Hello and Happy 2019!

I hope that Christmas was a special time for you and your family, and I also hope and pray that 2019 will be an outstanding year for all of you. As for Crisfield, the city is getting off to an outstanding start of the New Year. There are many promising things underway, and it feels to me like things are coming together from all angles. This newsletter, brought to you by the Greater Crisfield Action Coalition (GCAC), gives you a sampling: we are preserving our heritage; our schools are improving; we have projects on the horizon for recreation and for youth; we are getting recognized in the region; and we are positioning ourselves for growth. That’s A LOT for the first month of the year, and just like the year, we are only getting started…!

​Hello and Merry Christmas!

As I write the December 2018 Greater Crisfield Action Coalition Newsletter, I am reflecting on the season, a time of year when we gather together to celebrate with family and friends. This year Crisfield has expanded its Christmas parade and accompanying activities, andmerchants and other organizations have gotten into the spirit with bright and appealing Christmas decorations (see attached pictures), gift ideas, and special treats and activities for kids. I believe this will be an especially fun Christmas season in Crisfield this year.

Here are some of the Christmas highlights as well as other news that leads us into 2019 and beyond:

CHRISTMAS IN CRISFIELD

Hello, good people!

I am happy to once again bring you the Greater Crisfield Action Coalition’s November ‘Good News’ Newsletter. We’re in that in between time when the summer season is winding down and the holiday seasons are before us. Still, there is much ‘Good News’ to report:

Hello, good people,

I am late in producing the October GCAC Newsletter because I have been traveling. I just got back from California last weekend after 11 days in San Francisco and Palm Springs. Earlier in the year I visited San Antonio and Corpus Christi. And before that Virginia Beach. When I’m traveling, I can’t help thinking about Crisfield and all the natural beauty and undeveloped assets we have that other places don’t. I enjoyed getting away, but it didn’t come close to comparing with what we have right here.

GCAC is continuing to explore the development of our community’s many assets, and plans to focus on several large projects as part of a comprehensive waterfront development project, which will be outlined a little later.  In any case, while I have been away, Crisfield ‘Good News’ continues…..
