Chesopeian Colony Garden Club Greetings from the Chesopeian Colony Garden Club,

We had a wonderful first meeting at the Princess Anne Country Club. Ward Masden presented a program on butterflies and shared his amazing collection, extensive knowledge, and passion for these beautiful insects.

We’d love to have you join the club!

We meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month from September to June, and alternate between day meetings at the Princess Anne Country Club, and evening meetings at member’s homes within the Colony. Evening meetings for 2015/2016 (6:00-9:00 PM) will be October 8th, December 6th Holiday Social, January 14th, March 10th, April 14th, and June’s Summer Social. The dates in the afternoon (11:30 AM- 1:30) will be November 12th at the Artist Gallery, and the Princess Anne Country Club: December 10th, February 11th, and May 12th. Meetings are not mandatory, so you can attend as many or as few as you’d like. Interested in joining? Contact Karen Maszewski email: creativeseconds@verizon.net or call 464-4395. Dues are $40, which covers the cost of plantings for the front entrance, educational programs, donations to local charities, as well as our two socials in the winter and summer. If you wish to support the garden club, but don’t want to be a member, you can do so by making a donation of any amount to the Chesopeian Colony Garden Club and drop off or mail to: Karen Maszewski, 2812 Pine Ridge Lane. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Respectfully, Karen Maszewski Club President

2704 SHEPHERDS QUARTER

THANK YOU FOR PAYING YOUR 2015 CHESOPEIAN COLONY DUES!

Obtaining the Right of Entry documents from the 7 property owners

who did not support the SSD and are impacted by the community

channels has proven to be a very slow process. City representatives

have contacted the property owners to try to obtain

resolution. The city will be considering alternatives to the current

plan, including slight modifications to the project design. They are

also finalizing plans for a temporary transfer site for the east side

off of Wolf’s Neck Road. We are pushing to get the project

submitted to the regulatory agencies with the option to amend the

submission later, if necessary.

The city is well aware that we have passed the second anniversary

of the SSD being established and it needs to move forward. To be

fair, I have to note that our community has also contributed to the

process dragging out while folks revise plans and finalize

decisions. It is a frustratingly slow process, however, we are

moving forward.
