Wow, what a spring. The coronavirus pandemic has taken over our lives. It forced the cancellation of some of our board meetings and our June picnic.

July has cracked the window open a bit, so watch your email for the status of upcoming events.

I am very hopeful that we will be able to gather again for our picnic Aug. 29.

Our charity crab feast will be different this year due to the pandemic, but you and your friends can still enjoy an all-you-can-eat feast at either Higgins Crab House locations.

Here’s how it works this year: After purchasing your tickets, you will be able to sit down at either Higgins Crab House locations anytime in September or October, except Saturdays after 4 p.m., and depending on which location is open at your chosen time. You must make a reservation, and tables will be limited to no more than six patrons per table.

While we will not be able to host a gathering of 300 crab-pickers all together as we have in the past, the menu will remain the same and includes regular draft beer. For tickets or more information, please call or email me or any board member.

This year’s charity is the Ocean City Police Department’s scholarship fund and other local OC nonprofit organizations.

At our August picnic meeting, we will elect officers for the coming year. If you are interested in serving as an officer or director, please call or email Julie Valcourt at 301-908-7789 or jvalcourt@gmail.com.

It has been my honor to serve as your president for the past three years. I appreciate the support and encouragement you have given me, and I know you will extend the same to my successor.

Hope you have a happy and safe summer, and I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.
