2026 Annual Business/Potluck Meeting, New Officers plus Talk and Tour of Rich Hill

CCASM held its annual meeting with a Potluck supper on Saturday May 9 outside at Historic Rich Hill.

We sat under a shade tree near the rail fence. Linda brought a table for the food. Ned brought four card tables and twelve chairs. There were nine of us: Mike, Linda and Doug, Denise and Joe, Elsie, Claudia, Peggy, and Ned.  

Elsie "volunteered" to be in charge of the annual business meeting and read the President's Report.  Of course, she also gave the treasurer's report.  Linda provided the minutes for the last meeting (and took minutes for this meeting).   Ned read a presentation to Carol, the retiring CCASM president.   

The business meeting was first followed by the meal.  The food was great.   After eating while we were sitting outside, Mike Mazzeo gave a preliminary talk about the rehabilitation of Historic Rich Hill.  He gave a great talk when we were inside.

Michael J. Mazzeo, Jr. is the Vice-President of the Historical Society of Charles County and Chair of the Friends of Rich Hill.
