Asbury Solomons held its 15th annual Mardi Gras fundraiser in support of Calvert Hospice on February 10. The event raised $4,900 to support Calvert Hospice.
According to Pat and Barbara O’Neal, the event’s organizers for the last five years, over 70 Asbury residents attended along with their guests.
Representatives from Calvert Hospice were also in attendance and spoke for a short time. The Chesapeake Swing Band entertained everyone through the evening, creating a festive atmosphere. Food was provided by the Asbury Dining Department; they offered a mixture of New Orleans-inspired and traditional hors d’oeuvres as well as a cash bar. Asbury Administration also provided a large amount of support to the event and its organizers. The evening also featured a 50/50 raffle and the crowning of the 2018 Mardi Gras King and Queen.
Calvert Hospice would like to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who made this event possible.
