Rick and Zuzu Forrest entertaining the guests
The St. Michaels Community Center on Railroad Avenue was transformed into a festive holiday
gathering place where friends and neighbors shared holiday cheer and a delicious dinner. On
Saturday, December 24, approvximately 76 meals were served to community members. This
bountiful feast included ham, turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, rolls and a
delicious assortment of desserts. The meal was a delicious success thanks to the following local
businesses/individuals for their food donations: Mark Chew from Marco's, John Mason at Town
Dock, Jack and Delores Antwerpen at Sweeties, Ann Borders, Andrea Gray and help from Ilene
Morgan. A special thanks also goes out to Graul's Supermarket for not only providing delicious
rolls but also for allowing us to set up a collection site for non-perishables at their store so that
each guest at the dinner could receive a bag of groceries as they left.

| The St. Michaels Community Garden Committee and others, under the auspices of the St .Michaels Community Center have been working to create a Community Garden on the property between Conner Street and Fremont Street, adjacent to Carpenter Alley. The garden will consist of forty raised beds, compost bins, several benches, and a small garden shed. The Town Commissioners have enthusiastically agreed to give the Community Center a five year commitment commencing October 15, 2011 to build and sustain a garden at this site. The Community Garden will benefit the community in many ways. It will give residents access to fresh produce, educate children and adults in good gardening and eating practices, and turn a vacant parcel into a vital and appealing space where people may gather, work together and socialize in a space that builds community. With limited publicity, applications have already been filed for 22 available beds. Phase II of the project will add additional beds for a total of 40. Methodist Men of Union United Methodist Church have reserved two beds with the intent to contribute their produce to seniors. The St. Michaels Community Center and the YouFood Project are partnering on a two bed gardening program for children. The Master Gardeners will be providing workshops on site for gardeners who may need assistance or just want to learn more about seasonal planting, pruning, harvesting or anything related to growing a garden. |
