It’s hard to believe that three weeks from now we’ll be hosting our Sea to Sea for MBC kick-off event in Annapolis MD!
Our trip begins with a kick-off party at our east coast headquarters in Annapolis Maryland on 8 April 2015. Thanks to the efforts of volunteer DeWayne Wilcher, we have secured a fabulous venue…the President’s Conference Center West, in the Miller Senate Office Building, Annapolis MD. The event takes place from 3 to 7pm and is open to the public.
