CAHHH NEWS

The Civic Association’s annual Food Drive, skillfully organized by Deedee Mahaffay and completed by many dedicated volunteers, was held on the beautiful spring day of June 10. Huge thanks to Deedee and to everyone involved! We appreciate your participation in this important opportunity to support the Anne Arundel County Food Bank. 

Thanks also to Mary-Beth Phillips and her committee and volunteers for continuing to bring a variety of excellent musical performances to our community. The June concert by world renowned jazz pianist Rossano Sportiello was a special treat! We’re taking a short break during July and August, and we’ll return with more amazing musicians in the fall. 

In preparation for the 2024 general election, the League of Women Voters of Anne Arundel County (LWVAAC) will sponsor several voter registration drives around the county. They will be at the Annapolis Family Day, co-sponsored with the NAACP, on July 27, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., at the Bates Athletic Complex; at the Ready to Vote! educational program, August 29, at the Eastport-Annapolis Neck Library; and at numerous locations on September 17, National Voter Registration Day. Partnering with several organizations, the LWVAAC will hold two candidate forums this fall. Details are still being settled, but you can pencil in the evenings of September 24 and October 10. Stay tuned!

OCTOBER: Envision an elegant Viennese coffeehouse sometime in the distant past as the Concert Committee presents a cabaret-style program of opera arias and beloved operetta tunes in conjunction with the Maryland Opera Company on October 13. We encourage you (but you are not required) to dress for the occasion… gowns, tuxes, jewels, top hats. Bring back the elegance and excitement of opening night! We will have a full liquor license so you may enhance your afternoon coffee.
