SPECIAL ISSUE

TOWN HARBOR

The Town of Cape Charles is proud to report that Smitty Dize, Harbor Master, received information today that the Town Harbor will be designated a Virginia Clean Marina.  This is no small honor and the Town is proud to share this designator with Bay Creek Marina making the Town Harbor and Bay Creek Marina the only two (2) harbors out of the eleven (11) harbors on the Eastern Shore to attain this distinction. The Town is planning an event with the State of Virginia to honor this achievement in November 2008. Details are forthcoming.

Congratulations to Smitty, Assistant Harbor Master Kent Pruitt and former Crew Member Kathleen Stevens.

EASTERN SHORE RURAL HEALTH SYSTEM’S SAFE KIDS COALITION

In the last issue of The Gazette we listed a date of Tuesday, November 11, 2008 for a presentation by Faye Sandsbury-Godbey , Safe Kids Coordinator, regarding trends and programs on the Eastern Shore. Please note that the date listed will need to be changed due to the fact that this is Veteran’s Day and the Town Hall will not be open. The Town is awaiting another date for this informative and interesting presentation. 

GIRL SCOUTS, BIRDHOUSES & THE GREENING OF THE EASTERN SHORE

The Town of Cape Charles will host Girl Scout Troop 191 (Exmore) & Troop 1456 (Melfa) on Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 10:00 AM at the corner of Mason Avenue & Bay Avenue (Near the flag pole).

A special thanks to Troop 191 & Troop 1456 for such a thoughtful gift to this community. Cookies & cider will be served and the public is welcome to attend this free event.
