‘Twas the Night Before Christmas on Useppa-
Comments and Photos by UseppaGin-
On the 24th of December, Santa took a break before the long night ahead. The reindeer grazed on Pine Island while Santa caught a boat and headed to Useppa.
Kids met at the Fire House and climbed on the fire trucks. Then the trucks slowly wound their way to the beach. An impromptu procession of golf cars followed, filled with parents and grandparents.
When Santa arrived, he walked down the dock with Fire Chief Frank and Assistant Fire Chief Laura. He climbed on the big fire truck and trucks and golf carts paraded up and down the beach.
Ice Cream and cake for all, present from Santa for the kid. Just one other great time on Useppa.

Island Thanksgiving
Thoughts and Photos by UseppaGin
So much to be thankful for this year. Useppa was spared major damage by Hurricane Irma, and we know better than to take island life for granted.
On Thanksgiving, many of us gathered at the Collier Inn to enjoy a fest prepared and served by Useppa’s hardworking staff. In so many ways, each of us remembered Islanders who made Useppa a better place. We celebrated the gift of our ongoing Useppa friendships. We looked around our tables treasuring loved ones.
We are family here. Members, residents, and employees are all part of a community. We rejoice in each other’s good times and keep each other company through the hard ones.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who love this island.
