, research, creative interior design, and hours of hands-on labor.

The past  two years our calendar of events was interrupted by the necessary precautions for Covid-19 so we are especially excited to announce the return of this year's Basketball Tournament June 30th & July 1st (Boys Thursday at 10:45  & Girls at Friday 10:45), as well as  the Fourth of July celebration which will begin with the parade at 9 AM and Field Day following right after. Everyone is encouraged to join the parade with hats, horns, banners, flags, fancy cars, pets, bikes, balloons, and whatever ways you will express yourself!

The Community House opens June 27th for the start of our regular summer schedule of sports,  activities and events. Come down and check it out - we think you will be delighted!

The course will start and end near the Community House and there will be mile markers on the roads starting on Holly Road. [LINK TO ROUTE MAP]

Saturday, June 25, 2021 –We had a great turnout for the PBA semi-annual Homeowners Meeting at the Community House this morning.

Reports were presented by PBA committees about budget and dues collections, Community House activities, security, Deans Pond maintenance, roads and drainage, communications and beach accessibility.

We also heard from Mashpee Town Selectman Andrew Gotlieb about local water quality issues and future plans for wastewater management. Bob Hughes, representing Save Popponesset Bay, addressed us about their current progress and future plans to maintain the Spit. Barbara Reilly presented results of the 2021 PBA Survey.

GOOD NEWS
We've come a long, hard path since last summer! Many of us are fully vaccinated and most public restrictions have been lifted. PBA is sponsoring a summer of events and activities at the Community House and we're looking forward to enjoying a wonderful summer in Poppy.

SAD NEWS
Sadly, we have had to make the choice not to hold the annual Poppy Road Race for another year. At this point not all age groups are eligible for vaccinations and numbers are still high enough to cause concern for the event. However, you can still support Popponesset events and activities by contributing to the 2021 Road Race That (Still) Never Happened!
