Possible Power Outage – Jan. 18, 2024
1/16/24
Today, DELMARVA sent a rolling voice mail to Cape Windsor homeowners (but not all). This Thursday, 1/18/24 starting at 9:00 am, Cape Windsor’s power will be off possibly up to 8 hours.
The workorder is for the power company to disconnect old lines and reconnect new lines. All lines have already been trenched underground and rolled at the base of the electric pole to install the new connections. So most likely the time frame will be less than the estimated 8 hrs.
Things for you to know:
- We will have access to water, our pumps will run with the backup generator. Please use water sparingly, fill containers so you have water on hand.
- If you have a garage, you may want to leave your car out overnight so you have immediate access.
- Charge your cell phone so you have access to call in case you need help.
- If you have a propane fireplace you may want to turn it on before 9am for heat.
Please call if you have any questions, 302-604-3107.
Cape Windsor Update and Fire & Ice Festival
Cape Windsor Update
The due date for 2024 Assessment payments is extended to February 15th. We announced that the Bank of Ocean City would provide the ability to pay through Revopay, a link on our website. The bank has run into a few glitches and believes they will have the system up and running on or about January 22nd. Another blast will be sent out once the bank provides us with the link.
Fire & Ice Festival
The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce is reaching out to communities to promote the Fire & Ice Festival, all of the information is below if you and friends or family would like to enter or sponsor.
Please find the Community Ice Sculpture Form attached explaining how families and individuals can sponsor their own ice sculpture for the Fire & Ice Festival the weekend of January 26-28. They get to choose their own design and where they want the ice sculpture displayed. The Into the Wild Theme is really bringing the creativity this year 😊 Best part is that 20% of the proceeds are donated to Believe in Tomorrow, a non-profit that provides housing for families of critically ill children right here in our community.
Here’s the link for volunteer opportunities throughout the weekend festivities. We’d love for the community to get involved 😊
Thank you again for sharing these opportunities with your community!
In partnership,

Documents from the September 9th Board meeting – Handout and Q&A
The Boards response and final decision counting ballots for the proposed amendment change.
We discussed improvements to our ballot counting process during the recent Board meeting on Saturday, September 9th. The aim was to enhance the process’s integrity and prevent any potentially fraudulent activities.
Some valuable suggestions were made, such as possibly stamping envelopes and opening them at a neutral location. However, Sue Scrapper pointed out that altering the process at this stage doesn’t seem practical. Our current process offers flexibility for homeowners to submit their ballots through various means, including mail, dropping them off at a box on Sue’s porch, or handing them directly to Sue. Ballots are being received through each of these methods, making it extremely challenging to keep votes confidential, especially for those who choose to hand-deliver their ballots.
We want to emphasize that our current process is designed with integrity in mind, and we are committed to not pre-counting ballots. While it may be difficult not to see how some individuals have voted due to the way ballots are received, please rest assured that no Board member with the exception of the Secretary/Treasurer has access to this information.
We understand the importance of maintaining trust in our community’s processes. Any future changes to the process can be considered through amendments or bylaws adjustments going forward.
