November 30 is Giving Tuesday |
|
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Join the movement and give – each Tuesday and every day – whether it’s some of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community.

Annapolis Maritime Museum Has Reopened! |
|
The wait is OVER!
The Annapolis Maritime Museum is open again! They are so excited to welcome you back, and share their rich maritime history and ecology with you.
Though the museum has physically recovered from the water damage, AMM has experienced a financial deficit from closures and repairs. Help them bridge the gap by visiting the museum and shopping in their in-person or online store. All proceeds from the next two weeks will directly impact their post-flood recovery.
