Housewives of the Chesapeake

Since 2024, a handful of individuals have convened roughly four times a year, over food or an activity, to advance a cause bigger than any one of us.

Can you guys hear me? You're frozen. No, you're frozen.
A note on attendanceDirector Mugford lives in Oregon and attends every Board meeting by FaceTime. He has a perfect attendance record and has never once been in the room. His vote counts as long as the Wi-Fi does. He has not tried a single dish, but he has seen all of them.
