The 6th Annual Blooms for United Way of Queen Anne’s County held on April 2nd at the Prospect Bay Country Club in Grasonville, MD was a beautiful success! Close to $10,000 was raised this year thanks for the many sponsors that stepped up including BankAnnapolis as the Title Sponsor, Banquet Sponsors Paula’s Fine Jewelry, Chesapeake Investment Planning and WHBG, CPAs. Of course, the majority of the Blooms were donated once again by Gary & Sonia Mangum of Bell Nurseries.
