CRCC Charts 2011 Events

 The Crofton Regional Community Center Board of Directors held their first of what they hope will become annual meetings March 16th.

The Essex Bank hosted the gathering geared at determining the group’s future goals for the upcoming year. The CRCC received approval to pay the cost of a feasibility study.

Board members determined a professional fundraiser will cost too much at this time. They also decided against spending funds on a professional grant writer in an effort to save money. Both fundraising and grant writing initiatives will remain objectives for future CRCC goals.

The CRCC has also started planning for Crofton Night June 15th. The game between the Bowie Bay Sox and Reading Phillies will be a community family fun night to celebrate the end of the school year.

Nashville recording artist and Crofton resident Ashley Forrest will sing the National Anthem.
