- Up to 3-sessions of private grief counseling

Promoting the Positives in DCPS: A Chat with Valerie Goff | |
What exactly does a communications and community outreach specialist do in Dochester County Public Schools? If you’re Valerie Goff, you try to let the public know about the positives at DCPS.
“Because there are a lot of good things going on in our schools,” said Goff, “and human nature is such that a lot of communication focuses on the negative. And I try to focus on the positive because the positive vastly outweighs the negative.”
For example, Goff was recently at South Dorchester School while the principal was talking to two seventh-grade boys who were about to go and hoist the American flag for the day. Goff followed them and took some pictures of the activity, which she posted on the DCPS Facebook page, something she does frequently. When the photos got a considerable positive reaction from the community, she realized that many people were unaware the flag was still raised each day at the schools. Apparently, modern schools are a bit of a mystery to the general public because, for safety reasons, they’re not as open as they used to be.
“And so, I just do little things really to share that with them,” said Goff, who attended DCPS as a student.

Chesapeake College names new Dean of Students | |
WYE MILLS — Dr. Miriam Osborne-Elliott keeps a basket of KIND bars in her office and urges visitors take one when they leave, not just because she frequently meets with snack-loving college students, but as a reminder to both give and receive kindness.
A commitment to kindness is the philosophy that Osborne-Elliott brings to her new role as Chesapeake College’s dean of students, according to a press release from the school.
“Students usually end up in this office for something negative,” Osborne-Elliott said. “They may have a complaint or issue that needs to be addressed. I try to make every meeting end positively with a solution to the problem and a plan to move forward.”

Meals til Monday Fundraiser Extravaganza
We're saying "thank you" first!
Imagine that an organization was able to give out over $400,000 worth of food to residents of Dorchester County at no cost; well, that's just what meals til Monday was able to do in 2022! Until January of this year, the Maryland food Bank allowed us to "purchase" food at no charge by using Federal Covid funds to cover the cost. That's nearly half a million pounds of food! Unfortunately, now we have to pay to help our children and friends in the community who desperately need food assistance.
Meals til Monday will present our very first fundraising event on November 10th, 2023 at Breckenridge Barn in Linkwood. This "Night of Giving" will raise funds to provide even more food for our community.
Please plan to join us, to donate, or to sponsor.

All that Glitters: A Women's Metalsmith Collective Reception
This eclectic group of women met while taking classes in metalwork at Charmtree Jewelry Studio in Stevensville which is owned by Melissa Kay, one of the exhibitors. While they come from many different backgrounds and careers, they have found their bliss in jewelry-making and glass work.
It was early in 2022 that local artist, Linda Starling, who is a member of Main Street Gallery and who specializes in beach glass and silver jewelry, envisioned a holiday show at MSG with her Charmtree classmates. She says that after taking classes and working alongside all seven women and watching them grow not only in artistry but in friendship, she thought a show together might be an exciting next step. That first show was so successful that the artists decided to try it again and are happy to show together once more. Linda explains that these classmates have become an important network for her and each other. They routinely share ideas and new techniques and while working together they continually challenge each other. The extra added bonus, she says, has been the lasting friendships they have formed. Through their classes the artists have learned or improved upon their skills in fabrication, metal clay, soldering, enameling and more and all have continued in their education taking online classes and traveling to learn from some of the best in the jewelry industry.
Main Street Gallery is open Thursdays through Sundays from 11 to 5 and online shopping is always available at: mainstgallery.net. The gallery is located at 518 Poplar St. and is Cambridge‘s only artist-owned and operated cooperative. The gallery is currently reviewing work from prospective members and guest artists. Please contact them through their website or by calling 410–330–4659 if you are interested in being part of this vibrant artist community.
