the Gala and we estimate about 300

and beer through the entire evening. Our

opening reception will feature delectable

hors d’oeuvres, followed by the awards

ceremony during which you will enjoy a

deliciously crafted three-course menu.

The awards ceremony will feature the

Chairman’s Leadership Award, a keynote

address by Baltimore City Mayor,

Catherine Pugh, and the announcement

of the winners of the MDHCC Business
