It is time once again for another monthly feast at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Glenwood. After taking two months off because the regular feast day fell on a holiday, Lynne Quinn is excited to announce that an Italian Feast will be held on Thursday, Jan. 22, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Dinner will cost $9 per person, with a cap of $30 for a family. As always, children 5 and under are free. For more information, call the church at 410-489-4035. Dinner will be prepared by Smokin' Hot Bar and Grille in Glenwood, and you can eat at the church or take the food home with you.
The beneficiary of this month's feast will be the education fund for the children of Tom Palermo. Palermo was killed in a bicycle accident in Baltimore at the end of December. He is survived by his wife, Rachel, a 4-year-old old son named Sam, and a 6-year-old daughter named Sadie.
In an attempt to ease the burden on his family the proceeds raised from the feast will benefit the children's education fund. If you are interested in helping the family, money can also be sent to http://www.youcaring.com/tuition-fundraiser/children-of-tom-palermo/283939 or mailed to Palermo Children's Educational Trust, c/o Molloy Investment Group, Stifel Nicholaus, One South St., 30th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202.
The Glenelg High School boys and girls track and field team competed at the Bishop Laughlin Games Invitational in New York City at the end of December. Several members of the team recorded times that were personal bests for them. Team members also recorded times that place them among the top finishers in the country.
The highlight was a third place performance by senior Calvin Pitney, who cleared 14 feet in the pole vault, a state best. Congratulations to all the members of the track and field team.
Doris Walsh of the Howard County Beekeepers Association is pleased to announce that it is almost time for the annual Beginning Beekeeping Short Course. Classes will be held on five consecutive Tuesday evenings, beginning Tuesday, Feb. 17, from 7 until 9:30 p.m. at the Howard County Fairgrounds dining hall. A field day, where the students will experience a hive inspection and help to install a package of honey bees, will be scheduled when the weather permits, usually in April.
Topics covered will include honey bee biology, beekeeping laws in Howard County, obtaining and installing your bees, getting and setting up the equipment, inspecting your hives, bee diseases, and products of the hive. Registration is now open for this popular class. In the last few years 80 to 100 people have taken the course each year to learn about honeybees. If you are interested make sure you sign up before the class is full.
For more information, or to register, go to http://www.HowardCountyBeekeepers.org and click on the "Classes" tab. The Howard County Beekeepers Association is a friendly group of honey beekeepers which meets on the second Tuesday every month in the Howard County Fairgrounds dining hall. They are always happy to have interested people join them at their meetings to learn more about honeybees.
