Here is what’s happening in our greater community.

The winner of our 22nd Annual Scholarship was Ashlyn Roselle. Ashlyn is graduating from Worcester Prep in Berlin, MD, and will be attending the University of South Carolina in the fall. She currently has an intended major in Environmental Sciences, but looking to switch to Marketing. We wish Ashlyn the best in furthering her education.

Popsicles, sunshine, flowers. In every way, summer brightens our days and adds a sense of wonder and magic to otherwise ordinary activities. The adventure could start in your own kitchen or backyard with these fun projects!
Plant your own vegetable garden. If you’ve ever wanted to enhance your green thumb, this is the summer to do it. For sweet rewards, expand your garden to include tasty, edible summer fruits and vegetables.
Build a fire pit for excellent s’mores. If easy nights outside enjoying something sweet are more your style, this could be the summer you upgrade your outdoor space. Adding a fire pit could take less time than you think.
Pitch a tent in the backyard. A world of adventure awaits when you pitch a tent for some at-home camping. Turn an ordinary summer night into an exciting staycation. Sleep under the stars or simply set up an outdoor nook for lazy afternoons.
Pick a color and paint a room. Spruce up the house to spring into summer! A fresh color will liven up any room and breathe new life into four walls, so pick a color, pick a room, and paint. Give your bedroom a makeover with fresh new sheets and towels, and it will feel like you’ve turned your home into a boutique hotel.
