A highlight of the evening was a legislative and community update from the entire District 18 legislative team. Each of our four legislators reviewed the recent session in Annapolis and took questions from the audience.  It was a very lively and wide ranging discussion covering prominent fiscal and social policies as well as local issues. RCA is pleased to provide this opportunity for our membership and we are grateful for the participation of the District 18 team.


COMMUNITY WELCOME SIGN PROJECT

Finally, the annual meeting included presentation of three design alternatives for the Rollingwood "welcome sign" project.  Fritz Hirst reviewed posters featuring three design options for consideration by the membership.  RCA will continue to reach out to the community prior to a vote by the membership on the preferred design.   See the designs up close and provide feedback here!
