Thank you to everyone who made our 2025 Annual Picnic such a joyful and memorable day!
Nearly 200 friends and neighbors joined us under blue skies and sunshine, with Mother Nature truly showing off for the occasion. From delicious food and refreshing drinks to lawn games and laughter-filled conversations, it was a day full of community and connection.
The manor tours were a big hit! Each one was packed with 20–30 guests eager to learn more about the rich history of this special place we all care so much about.
We were especially thrilled to welcome many new faces this year—and even more excited to share that 8 new members joined M-BELT during the event! Thanks to the generosity of our raffle donors and participants, we also raised over $700 in support of our mission.
A few heartfelt shout-outs:
- Wegman’s – for their generous food donation
- Scott and Doug – for beautifully preparing the Manor grounds
- Scott and John – for working the grill like champs
- David, Andrea, Jamie, Audrey, Mark, and Doug – for your setup help
- Mark – for providing much-appreciated shuttle rides
- David and Audrey – for selling raffle tickets with charm and cheer
- And last but definitely not least…
To all the amazing volunteers who stayed late to help clean up: you were superheroes. We would still be out there cleaning up if it weren’t for you!
We’re already looking forward to next year. Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 11, 2026!
