On August 21, 2013, the Chesapeake Moms Club (CMC) made a $500 donation to the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center (CBEC), a nonprofit organization in Grasonville Maryland whose mission is to promote stewardship and sustainability through environmental education and habitat restoration. The Chesapeake Moms Club held its End of Year Banquet and Silent Auction at Fisherman’s Inn in Grasonville, MD and donated proceeds to CBEC.
“This is a natural partnership,” said CMC President Keely Marczyk “Over the years many of us have had the opportunity to take advantage of the many programs CBEC has to offer, including their Creepy Crawlers education program for kids, the wonderful trails and natural areas they maintain, and guided family kayak tours led by CMC Member and CBEC Conservation Manager Courtney Leigh. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to give something back to an organization that does so much for the area, and for our children.”
The Chesapeake Moms Club (CMC) is a growing support network made up of nearly 100 working and stay-at-home Moms from Kent Island to Centreville, covering all of Queen Anne’s County, Maryland. Members hail from Chester, Stevensville, Queenstown and surrounding areas. CMC offers organized weekly playgroups, community outreach events, adult socials, special Moms Nights Out, holiday parties, and family outings on weekdays and weekends. CMC’s community service participation includes serving as an official sponsor for Kent Island’s Run4Shelter, Feed-a-Family Thanksgiving Program and Christmas Angels for Queen Anne’s County Children’s Choice.
CMC would like to extend a special thanks to the local businesses and individuals who made this donation possible, including Step1Dance2 Academy, Treaty of Paris Restaurant, the Kent Island Farmer’s Market, Tiffany’s Time, Modatique, Mesochic, Chick-Fil-A Chester, R’s Americantina, Carletto Pizza, Kent Manor Inn, Ram’s Head Shore House, Tara B Designs, Cohen Chiropractic, and the many CMC Members who donated their time and talent.
