Prince Frederick, MD – The Calvert Collaborative for Children and Youth (3CY) want to publicly thank our elected officials for honoring our founder Marie Andrews with resolutions acknowledging her decades of volunteering in Calvert.

Thank you Calvert County Board of Commissioners; Mike Hart, Pat Nutter, Steve Weems, Thomas Hejl and Evan Slaughenhoupt, Jr. for recognizing Marie and her efforts to better our community.ย  The Maryland State Senate and Senate Leader Thomas V. โ€œMikeโ€ Miller also signed a resolution for Marieโ€™s commitment to serving her community.ย ย  And, thank you to the Maryland House of Delegates and Speaker Michael E. Busch,ย  Chief Clerk Sylvia C. Siegert, and our local delegates; Mark Fisher, Tony Oโ€™Donnell and Michael A. Jackson for their resolution of acknowledgement and best wishes to Marie.

The 3CY also appreciate all the community members, many whom also volunteer in the county, for attending Marieโ€™s celebratory reception at Solomons-Asbury Retirement Community.ย  We all enjoyed those who shared their stories about Marie and her unrelenting efforts to make Calvert its best. Marie has truly given her best to her community. And, at 92, Marie says she is retiring from her arduous schedule, but as many said at the reception, we will continue to hear her voice to advocate for the betterment of our county.

– Guffrie Smith, President ofย The Calvert Collaborative for Children and Youth
