“This event provides an opportunity to share a special afternoon with friends in the elegant outdoor atmosphere at the Carriage House, behind the Kitchen at The Imperial, in Chestertown,” remarked Chestertown Rotary President Brian Moore. “It is an excellent way to get acquainted with some of the best food and drink offered by local businesses while helping Kent County public school students continue to prepare for the technological needs of tomorrow. The Chestertown Rotary club is a huge supporter of education and educational causes, and we are happy once again to be presenting this popular event to raise funds for the technology program.”
The event is sponsored The Chestertown Spy, Eastman, Angelica Nurseries, Think Big, Lerner Family, WCTR Radio, Delmarva Power, The Kent County News, Price Rentals & Events, and Choptank Electric Cooperative.

“The Kent County Public Schools Maker Space is tasked with providing a safe and positive community in which students can explore their personal interests and learn from those around them. They are encouraged to approach complex tasks in unique and innovative ways, while disseminating their knowledge and findings with those around them,” remarked William Poore, Supervisor of Technology at Kent County Public Schools. “With donations from the Soup and Sip event, KCPS will be able to provide students with new equipment which further expands their ability to ‘Make’. Every donation helps to open a door into what is possible within our space and allows students to interact with technologies in ways they never have before!”
