Annual Luncheon Meeting and Heritage Awards
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our 20th Anniversary Annual Luncheon meeting, originally scheduled for May 13th, was cancelled. We wish everyone good health as we all get through these times together and look forward to celebrating our twentieth anniversary with our friends and supporters next spring.
Each year, we provide a fabulous luncheon while honoring our newest Heritage Award winners nominated from the public during our program. Each year's mini grant projects are featured through exhibits by our grant awardees. Al proceeds from this event support the Beach to Bay Heritage Area.
