Thank you to our hosts, Baroak at the Loews Annapolis Hotel and our event sponsor, the Oyster Recovery Partnership, for a
terrific Earth Day Celebration.
Our theme was a celebration of the 46th annual Earth Day and the bounty of the Bay last Thursday. About 125 people took part in that celebration with drinks, mussels, live music, fun, and information.
 The staff at Baroak and the Loews, Barbara McMahon (hotel general manager), Tracey Lyon-Mercado, Stephen Power, Baroak general manager Jason Bacci and Chef Maria made us most comfortable and provided excellent service and delicious complementary mussels to everyone along with a 20% discount  to those of us who stayed for a fabulous dinner. And we really appreciated the free parking provided to Green Drinkers.
We were also delighted that our event coincided with Baroak's live music calendar. As Jason said, "Our weekends start on Thursday." Because of that we were treated to the terrific music Mike Heuer. See our website for the full schedule of Thursday music at Baroak and a link to Mike's website.
The staff members of our event sponsor, the Oyster Recovery Partnership, were very busy telling our crowd about the work they do restoring the oyster population in the Bay. Executive Director Stephan Abel then announced the start of the Old Line Fish Company, which is, essentially, a community

 Particularly on the eve of Earth Day, it was great to get some good news about the Bay. Chesapeake Bay Program Director Nick DiPasquale. He spoke for a few minutes about how many of the measures of the health of the Bay are looking better than they have in years. Read more.
