Spring Rolls On Across the Eastern Shore

Can you believe March is nearly over? The azaleas are still going strong, the days are getting warmer, and we’re starting to see more folks outside enjoying everything our beautiful coast has to offer. Whether you’re into music, markets, art, or just good food and sunshine—this weekend has something for you.

Easter is still a few weeks away (April 20th this year), but spring energy is already building. And if you’re ready to meet new friends, don’t forget our Thursday night singles dinners—we’d love to have you join us! Just reply to this email for details.

🎁It’s my BIRTHDAY week, so I have a gift for you! You may not know that I’m a certified culinary nutrition instructor – If you’re wondering what to plant in your garden this year, I’m giving away a copy of my SUMMER SUPERFOODS guide. Enjoy!
