We held four ribbon-cutting celebrations in June. The first was the grand opening of Park Avenue Aesthetics in Arnold. Owner Christine Bateman has been practicing in the area for years and decided to open her own business. Based on the attendance at the ribbon-cutting, it will be a big success.

Next, we held a ribbon-cutting for the grand opening of CTL Financial LLC. Owner Chris Locher purchased and renovated the Moscker building on Ritchie Highway and brings decades of experience to helping people plan for financially stable futures.

We celebrated the unveiling of the new American flag retirement box at the Severna Park Elks Lodge. This will be great for our community to have a place to respectfully and properly dispose of their worn or tattered flags.
