What comes to mind when you hear the word homeless? Do you picture someone in dirty clothes sleeping in a cardboard box? What if you found your stereotypes are wrong?
Happening this week in and around Cecil County â¦
The Snackle Box opens next week on the waterfront in Perryville. A grand opening is set for May 15 at 501 Roundhouse Drive.
Walter Hogue will be selling snacks, drinks and bait to folks using the town boat ramp or anyone else who stops by.
âI want to make it convenient for boaters and walkers,â he said, acknowledging the foot traffic along the trail that travels Roundhouse Drive.
The pre-fabricated building, which the town purchased with an $80,000 Maryland Department of Natural Resources Waterway Improvement Grant, has been at the launch since 2008 and since 2012 town officials have tried to get a concession stand. Hogue is making it happen at last.
The Council of Fellows scholarship program was founded in 2004 to:
aid outstanding students who would not otherwise have an opportunity to continue a professional degree program due to unmet financial need;
increase the interest and participation of economically disadvantaged and under-represented populations in the study of landscape architecture; and
enrich the profession of landscape architecture through a more diverse population.
Since the scholarship program’s inception, the Council has awarded forty students from over twenty programs across the country. The students have had the opportunity to attend the annual conference where they have networked with members, attended education sessions and special events such as the award ceremonies and the investiture dinner. The students regularly attend the Fellows business meeting where they receive their certificates.
