Here’s information on some events happening around the city (and our “suburbs”) that What’s Up? Publishing recently received past our print deadlines. So I’m publicizing them on line.
Just a reminder that the London Town Foundation, which supports Historic London Town and Gardens in Edgewater, is having a spring benefit for the first time ever.
“Rediscovering London Town” will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. this Friday, March 28, at the Visitors Center at 839 Londontown Road, with a silent auction, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and desserts. From 5 to 6 p.m. you can take free tours of the gardens, the William Brown House, the carpenter shop, the Lord Mayor’s Tenement and the archaeology lab.
Tickets are $60. For information, e-mail events@historiclondontown.org or call 410-222-1919. Proceeds will benefit this little county gem. If you haven’t ever visited it, plan on a spring day and see the marvelous azaleas in bloom. And read our article about the site in our June issue of What’s Up? Annapolis magazine.

Also on our Web site we will have an exclusive article about pharmaceuticals and other items in the Chesapeake Bay. Related to the Chesapeake Bay, former Maryland State Senator and University of Maryland Professor Gerald W. Winegrad will talk about “What Needs to be Done to Restore the Bay? as part of the evening lecture series sponsored by the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. The talk on the status of the Bay’s restoration and what needs to happen is at 7 p.m. April 16 in the Schmidt Conference Center at 647 Contees Wharf Road, also in Edgewater. Among many activities, Gerald was responsible for many Bay initiatives including the phosphate detergent ban. He received the 2002 Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
