On May 10, 1990 community representatives, many from the Christmas in St. Michaels Committee, met to initiate the formation of the St. Michaels Community Center. At that time, the SMCC office was located in a closet at the St. Michaels Elementary School and we relied on the generosity of other organizations to provide space for our programs and activities. Over the years, SMCC has expanded and grown. For the past several years, we have occupied space in a room within our Treasure Cove Thrift Shop but have never had a real place to call our own. NOW WE DO!!! The Board of Advisors of the St. Michaels Community Center signed a lease on the property located on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Fremont Street in downtown St. Michaels. As of December 1, 2009, the St. Michaels Community Center offices will be relocated to 103 Railroad Avenue (directly behind Chesapeake Outfitters). In addition to the new Administrative offices we will have an office for our Youth Coordinators, two new classroom areas and a kitchen for cooking classes. St. Michaels Community Center strives to become an even more vital and important resource to the Bay Hundred area in terms of services, classes, programs and activities. We are very excited about the opportunity to grow to meet the needs of our community. As always, the St. Michaels Community Center depends on the time and talent of many volunteers to provide so much to so many. SMCC will also need strong financial support from our friends during this time of growth. If you are the someone who enjoys helping your neighbors and friends, we'd like to invite you to join our family! We are always grateful for instructors, event planners, fund raisers or anyone who feels rewarded by service to others. If you have an interest in teaching, helping or serving or donating, please contact Trish at 410-745-6073. The Treasure Cove Thrift Shop is NOT moving. It will remain in the same location as always but it will have even more space to offer those wonderful deals to you! |
