President's Message

As we begin to prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, I continue to be amazed by the generosity of our membership.  So many of you have given your time and donations to help our communities while trying to help homeowners buy and sell homes before the end of the year.  From donations of toys, food, time, and money your contributions have made our membership a vital part of Kent and Queen Anne's Counties.

 

Happy Thanksgiving and I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at our General Membership Meeting and Luncheon December 8th at the Chester River Yacht & Country Club.

 

Linda Austin, BAAR President
