Thanksgiving came to Seamen’s in a variety of ways:

Once again, Seamen’s hosted a Community Thanksgiving Dinner from 12:00 to 2:00 pm on Thanksgiving Day, with the assistance of an enthusiastic army of volunteers. With the experienced volunteer guidance of caterer and restauranteur Kim Comfort, preparations began on Tuesday evening with vegetable peeling and ran through late afternoon on Thursday for clean up. Approximately 257 guests were served in the Mariner’s Lounge as well as in the Library, some 117 more than last year! We were so grateful to receive donations of volunteer time; borrowed buffet servers; discounts for rented items; homemade cranberry sauce, breads, pies and other desserts; beautiful floral centerpieces for every table; and financial contributions.

A SPECIAL MUSIC EVENT – SONGS OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY
Monday, September 26, at Seamen’s.
Music starts at 7:00 pm, doors open at 6:30 pm
$5.00 donation requested at the door.

The music of cruising sailor/songwriter/raconteur Janie Meneely celebrates the people and places of Chesapeake Bay. She and partner Paul DiBlasi, who call themselves “Calico Jack” when they take the stage, captivate audiences with their evocative imagery and spot-on sense of Bay characters and traditions. Their songs echo the stories of the watermen and their communities and provide glimpses into Bay history and legend.

Paul DiBlassi was a long-time performer with the colorful Pyrates Royale, a mainstay of the Maryland Renaissance Festival near Annapolis, Md. His strong guitar work and powerful vocals give voice to much of Meneely’s material. He adds a sprinkling of classic work songs and ballads to Meneely’s mix of originals, broadening their scope to include music of the seven seas.
