Business After Hours & Ribbon Cutting:
MidShore Meals til Monday
March 27, 2025 - 5:30 p.m.
516 Race Street, Cambridge, MD
MidShore Meals til Monday does extraordinary work providing support for the youth in our community. Late last year they found themselves needing a new "home," and through the support in the community they found one. They are inviting everyone to a Business After Hours to show off, not only their new location at 516 Race Street in Cambridge, but also a Ribbon Cutting to celebrate their new truck. The small, dedicated team works tirelessly to feed the less fortunate children in our community by coordinating the efforts of a large congregation of volunteers.
We hope you will join us on Thursday, March 27 to welcome them to their new Downtown Cambridge location and to see for yourself how they do such great work. If you have not already been a volunteer, we believe this will make you want to find time and/or money to support them. There is plenty of parking in the City of Cambridge parking lot in the 500 block of Race Street.

Dorchester Chamber Announces 2025 Spedden Service Award Recipient | |
The Dorchester Chamber of Commerce presented the 2025 C. Robert “Bob” Spedden Service Award to Amanda Fenstermaker at their Annual Meeting on March 13, 2025.
Bob Spedden was a well-known and respected leader in the community. He demonstrated a real passion for the revitalization of the County and Cambridge. He served for several years on the Board of Directors of the Dorchester Chamber of Commerce and was the President in 1980-1981. He also served on the Cambridge Yacht Club Board of Governors, First National Bank Advisory Board, Dorchester Board of Realtors as President, and Director for the Maryland Association of Realtors. Bob founded the Committee of 100 that spawned revitalization efforts including the Dorchester County Visitors Center, the adjacent children's playground, Sailwind's Park, Governor's Hall, Richardson Maritime Museum, Choptank River Lighthouse, Downtown Harriett Tubman Museum, and the Dorchester Skipjack Committee - Nathan of Dorchester. He also served as the 1st President of Sailwinds Park Incorporated. His vision for economic development of Dorchester County also included the re-development of the former Eastern Shore State Hospital property into today's Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa & Marina.
The objective of the award is to recognize those individuals that share a similar passion to Bob’s and have worked to advance the economic wellbeing of our community. Sharon Spedden, Chamber Board Chairman in 2021 and daughter of Bob Spedden, presented the award to Amanda. She is the eighth recipient of the award and joins prior recipients Frank Narr, Gerry Boyle, Phil Feldman, Greg Whitten, Evelyn Townsend, Herschel Johnson, and Dr. Paul Brant.

Update from CWDI president Angie Hengst | |
The year has been off to a good start as we are working with the City and County to advance work on Cambridge Harbor. The Board had our Annual Meeting in January where we elected the officers for this year and assigned members to committees. These are the seats our Board Members are filling for this year:
- Angie Hengst – President; Communications & Outreach Committee, Chair
- Mike Frenz – Vice President; Finance Committee
- Natalie Chabot – Secretary; Finance Committee; Communications & Outreach Committee; CWDI appointee to Richardson Maritime Museum Board
- Frank Narr – Treasurer; Finance Committee, Chair; Planning Committee
- Tim Crosby – Planning Committee, Chair
- Gaver Nichols – Planning Committee
We do still have one vacant seat to be filled by a City appointee. We are looking forward to receiving a list of potential candidates from the City.
Also in January, the Planning Committee held a 4-day design charrette with our urban design consultant, Lew Oliver. Throughout the four days, Lew and his team met the CWDI Board, the City Planner, the City and County Managers along with representatives from the City and County Councils. The results of this work will be made available to the public and will be used as the basis for the RFP to the development community later this year. It is important that we present the development community with details on the desired look and feel for Cambridge Harbor. This will also ensure continuity across the site whether there is one developer or multiple developers chosen.
On January 15th we had a work session with Planning and Zoning to review the infrastructure design plans. This meeting was open to the public and I encourage you to watch the recording here.

Rest & Relaxation
Health and Wellness was a big focus at the event, from facial care to hair products, even few healthy treats. Ocean Elements Salt Spa and Float Center is a holistic healing center in Ocean City. Chief Relaxation Officer Jeanne Mills says women do so much and they have to take time to unwind.

SALISBURY, Md. – Arbor Day is coming to Delmarva, on April 9th. The Delmarva Shorebirds invite those in the forestry industry and tree services to recognize the importance of trees.
