In addition, she revealed that a new category, gingerbread houses made from kits, has been added to the prize categories. Total prize money is $1,450, with individual prizes ranging from $25 to $500. The demonstration will be held at the Christ Church parish hall on Willow Street in St. Michaels from 10 a.m. to noon. “Some people are a little intimidated by undertaking the creation of a gingerbread house, and we felt that holding a demonstration for people interested in entering the contest would be both helpful and fun,” said Martin. “We also felt that adding a category in which children and adults could submit houses made from kits would encourage more people to enter the contest,” she added. The six competition categories are Professional (chefs and caterers), Adult (19+), Young Adult (13–18), Children (12 and under), Adult with Child (12 and under) and Kits: Children (12 and under); Adult (13+). Entries are due on Saturday, Dec. 1, between 9:00 a.m. and noon at the Woman’s Club on St. Mary’s Square in St. Michaels. There is no entry fee. Judging will take place on Sunday, Dec. 2. The Gingerbread House preview cocktail party will take place on Dec. 2, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Woman’s Club of St. Michaels. The houses will be on display, and most will be for sale. A preview party reservation is $50; advance reservations are required and may be made by calling (410) 745-0745. During Christmas in St. Michaels, the gingerbread houses will be on display at the Woman’s Club on Friday, Dec. 7, from noon to 3:00 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 8, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and on Sunday, Dec. 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Many of the houses will be available for sale. Martin encourages anyone interested (continued on page 11) 10 (continued from page 10) to consider entering the contest. “It is a lot of fun to make a gingerbread house,” Martin said, “and although it requires some time and effort, people are often surprised by how much they enjoy the project and are pleased with the result.

Down Year for Striped Bass Reproduction Chance's Country Store 21062 Dover Bridge Road Preston, MD 21655 Biologists attribute the drop to weather conditions The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced that the 2012 striped bass juvenile index – a measure of striped bass spawning success in Chesapeake Bay – is below the long-term average this year. “While we expect large variation in striped bass reproduction from year to year and do not view this low value as an imminent problem, we will be carefully monitoring the results of future surveys,” said DNR Fisheries Director Tom O’Connell. “Three consecutive years of poor reproduction would be necessary to trigger mandatory conservation measures.” This year’s striped bass juvenile index came in at 0.9, the lowest on record. Last year’s survey showed the fourth highest result in the 59-year history of the survey. The long-term average is 12. Striped bass spawning success can vary dramatically from year to year. Typically, several years of average reproduction are mixed with large and small yearclasses. Environmental conditions such as flow rates and water temperature influence spawning success. The highly successful years of 1989, 1996, and 2001 were followed by below-average years.

Similarly, a survey conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science documented poor striped bass spawning success in Virginia’s portion of Chesapeake Bay. “Generally, warm winters and dry springs are unfavorable conditions for fish that return to freshwater to spawn,” said DNR Striped Bass Survey Project Leader Eric Durell. The survey showed increased reproduction of fish species that spawn in higher salinities or offshore, such as At- lantic croaker and bay anchovies. During this year’s survey, biologists counted more than 31,000 fish of 54 different species at 22 sites in the four major spawning systems—Choptank, Potomac and Nanticoke rivers, and the Upper Bay. DNR biologists visited each site monthly from July through September, collecting fish samples with two sweeps of a 100-foot beach seine. Juvenile indices are calculated as the average catch of young-of-year fish per sample. HAVING A YARD SALE?

More than 18,000 visitors are expected to experience a timehonored Eastern Shore tradition that pays homage to the annual migration of geese through the Atlantic Flyway and supports wildlife and habitat conservation throughout the region. The Festival kicks off with Opening Ceremonies and the VIP Premiere Night Party on Thursday, November 8th and then opens to the general public on Friday, November 9th. “Like all traditions, the Festival blends history with change and this year is no exception,” comments Ron Flohr, Waterfowl Festival board president. “This year we will honor the contributions of one of our founders while also introducing new elements to the weekend festivities.” On Saturday, November 10th at 11:00am, the Waterfowl Festival will dedicate the Harry M. Walsh Waterfowling Artifacts Exhibit in memory of the first President and Chairman of the Board of the Waterfowl Festival. Dr. Walsh amassed a collection of decoys, waterfowling firearms, gunning accoutrements, and historic photographs of waterfowling that served as the beginning for the exhibit that will now bear his name. This year, the Festival debuts the new Sporting Arms exhibit presented by the organization’s first-ever Premiere Night Sponsor, the Avon-Dixon Insurance Agency. In addition to underwriting the majority of the costs associated with the VIP party, it will also be hosting an exhibit at its North Harrison Street location that traces the evolution of the Shore’s Hunting and Sporting Heritage from past to present through antique and contemporary gun displays and other memorabilia. Also new this year is 2012 Waterfowl Festival Featured Artist, painter Mark Eberhard, and his signature piece, Sunday in the Park, which is this year’s poster image and the inspiration for the 2012 promotional (continued on page 25) 24 SHRINK WRAPPING Boat - Equipment - Lawn Furniture - Etc.

Sandra had two strong role models in her parents who “put her on the path to helping others”. She says, “Our family is very close and as children we were always taught to not only help our own, but also to help others. I grew up in the era of borrowing a cup of sugar or flour and not having to be concerned about taking it back.” Sandra “had the pleasure and the honor” of meeting Dorothy Webb Black, who founded the NSC forty-three years ago, and was able to talk with her about the Center and its vision. “…to ‘Serve the Total CPR & First Aid Training Classes for individuals, small or large groups, at our location or yours!

Sandra is a hands-on leader who has preferred to spend her day getting involved with the staff and client needs. “The real meat of the work and the real day, I feel, starts when we are interacting with the clients, finding out what is needed in the community, as we come together to see how we can best meet the need of the community.” The NSC offers a wide range of services to help clients find that success.

The Center is already collecting items suitable for Christmas or a child’s birthday. The Winter Wrap-Up Program began when Sandra met Terry John from Mid-Atlantic Tire and he wanted the NSC to give out the coats he and his children had collected in honor of his wife’s memory. Sandra liked the project so much that she expanded on that idea. Other community groups have chosen to get involved with donations, such as mittens and hats. “Right up until springtime we’re giving away the hats and coats and gloves.” There is also a Daily Donation Giveaway program and a Professional Clothes program, among others. The Center operates the Maryland Emergency Assistance Program, the Electric Universal Service Program, and the year-round Ridgeway House Transitional Homeless Shelter. Sandra has seen an increased need for services since she began in 2005. “But, just as I’ve seen the need increase, I’ve also seen the Talbot County support increase. We all have become partners in how we help each other.” She is thankful for the assistance that the NSC has received from the Talbot County government, the United Fund of Talbot County, American Legion Post 77, and grant funding from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. “Those are our annual funding sources. We appreciate them seeing the need as well as donating to our needs.” However, Sandra is equally appreciative of the community members who have donated as well, whether it is their time, a monetary donation or a donation of goods. “I’ve been encouraged and impressed by the way Talbot County works together,” she says. “When they support us, they support families. We are all connected in some way, shape or form, and none of us knows when we may need a referral to an agency.” The NSC is “in great need of volunteers” as they approach winter and the holidays. Sandra asks that anyone interested call (410) 822-5015 and let the Center know of their interest in helping with the programs or in the office. Sandra reflects, “It’s a self-rewarding feeling when we’re able to make a positive impact on a household or a family.” On October 31st Sandra left the NSC to start on a new path of advocacy and sup- LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE, ODD JOBS, LEAF CLEANING, MOWING, FIREWOOD & SNOW REMOVAL Great Boating Location )ORDWLQJGRFNVZ···VOLSV*RUJHRXV ZDWHUVLGHSRRO3ULVWLQHKHDGVVKRZHUVODXQGU\ One of the Chesapeake’s Most Beautiful Marinas! 7LOJKPDQ2Q&KHVDSHDNH0DULQD 9HU\ Competitive Rates!

While the The Salvation Army offers hope and help to our neighbors in need throughout the year, the holiday season is their busiest time when community support is needed the most. For the December holidays, the Salvation Army sponsors two programs to make the season brighter for those in need: Angel Tree Adoptions and the Red Kettle Drive. The Angel Tree Adoption initiative seeks to provide Christmas gifts to underprivileged children in the five counties that consist of the Upper and Mid Shore. The Salvation Army identifies children in need and shares their “wish list” with community members by placing their information on Angel Trees at businesses, churches, and other locations. Organizations and businesses are encouraged to sponsor an Angel Tree at their location or commit to supporting a specific number of children in the Angel Tree program. Individuals can also participate by choosing a child to support from an Angel Tree in their area. The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Drive is one of the most recognized Salvation Army Programs and one of the most popular charitable programs during the holidays. Red kettles are placed outside of local businesses throughout the holiday season to raise funds for year-round assistance programs including disaster relief, housing and homeless services, veterans services, elderly care and much more.

MICHAELS, MD Register Now for 16th Bay to Ocean Writers Conference 2013 David DeBoy will be bringing to you his crazy carnival of Christmas Carols, audience participation, surprises and fun for all ages as he performs hits from his two best-selling CD’s, “Crabs for Christmas for Twenty Years” and “Crabs for Christmas Live!” These songs and comedy routines are wild, hilarious, touching and full of fun and Hons – just like Balwamer! You’ll laugh at “The Biggest Star in Hampden,” you’ll learn what it’s like to fall in love with a “Baltimore Hon,” you’ll discover Christmas along the Chesapeake as “Santa’s Setting Sail,” and you’ll sing along as David leads the audience in his perennial hit “Crabs for Christmas.” Celebrate the season like a true Balti-moron! Join David DeBoy and his Holiday Hons for a real Bawlamer Bash! In 1981 David DeBoy's hit single, "Crabs for Christmas" descended on an unsuspecting Baltimore. More than 10,000 records (remember those vinyl singles?) were sold in four weeks. The catchy chorus, the genuine Bawlamerese accent and the strange plot line of a grown man asking Santa to deliver Crabs for Christmas has continued to delight audiences and radio listeners for more than two decades. Michael Harrison, longtime director of the Baltimore Opera Company called it “The coolest song ever written.” And who are we to argue? In 2001 David celebrated that single with a CD full of fun entitled “Crabs For Christmas For Twenty Years” which continues to sell in the thousands every holiday season. Now, you can join David and his Holiday Hons at The Talbot County Senior Center, 5 p.m. Thursday, November 29. Deadline to purchase tickets is November 27.

That scenario was the norm for many decades.” Marquette talked about some alternative publishing options now available to authors. “With the advent of self-publishing, print-on-demand (POD) and electronic books, everything’s changed. A popular method right now is to be a self-published author and to reach out directly to readers on the Internet, publishing through a website such as www.amazon.com.” “In addition to being the leading seller of print books and electronic books (ebooks), Amazon is now the recognized giant in the book publishing industry. The process of self-publishing one’s books with Amazon is simpler and faster than more traditional methods, and gets books into the readers’ hands much more quickly,” Marquette said. “After publishing a book, one of the most challenging jobs an author faces is marketing the book to make readers aware it exists.” One of the most attractive features of publishing with Amazon, as Marquette as other writers have learned, is that Amazon provides extensive marketing support. “Each author is responsible for promoting their own books, and is generally most successful when using a variety of methods. Purchasing advertising in newspapers and magazines can be successful. Having an appealing and entertaining website is also a must for most writers, as are blogs. But probably what’s made the most dramatic change in marketing anything at all is the online social network, including Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.” Marquette’s five novels are available on Amazon in ebook and print versions, and also in local bookstores. She’s the author of Almost Mine and Good Fridays, as well as In Over My Head, Too Close For Words, and Suitable For Framing, the first three titles in her Chesapeake Conference Center mystery series. The first chapter, a synopsis, and reviews for each of Marquette’s books are available on her website www.dianemarquette.com. Marquette has been involved with the coordination of the Bay to Ocean Writers Conference since 2000, and credits attending her first “BTO” conference with getting her started on her path to serious writing. The next conference will be Saturday, February 23, 2013, at Chesapeake College in Wye Mills, MD. For more information visit www.baytoocean.com. November 30, December 1 & 2 Motivational Theatre Presents New Play at Their Annual “Friendraiser” Hugh Gregory Gallagher Motivational Theatre’s Annual ‘Friendraiser’ Celebration is Saturday, December 1, in Easton featuring the new one-act play “Ten Seconds” and an act of monologues. New York area playwright Brian C. Petti is the 2012 winner of the "Carlton E. Spitzer Excellence in Writing" award presented by the HGGMT, Inc for his play “Ten Seconds”. The ‘Friendraiser’ Celebration is an evening to honor and welcome friends old and new to Motivational Theatre. This catered event will also feature a balloon raffle for fabulous prizes. Two regular priced performances are scheduled, one will be in Oxford on Friday, November 30, and another is a Sunday matinee, December 2 in St Michaels. “Ten Seconds is a powerful play which illustrates the negative effects our perceptions of, and actions toward, people with challenges can have,” states HGGMT artistic director, Anita Tecce. The roles are moving and riveting; substantial roles that offer an opportunity for actors to challenge their talent. Author Petti comments, “The opening scene of Ten Seconds actually came to me in a dream, one of the few worthwhile ideas I've ever gotten that way. It was most probably informed by my autistic sister Ann. I didn't intend the play to be a "message" play--I had this dramatic idea in the first scene that I wanted to see through to the end. When it was done, I found that the situation had a lot to do with empathy, understanding and identification.” Brian C. Petti's work has appeared in numerous Off-Off Broadway theaters and he was the winner of the Humboldt State University National Play Contest (Next Year in Jerusalem). Masquerade was staged at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York by Ten Grand Productions. He has also had productions in New York by the American Theater of Actors, Inc.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care month and the time to recognize the importance of hospice throughout the nation. The word "hospice" stems from the Latin word "hospitium" meaning guesthouse. It was originally used to describe a place of shelter for weary and sick travelers returning from religious pilgrimages. In the 1960's, Dr. Cicely Saunders, a British physician began the modern hospice movement by establishing St. Christopher's Hospice near London. St. Christopher's organized a team approach to professional caregiving, and was the first program to use modern pain management techniques to compassionately care for the dying. The first hospice in the United States was established in New Haven, Connecticut in 1974. Today there are more than 4,700 hospice programs in the United States. In 1981, the Talbot Hospice Foundation started in an office in the Talbot Health Department. Hospice is not a place but a concept of care. Eighty percent of hospice care is provided in the patient's home, family member's home and in nursing homes. The Chesapeake Upholstery Third Generation Quality Craftsmanship for Fine Furniture, Upholstery & Repair 410-228-5266 Cambridge, MD Talbot Hospice Guest Wing assists with caregiving to residents of Talbot Hospice. The following hospice facts are designated by the Hospice Foundation of America: •Hospice is a special concept of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. •Hospice care neither prolongs life nor hastens death. Hospice staff and volunteers offer a specialized knowledge of medical care, including pain management. •The goal of hospice care is to improve the quality of a patient's last days by offering comfort and dignity. •Hospice care is provided by a team-oriented group of specially trained professionals, volunteers and family members. •Hospice addresses all symptoms of a dis- 41 [email protected] ease, with a special emphasis on controlling a patient's pain and discomfort. •Hospice deals with the emotional, social and spiritual impact of the disease on the patient and the patient's family and friends. •Hospice offers a variety of bereavement and counseling services to families before and after a patient's death.

Survivors Offering Support (SOS), which is funded by a grant from the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, provides breast cancer patients with highly trained mentors who have completed breast cancer treatment. These mentors offer knowledge, a shared experience and empathetic support. Women interested in becoming SOS mentors first contact Edla Coleman, Shore Regional Breast Center’s SOS Coordinator, to inquire about training. “After training, mentors must be recommended by two doctors,” says Coleman. “Mentors are well trained and education is ongoing,” The SOS program focuses on helping women deal with the psycho-social aspects of the disease. The program also offers information from physicians, nurses, physical therapists and other experts. As a breast cancer survivor, Coleman understands the importance of the compassionate support that volunteer mentors provide. “Ideally the patient is referred to SOS soon after diagnosis,” she says. “However, Mobile Denture Care "We Come To You" Services *Premium Cosmetic Dentures & Partials *Hard and Soft Relines *Denture Repairs Mobile Denture Services Available to Homebound Elderly. We travel to Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities & Private Residences in Talbot County Maryland.

I wanted to go back to being me.” Smith’s reaction is not unusual. A diagnosis of breast cancer, like any serious disease, is a life-changing moment. “My mind was numb, like I was on the outside looking in. I felt like it happened to someone else,” says Janet Gadow, an SOS mentor. “I tried to get everything done, to maintain normalcy. You don’t feel strong, but you keep moving. You’re stronger than the disease.” The first SOS program began in 2004. Its founder, Denise O’Neill, was a young mother with three adopted children when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “Many support groups were available, but none offered a program like SOS,” says Coleman. “When Denise created SOS, she examined the best of the best programs and collaborated with many professionals in related fields. I joined SOS, was trained and worked as a mentor. I was later hired to become a coordinator because of my professional background and passion for the program.” Today the SOS program is integrated into the standard of care offered in breast centers and cancer centers at 11 Maryland hospitals and one in Washington, D.C. A vital part of the mentor program is assisting with the emotional aspect of cancer care. “There is a lot of face-to-face mentoring,” Coleman explains. “These interactions are driven by patient need; it’s not just one phone call.” Mentors often develop long-term relationships with their patients and many times friendships form. Gabrielle Smith already has made that strong connection. “After the SOS meeting, we just sat and talked,” Smith says. “We have a lot in common.” This mentor/patient relationship appeals to Morgan Mann, a breast cancer survivor who experienced an outpouring of support from the Cambridge community when she was diagnosed. This encouragement was an “unexpected result of cancer,” Mann says, and she wanted to give something in return. “I’m not comfortable with (continued on page 43) 42 continued from page 42 Accepting New Patients All Ages Welcome Survivors Offering Support walks and other events,” says Mann, who is now an SOS mentor. “SOS gives me the opportunity to give back in a way I’m comfortable with.” The need to give back is strong among SOS mentors. “It’s nice to help others and answer some of the questions I had when I was going through treatment,” Gadow says. Talking about breast cancer is often difficult. “You don’t want to share your feelings with people close to you,” Mann says. “This is another good aspect of SOS because you have someone to share these thoughts with.” In addition to the Volunteer Mentor program, SOS sponsors Partner Support Workshops that give husbands and significant others tools to understand what their loved ones are going through and provide guidance on caring for themselves and for their loved one. Once a breast cancer patient completes the initial medical treatment, the Transition to Wellness Workshop provides a variety of coping tools and information to help her move forward to life after breast cancer. All of these SOS programs are offered through the Shore Regional Breast Center at Memorial Hospital in Easton. SOS serves 22 percent of breast cancer JACK H.

Dr. Karlawish, a Professor of Medicine, Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania, is an internationally recognized expert in ethics and policy and is among the leaders in examining how we diagnose and treat common diseases of aging such as Alzheimers disease. He is the author of the critically acclaimed novel Open Wound: The Tragic Obsession of Dr. William Beau- mont. Hailed by the New York Times as “a marvelous new book,” the story examines how the seemingly dispassionate life of the physician and scientist is in fact as a passionate as the artist, explorer, or adventurer.

Tidewater-Easton Rotary Club Provides Books to PageTurners Book Clubs Club’s donation underwrites costs for at-risk middle school girls book clubs The Rotary Club of Tidewater-Easton recently presented PageTurners: Girls Who Read to Achieve with the funds needed to underwrite the costs of providing books to each Talbot County participant in their program for the 2012-2103 school year. The Easton-based non-profit organization uses the discussion of literature as a tool to empower at-risk adolescent girls as readers, leaders, thinkers, community members, and future graduates. “We are especially thankful to the Tidewater-Easton Rotary club for this donation,” comments Elizabeth Devlin, founder and executive director of Page Turners. “The books we provide our girls are essential to the work we do and they are the foundation of our curriculum. By giving our girls copies of the books they read in PageTurners to keep as their own, they also have the opportunity to develop their own home libraries—something they would otherwise be unable to do.” During the 2012-2013 academic year, PageTurners will work with 50 girls in sixth through eighth grades attending Easton Middle School and St. Michaels Elementary and Middle/High Schools. “We were thrilled to partner with PageTurners and make such a significant impact on their program for this academic year,” comments Tidewater-Easton Rotary Club Harry Rieck. “Literacy has always been a priority for Rotary and our membership felt it was important to make an impact on this important issue close to home. We are truly inspired by the work of PageTurners and the difference their work makes in the lives of young women in our community.” About PageTurners PageTurners: Girls Who Read to Achieve is a 501(c)(3) organization that is building a network of after school book clubs to empower at-risk middle school girls. PageTurners uses the discussion of literature as a tool for empowering these young women to be self-confident leaders in the commu- 11,000 Square Feet of Antiques & Collectibles We Buy Antiques/Estates/Climate Controlled/Tag Sales 120 Year of Experience Collectively OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK ~ 10am - 5pm BOOTHS AVAILABLE 24690 Meeting House Road, Denton, MD ~ 410-479-2200 Gobble Gobble til you Wobble...

I also had some errands to run. So I had to pack all the three kids in their car seats and I headed towards the mall. A car filled with kids is equal to a wild hurricane. I was kind of losing it; the screaming (they were singing joyously - but my bad day made it sound like screams) by the kids was giving me a headache. All I could say was, "PLEASE BE QUIET" - but they were just enjoying their day out, fascinated with the ability to scream. My irritation, restlessness, and routine life just got a hold of me. I didn't know what to do, so I said, "That's it! Everybody out! I am going to leave all three of you on the roadside and go home. You are too much to handle." There was absolute pin drop silence in the car. I felt guilty for a minute. My 4-year old son, David, looked at me and said, "Mom! Aren't we gifts from Jesus to you? Why would you want to leave us on the road?" My anger just disappeared and I started laughing. His sentence was so profound that I could only laugh, even though the truth brought tears in my eyes. How could I have been so grouchy? The kids Looking for Ashlie Neild? Now located at Glam 350 N. Aurora Street, Easton, Maryland Call for an appointment 410.310.8088 52 started laughing and after that their screams - which I guess is normal with kids, was music to my ears. When I took them for a stroll in the mall, a lady came up to me and said, "I wish I was in your shoes. It's been 12 years since I got married and I don't have kids." I had an opportunity to pray with her and minister to her. Kids are a blessing from the Lord. Disciplining them and bringing them up in the Lord is a responsibility laid upon each parent, but taking time to enjoy with them everyday, even amidst our problems, is really worth it....!!!! It's nice to be in kids shoes too......we can learn from them to have fun even on a hot stuffy day. Author Unknown Burnt Toast When I was a little Boy, I remember one day in particular when she had made breakfast. She must have been very tired. My mom placed a plate of eggs, and rather burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed. Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me was I ready for school. I don’t remember what I replied, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jam on that toast and eat every bite! When I got up from the table, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I’ll never forget what he said: ‘Baby, I love burned toast.’ Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, ‘Your Momma works hard day after day and she’s real tired. And besides a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!’ You know, life is full of imperfect things…..and imperfect people. I’m not the best football player either. Moral: What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults – and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences – is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

The evening will feature cocktails and hors-d’oeuvres, a seated three-course dinner with wine selections, and dancing to the music of the XPD’s, a musical group known for their versatility in playing pop, jazz, rock and R&B. Invitations to the gala were mailed in September, but co-chair Nancy Parnell wants people to understand that everyone is invited to the gala. “We send invitations to people involved in Christmas in St. Michaels activities and to those who have attended in the past, but we can’t possibly know the names and addresses of everyone who might be interested in coming,” said Parnell. “Reservations are required, so anyone interested should call us at 410-7450745 or visit our web site at www.christmasinstmichaels.org.” Tickets for the gala are $125 per person, and black tie is optional. All funds raised by the Holiday Gala and other Christmas in St. Michaels activities go to local non-profit organizations selected each year as beneficiaries of this communitywide charitable event. Christmas in St. Michaels will take place this year on December 7, 8 and 9 in and around St. Michaels, MD. In addition to the Holiday Gala, it will include a Christmas parade, tour of homes, Breakfast with Santa, Santa’s Wonderland, gingerbread house display, the Marketplace for handcrafted gifts, a celebration of choirs, and many other holiday festivities.
