What's New In Great Harbors?
Let the Summer Begin
The Annual Meeting of the Great Harbors Resident Association will be held in the small building adjacent to St. Anthony’s Church at 167 East Falmouth Highway, East Falmouth, MA at 9:30 AM The meeting was originally scheduled to be held in the downstairs hall of the church, but will be held on the property in the adjacent building as it was last year. Look for the “Great Harbors” sign.
At 5:30 PM everyone is invited to attend the Annual Cocktail Party at the Great Harbors Clubhouse. Beverages and appetizers will be served. If you would like to donate a hot appetizer, it would be greatly appreciated.
The summer looks like a busy one. Don’t forget the Friday evening socials at 7:00 PM. BYOB and a snack to share. Gather your books for the first ‘Book Swap” on Thursday, June 30th. The Fourth of July” celebration promises to be fun with a lot of new games. Check out the information at the Tollhouse. Adult Game Nights, Community Yard Sale, Wine Tasting, and Golf Tournaments, plus many other activities will make this a summer to remember. The anchor for the kayaks is in place. Be sure to check it out. Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

Great News!
For those of us who are forever having to redirect visiting friends and relatives due to the fact that many GPS and online navigation tools send them directly down Shorewood Drive from Rt. 28 (only to meet the "hump" that keeps all but foot traffic from passing into GH), we are happy to report that Google Maps has responded to our cries and now knows to send all of our direction-seeking friends the proper way- down Akapesket Rd!
Website Update

GH Decals
Check out our new GH bumper stickers! They have the letters GH in navy blue over the Great Harbors sailboat logo in a lighter, faded blue.
They look fantastic, and they will be for sale starting this Summer at the Tollhouse.

We will bring the updates to your attention when they make it though our strenuous testing process (we want to be sure they will work perfectly for you!).
End of Summer!
It is with great sadness that we inform you that the GHRA Summer season officially ends today. We would like to thank all of the volunteers, be they Board members, parents, coaches, or kids- they make all of this possible! If you have any fond memories of this summer in Great Harbors, thank a Great Harbors volunteer.
On another note, as our website continues to expand, check out the new Facebook profile and YouTube channel! We've added new photos and videos, as well as more information about Great Harbors (like accurate driving directions), so look around.
We would like to remind you to stay tuned to GreatHarbors.org throughout this Fall for continued updates, as well as news from Great Harbors.
Against the Tide
The Against the Tide fundraiser is fast approaching! Greg Mili and Kyle Murphy have joined together to start a Great Harbors team to raise money for the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. Kyle has participated in this fundraising event for the past 2 years, and he and Greg created a team to participate this year.
Here is some information about the GH team.
All Great Harbors residents of all ages are encouraged to join in the event. It is not too late to register as a participant or in donating. Information is available at the Tollhouse or online.
