On March 19, a substantial BCYC contingent attended “One Shell Of A Party,” with unlimited servings of freshly shucked local oysters, heavy hors d’oeuvers from Palate Pleasers, an open bar, silent auctions, and John Starr’s Jazz band sponsored by the South River Federation at Homestead Gardens, Davidsonville, MD.
On April 7 there will be a wine tasting at Wine Cellars of Annapolis with analysis and tasting of wines from around the world, along with cheeses, charcuterie, bread, and socializing.
