Wow! What a great turnout by the residents of our Association. It was great to see all the concerned citizens of Breezy Point in the room. It was great to have the Sheriffs Department, Calvert County Parks and Rec. So sorry Linda Kelly couldn't make due to a family emergency.

Look for a letter from the community association regarding all the topics we talked about as well as all the answers from the representative of Calvert County on what can happen in the short term and what we can look forward to over the summer.

Don't forget to go to the County Beach and get your passes this year, they will be asking residents to present their passes when they go into the park.

Looking forward to a great summer at the beach!

E-mail me with any comments or questions you may have from the meeting!
