St. Michaels Community Center
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the St. Michaels Community Center is to enhance the quality of life in our
community by:
• Providing supervised program opportunities for the enrichment of our children
• Offering and facilitating a variety of recreational, social, educational and cultural
activities to community residents
• Helping to meet these needs through the support of existing organizations or by initiating
appropriate sponsorship for these needs
• Providing for financial support and management of the Center and its activities
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. Ray Winch agreed to serve as
the first president. Jane Meneely was appointed Executive Director in 1991 and facilities at St.
Michaels Elementary School (SMES) provided a home base for after school and summer programs
serving SMES children.
Today, the St. Michaels Community Center office and Treasure Cove Thrift Shop are located in the
3000 square-foot building at 1110 South Talbot Street. A full time paid Executive Director, Trish
Payne, and two part time and contractual employees staff the Center. An additional 100 volunteers,
including a Board of Advisors, students, parents and community members contribute time and
skills to further the Center's goals and meet community needs. Funding for the Center includes
local foundation grants, groups, organizations, fundraising events and an annual drive organized
by the Advisory Board.
The St. Michaels Community Center serves the Bay Hundred Area in a variety of ways that reflects
the organization's mission. After school programs and summer camps continue to be the Center's
priority, annually increasing the number of student-participants. Currently, instructors implement
programs at Tilghman Elementary School (T.A.S.K., Tilghman After School Kids) and St. Michaels
Elementary School (A.S.K., After School Kids) and engage 130 plus students each week. The
World of Wonder summer camps weekly serve over 60 area children and the popular Summer
Teen Splash parties continue to be well attended. Senior citizens utilize the Center's offerings,
including weekly free lunches and social programs. Often, Easton doctors refer their patients to
utilize these activities, including a Breakfast Club and field trips to keep older adults physically
active and mentally stimulated. The Center's Newcomer's program strives to increase the web of
community connections. Many Newcomer participants become volunteer-oriented citizens within
the community center.
Public special events include the summer Concerts in the Park and family Pumpkin Carving during
the "Fall into St. Michaels" celebration. In 2007, SMCC initiated an annual holiday musical
production for the residents of the Bay Hundred area. We hope to bring a summer theatrical
production to the Bay Hundred area in the summer of 2008. All of these programs draw over 2400
concertgoers and an estimated 1500 patrons who are informed about the Center's activities.
The St. Michaels Community Center's Treasure Cove Thrift Shop serves the low-income residents
by giving them access to low-cost clothing and household items. Moreover, the shop acts as
connecting place for donors, shoppers and volunteers.
The SMCC sincerely welcomes anyone who would like to donate their time and energy or financial
support to help us serve the community in more and better ways.
