Juleps on the Bay-A big Win!
The weather may not have been great but the crowd was ready to party at the first Juleps by the Bay event on May 6th at the home of Lisa and Dave Tankard. Although planned to be an outdoor event, the Tankards were gracious in opening their home to the crowd who then enjoyed pork barbecue while listening to a live band. There were hats large and small on both the ladies and the gentlemen as everyone got into the “Derby” spirit with mint Juleps offered as well as wine and beer.
The highlight of the evening was the large silent auction with items ranging from pet portraits to stays at vacation properties, a hand-made fire pit, and special meals cooked for the winner.
Everyone stopped to watch and cheer the race and a good time was had by everyone who attended.
Special thanks to Dave and Lisa Tankard and all who attended or donated.
At left is a one-of-a-kind firepit donated by Tom and Julie Smith of Atlantic Granite. Other auction items shown below. See our Facebook page for photos of the evening.

MAPPSVILLE DEDICATION SUNDAY AUGUST 28TH-2:00
You've watched our Mappsville home being built over the past year and seen it rise from a hole in the ground to this lovely 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath home for Tony and Tamekia Veney and their family. We are so thankful to the groups who have traveled to the Eastern Shore to work on it, and to our dedicated volunteers here who helped build it through all kinds of weather.
Tamekia Veney and Tony Veney are still working at the house-check out these pictures.
Come celebrate with the Veney family and us at our dedication on Sunday 8/28 at 2:00. Please consider bringing a gift for the "pounding party". Giving a pounding is an old-fashioned way to help someone by stocking their pantry with non-perishables foods or cleaning supplies.
