Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers (CACC) has announced a final postponement of their 50th Anniversary Celebration. While the event was originally set for September of 2021 and tentatively rescheduled to April of 2022, due to COVID, the event has now been officially postponed to Thursday, September 8th.
Ticketholders should take note that the venue has changed from the Oaks Waterfront Inn to the Talbot Country Club. If one has already purchased tickets, they are valid for the September 8th event. Ticketholders also have the option to request a refund or convert their ticket purchase to a donation in support of Critchlow Adkins. Executive Director Cristy Morrell can be contacted with any questions at or 410-820-8061.
This celebration is a variation on CACC’s annual Joy of Children event, as it will commemorate the 50+ years that Critchlow Adkins has been providing quality, financially accessible childcare to an astounding four generations of families in Talbot County.
In addition to dinner, a live auction, and a Golden Ticket raffle, CACC will be presenting their Legacy Award to four special honorees. The Legacy Award was created to recognize people and organizations who have had a profound impact, not just on Critchlow Adkins, but on the lives of the children and families they serve. This year’s honorees are Fayette and Bob Engstrom, Sandy Kaufman, Ceci Nobel, and Christmas in St. Michaels.
“We are now affectionately referring to this event as our 50th plus celebration,” jokes CACC Executive Director Cristy Morrell. “We are nothing if not flexible at Critchlow Adkins, and we know that sometimes, good things are worth waiting for. Although we do have to wait a little longer, we are very excited to celebrate the history of our organization with so many of the wonderful people who have helped us reach, and now surpass, this amazing milestone.”
Critchlow Adkins Children’s Centers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality, financially accessible childcare for children and their families in a nurturing, diverse, safe, and enriching environment. CACC offers year-round preschool programs, pre-K through 5th grade before- and after-school care, and summer camp programs.
Children throughout CACC’s programs benefit from their innovative, literature-based educational enrichment STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities. These fun projects teach children of all ages to use critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, and instill in them a love of learning, all through play. In addition, CACC participates in the Raising a Reader Program, which promotes early literacy by encouraging families to read with their children.
