Plan now to come to the double driveways on Denzel Ct. for Chesapeake Station’s annual October Fest on October 15th beginning at 2PM. We will have bratwurst, sausages, hot dogs, soda, apple cider and of course, beer! You need to bring a side dish and your own chair, but not your pets, please.
We are also in need of another grill and some grill masters! If you’d like to volunteer, contact Cathy Diggle at [email protected].
Join your neighbors for fun, food and music.
Get Out and Vote!
When: Wednesday, October 19, 7:00 – 9:00 pm
Where: Northeast Community Center (mini-gym), Chesapeake Beach, MD
What: An informal open door meet-and-greet will be held for all Town residents to provide an opportunity to get to know and learn more about the candidates in our Town election. Candidates will have individual tables to allow for informal one-on-one or small group conversations with the public on any topic of interest.
To maximize the public’s opportunity to engage candidates, there will be no formal addresses to the assembly by the candidates. All candidates will be equally available to residents throughout the duration of the event.
All candidates were invited. As of October 11th, nine of eleven candidates have confirmed attendance. All residents are highly encouraged to take part in the event to meet the candidates and learn more about your future local government leaders.

The names on the ballot are correct but the sheet should include the following sentence : “Vote for no more than five people.” If you include a “write-in name” it will count as one of the five.
Also, remember If you would like to run for office or if you would like to nominate someone at the Annual meeting there will be a time to do so before votes are tallied.

TOWN NEWS:
PLEASE DO NO DISPOSE OF FULL PAINT CANS WITH REGULAR GARBAGE
These cans might become crushed and paint will then run all over the streets. Empty paint cans are acceptable for our trash pick-up as are cans where the paint has been allowed to dry up. Hint: Place inexpensive kitty litter into the cans with the liquid paint. Leave the lid off and keep adding kitty litter until all the liquid paint is absorbed and dry. Only then is it acceptable to throw into your household garbage.
