GADD Crab Feast - A Perfect Summer Evening at Kentmorr Beach Bar & Grill


GADD members arrived in style—some by boat, others by a GADD sponsored chartered bus —ready for an evening of great food, cold drinks, and waterfront fun.


Each ticket included all-you-can-eat steamed crabs, corn on the cob, caesar salad, mac and cheese, steamed shrimp, andouille sausage, and steamed potatoes.


We’re grateful to our bar sponsor, Kitchen & Bath Creations, for keeping the drinks flowing with ice-cold beer and freshly squeezed crushes.


And of course, we can’t forget to thank Mother Nature. With a light Chesapeake Bay breeze and golden hour skies, the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. We’re already counting down the days until the next one!


July Networking Events

Our July 3rd Happy Hour & Networking event was held at Urbano.


Our members showed up not just in patriotic colors, but with big energy and even bigger support for each other’s goals.


Cheers to meaningful conversations, genuine connections, and helping each other grow—one powerful meetup at a time.


The next Monthly Happy Hour & Networking event is scheduled for August 7th at Level.

The GADD Monthly Breakfast is a great way to kickstart your day. We gather every third Thursday of the month at the Market House in Annapolis at 7:15a.m.


We are looking for members to sign up to be a presenter at an upcoming monthly breakfast.


Presentations typically last ten minutes or less, followed by a Q&A session that allows attendees to learn more about you.


Please contact our Events Chair, Rachel Hack, at rachel@splashrecruiting.com to sign up or for more details.


The next Monthly Networking Breakfast is scheduled for August 21st.
