Dinner Option

There is no formal dinner plan for this year. A reservation will be made at the Old Mill Crab House in Delmar, MD. This is a short 10-minute drive from the hotels. Since we have no sponsors this year, dinner will be a personal expense.

There are many other dinner options in Route 13 north in Salisbury (Applebee's, Chiles, Outback, Zia's Italian, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc).

Golf Option (June 22nd at 1:30PM):

In the past few years we have had a golf outing to close out the retreat. We will do so this year as well, although we will not have corporate sponsors. Tee times will be lined up at Green Hill Country Club We will pay at the pro shop, so no prepayment is necessary.
