President’s Message
Welcome to the 2024 Business Directory. The Chamber is pleased to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date resource tailored for both our local businesses and community members.
As we move into 2024, we are proud to announce that the Chamber saw a 48% increase in memberships in 2023! This significant increase is a testament to the dedication the Chamber has to fostering a thriving business community and actively engaging with its members.
Along with this progress, came many exciting changes and additions including hiring Becky Groff as our new Marketing and Communication Specialist. Now we can better communicate Chamber happenings and increase our marketing efforts to support you, our partner.
The Chamber has also been keeping pace with the development and expansion of our community by welcoming our new 55+ neighborhoods, hosting new events like the Historic Stevensville Business Crawl and establishing the Queen Anne’s County Community Foundation to support the noncredit trades at Chesapeake College. Along with our monthly business mixers, Success in 60, golf tournament, ribbon cuttings, and our member recognition ceremony Celebrating Business, the Chamber continually strives to create opportunities for our members.
Moving on to 2024, the Chamber is excited to announce the return of the Queen Anne’s County Home and Business Expo in March. This will be a great opportunity to bring together business and community members. The Chamber will also be working closely with the QAC Health Department by providing businesses with the “One Box,” an emergency opioid reverse kit designed to promote safety in the workplace.
We hope you find the 2024 Chamber Directory and all the services Chamber has to offer the business community a valuable resource. As we are always looking forward, we encourage you to get involved and share any ideas you may have to enrich our local business economy.
Wishing you continued success in the coming year.
—Linda Friday
Chair’s Message
I am thrilled to be Chair for 2024. As the Business Banking Market Executive for Shore United Bank, I am out meeting small businesses in our community and supporting events throughout the county daily. I have been involved in the Chamber for many years. One thing I know is, like most things, you get what you give. Queen Anne’s County is Where Shore Business Begins! While Queen Anne’s County is the Gateway to the Eastern Shore, the Chamber is the gateway for our members to work together to increase local commerce and to serve our communities more effectively than can be done individually. For 2024, I encourage you to think about how we can be Better Together.
Take time to look through the directory and find someone new to connect with. Is there anyone you know that is not a member and could use a dot connector? Invite them to an event or maybe have coffee to learn about a business in QAC.
We are consistently having new businesses open all over Queen Anne’s County. Make sure you let us know so we can do a ribbon cutting and support your new business. We will be sure you get a visit from our New Business Committee and all the resources available to you. When you visit an independent local business you keep more money in our local economy, support local jobs and much more.
You will see our traditional events that we all look forward to including Monthly Mixers, The Annual Golf Tournament and Celebrating Business Awards Dinner. Have an idea for a new event? Please reach out as we are always looking for new ways we can be Better Together!
Remember the Business & Home Expo?? It is coming back in 2024. We encourage our local businesses to attend and showcase your business to our community. It is going to be a great time and a great way to get out and network!
Did you know that we started a Community Foundation? Our generous President received recognition that came with a monetary award. Linda donated those funds to establish our Foundation. The Queen Anne’s County Chamber Foundation has a mission to engage community and business partners to fund and promote initiatives and opportunities that enhance our community. Donations can be made on our website and look for ways to support the Foundation at events throughout the year.
As you can see there will be many opportunities for us to be Better Together. We have many ways to get involved and are always looking for new ideas!
“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot, together we can do great things!”

Kent Narrows Waterfront
Located five miles east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Exit 41 Kent Narrows West | Exit 42 Kent Narrows East
Surrounded by the Chester River and the Eastern Bay and joined by the Kent Narrows Waterway, the 995-acre Kent Narrows Waterfront region encompasses parts of Chester, MD, on Kent Island and the western side of Grasonville, MD. The area is defined by the two bridges that connect Kent Island to the mainland of the Delmarva Peninsula.
The body of water known as the Kent Island Narrows, or to locals, “the Narrows” serves as a main thoroughfare for commercial and pleasure boating traffic. The strait joins the Chester River to the Eastern Bay. Kent Narrows boasts eight marinas, a new boatel, and other high-quality boat storage and repair facilities. It also is a popular with those who wish to purchase a boat or yacht, offering several sales and service facilities scattered throughout the business district. A new waterfront hotel—the Hyatt Place Kent Narrows and Marina—has recently opened, and the Kent Narrows Boatel has several new retail businesses that include Swan Cove Spa & Salon, Sugardoodles Sweet Shop, and Hope Boutique . . . with more to come. The new Dock House Restaurant is also a new addition to Kent Narrows.
The freshest seafood is here
Home to Harris Seafood and United Shellfish, the area remains a working waterfront and serves as the epicenter of the Chesapeake Bay’s thriving seafood processing and commercial fishing industries. The region supports hundreds of water-related businesses and is rich with maritime heritage. Local watermen keep their workboats and fishing boats here in the Waterman’s Boat Basin at Heritage Harbor, which is located just across from the seafood restaurants many of them supply.
A popular waterfront destination
The Kent Narrows Waterfront area is best known for award-winning seafood restaurants, world class marinas, waterfront hotels, and as a place to enjoy live music. Its dock-and-dine facilities are popular with the boating crowd; many restaurants and marinas offer free transient boat slips to those passing through. Several waterfront venues are available for small retreats, weddings and celebratory events. Fresh seafood dishes like Maryland Crab Cakes, Crab Soup, Oyster Stew and traditional Maryland Crab Feasts are enjoyed on the waterfront year ‘round. Well-known bands and musicians entertain during the boating season and on weekends throughout the rest of the year.
Center for sportfishing
The Kent Narrows is also a popular destination for Chesapeake Bay sport fishing. Some of the most experienced captains manage their fishing businesses from here. Head boats and charters depart daily from the landings and marinas during the boating season.
Stop and stay
A popular stop along the Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway, the area serves as a welcoming spot for visitors to the Eastern Shore. It’s home to the Chesapeake Heritage and Visitors Center and to scenic Ferry Point Park. Both places offer opportunities to become acquainted with life on Maryland’s Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, and to enjoy direct access to the waterfront.
The Watermen’s Way Heritage Trail map connects visitors to the waterfront attractions. A central feature of the trail is the Maryland Watermen’s Memorial and the new Stories of Kent Narrows Maritime
Heritage Project. The area also serves as a central location for recreational boating and an entry point to the Cross Island Trail, the new Cross County Connector Trail. The Captain John Smith Water Trail and is home to the Kent Narrows Public Boat Ramp.
Goods and services focus around water-based activities. Seafood processing, hospitality and maritime trades, resort hotels and marinas, and real estate and financial services generate the bulk of the employment in this area.
The Kent Narrows Waterfront is home to many marinas, boat sales and maintenance businesses. Two Yacht Clubs are also located here. Golf, fishing, antiquing, outlet shopping, and the activities at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center are nearby. The area is only 47 miles from Capitol Hill and just 20 minutes from Annapolis — easily accessible to major transportation hubs along the New York/Philadelphia/Baltimore/ Washington Corridor.
THE KENT NARROWS FOUNDATION
The Kent Narrows Foundation provides guidance and oversight for the formulation of a strategy to balance new economic growth, community redevelopment, support for the County’s fishing and seafood industries, and public access to waterfront activities and amenities. The Foundation is also concerned that environmentally sensitive areas within the Kent Narrows be preserved and contributes to the character of this unique Eastern Shore community.
Today, the Foundation reviews development projects to ensure they are in concert with the Kent Narrows Community Plan that was adopted by the Queen Anne’s County Commissioners in 2023. It is active in promoting visitation to the area and in funding, managing and coordinating a variety of projects that serve to improve the district for property owners, residents and visitors.
An Executive Director coordinates the activities of the Foundation and oversees day-to-day operations. The Board generally meets the fourth Tuesday of each month. Meeting notices and agendas are posted on the Queen Anne’s County website.
The Foundation’s Office is located in the Chesapeake Heritage and Visitors Center at 425 Piney Narrows Road, Chester, MD 21619. For visitor or other information call 410-604-2624 or visit www.kentnarrowsmd.com.

COMPASS: HERE WHEN YOU NEED US
Since 1985, Compass has been allowing patients to spend their final months the way they choose, guiding loved ones after a lifelimiting diagnosis, and showing individuals healthy ways to manage their grief. Today, the organization is a regional provider of hospice care, supportive care, and grief services in Queen Anne’s, Kent, and Caroline counties.
Whether serving their patients in private residences, skilled nursing facilities, or Compass’ residential centers in Centreville and Chestertown, staff and volunteers are guided by their mission to ensure that individuals facing end of life can live out their days in a full and meaningful way.
What began as a volunteer-run support service, has developed over the last 35 years into a visionary, state-of-the-art organization recognized locally, regionally and statewide for its excellence in quality care and compassion.
Hospice is a unique philosophy of care focused on living well at the end of life. From the time of diagnosis, Compass can
help guide you through difficult decisions and assist you as you adjust to changes and anticipate the future. Our interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, spiritual counselors, volunteers, and grief support staff provides comprehensive and support.
Home-based hospice care allows the patient to remain where they feel most comfortable—at home. Home can include a private residence, assisted living or long-term care facilities, or nursing homes.
If remaining at home is no longer possible, Compass has two residential hospice care options. The ten-bed Barnette Center in Centreville, and the four-bed Hospice Center in Chestertown provide a comfortable, homelike, and medically-supportive alternative. A team of experienced and caring professionals provide patients with 24/7 care to support the patients’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Hospice is appropriate for anyone facing a life-limiting illness, and our team is trained to meet the needs of all ages, from infants to seniors and every stage of life in between.
Supportive Care is available for those in the late stage of a serious, chronic, or terminal illness. Also known as palliative care, supportive care offers guidance toward living well and as fully as possible. The care team— consisting of a nurse practitioner and a social worker—works closely with existing care providers to help patients find relief from pain and other symptoms related to their diagnosis. This level of care can be provided even if a patient is still pursuing curative treatment or therapies.
Compass also provides a collection of Grief Services programs for the families of patients, as well as members of the community who are grieving the death of a loved one. These services have a common focus— rekindling hope and facilitating healing.
Our grief services team is made up of specially-trained and skilled professionals who guide people of all ages as they navigate the many emotions that accompany journeys of loss and grief. Our grief services are free of charge, and available to all residents of Caroline, Kent, and Queen Anne’s counties.
Trauma-certified grief counselors, social workers, spiritual counselors, and trained volunteers provide personalized support to help patients and their loved ones navigate the emotions that come with a serious diagnosis and loss—helping families celebrate life, prepare to say farewell, and learn healthy ways to manage their grief. Services include virtual and in-person grief support groups for adults, individual and family counseling, specialized grief support groups tailored to those who have lost a child or a partner, or those who have lost a loved one to suicide or overdose, school-based grief counseling and support groups (grades K-12), non-denominational spiritual counseling, Camp New Dawn (an overnight summer camp for children, teens and families), remembrance events and workshops, and a resource library of books, videos and CDs.
Because our care is about quality of life and living with dignity, patients and their families benefit when they have the help of trained professionals to assist with the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of daily living. Our services are not just for the end-of-life, and many patients report a better quality of life the sooner they are admitted to a support program. Anyone can refer a loved one to Compass, it does not have to be a health care professional.
As a nonprofit organization, Compass relies on financial support from the community to provide services not covered by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Compass is a fully licensed, independent, communitybased nonprofit organization certified by Medicare and the state of Maryland and accredited by the Joint Commission. It is affiliated with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Hospice and Palliative Care Network of Maryland.

Most people know what is meant by character. They may not use the same words to define it but typically people describe character as “doing the right thing.”

Today it seems as if you can’t read the newspaper without seeing a story about the latest ethical lapse of a business or one of its employees. However, all of us want to work and play by the Golden Rule and teach our youth about the importance of having good character. With this thought in mind, the Josephson Institute of Ethics founded Character Counts!, a national coalition that includes: individuals, schools, communities, and nonpartisan, nonsectarian nonprofit organizations. The coalition exists to teach youth and adults about the importance of living a life of character.

An educator once said, “Character building is an ‘inside job.’” Is our character as adults fixed or can we modify it? Character Counts! believes building good character is a dynamic process and that even as adults we can continue to mature and improve our character. Also, as adults it’s important that we teach and model positive character values for youth.

The Josephson Institute for Ethics developed the Six Pillars as a platform for teaching character. They believed those values provided a “comprehensive minimum” and offer common themes that can be taught to youth in the classroom or on the athletic field. In Queen Anne’s County, Character Counts! uses the Six Pillars as a framework for discussions about ethics and values in schools, the workplace and community settings.

Character Counts! is a volunteer initiative. Its volunteers, who are trained to become Character Coaches, visit schools during the year and teach lessons about the Six Pillars. Character Counts! relies on the support of volunteers from the business community to support these activities.
Typically, each coach focuses on one Pillar a month. The coach works with the same class and once a week will do different activities to discuss that Pillar. For example, a coach may read a fable or story to elementary students and then discuss with them how the moral of the story relates to a Pillar, such as respect. A coach in a middle school may bring in a newspaper article about an incident such as a Wall Street scandal and use it as a way to discuss the choices we make and their consequences, when examining a Pillar such as trustworthiness.
It is important that adults reinforce the lessons about each Pillar taught to students. Values don’t exist in a vacuum. Ideally they are taught every day and students see their application in the workplace.

The goal of the Advisory Council is for Character Counts! and the Six Pillars to be adopted and practiced by all adults in the community. While the Advisory Council’s earliest initiatives have taken place in public schools, the group looks for opportunities to sponsor adult forums and other activities that examine character.

Typically, each coach focuses on one Pillar a month. The coach works with the same class and once a week will do different activities to discuss that Pillar. For example, a coach may read a fable or story to elementary students and then discuss with them how the moral of the story relates to a Pillar, such as respect. A coach in a middle school may bring in a newspaper article about an incident such as a Wall Street scandal and use it as a way to discuss the choices we make and their consequences, when examining a Pillar such as trustworthiness.

Community Organizations
CHESAPEAKE CHARITIES
Since 2005, Chesapeake Charities has invested more than $9 million in the areas of education, health and human services, the arts, animal welfare, and the environment. By making lasting investments in the Chesapeake Bay region, we are creating a healthier community today and for generations to come. Most of these dollars are raised for and spent on our component funds – the charitable groups that operate under our umbrella.
You have already encountered many of these organizations in your daily life: Adopt-ABear, Animal Welfare League, Bully Free Community, Cancer Comfort Angels, Character Counts, Corsica River Conservancy, Historic Stevensville Arts & Entertainment District, Island Dog Park, McArdle School for Early Autism Intervention, Partnering
for Youth After School Program, and Tomcat Solutions. These are just a few of the more than 75 community groups we serve.
Chesapeake Charities awards grants to advance charitable efforts, identifies today’s and tomorrow’s needs, stimulates resources to address those needs, and helps the community prepare for future challenges by creating lasting legacies. A volunteer board of leading citizens oversees the work of the organization and it is staffed by professionals who have expertise in the community’s needs. Simply put, we make charity happen.
