Chesapeake Arts Center
When Anne Arundel County wanted to cultivate arts entertainment and education in its northern region, the multimillion dollar renovation of a former high school gave birth to Chesapeake Arts Center. In two theaters, the Center makes room for concerts, plays and dance. It also showcases both local and national artists in performances and exhibits.
The Center also includes two dance studios, a pottery studio, woodshop and piano lab plus classroom and classes in theatre, music, visual arts and yoga. Children and adults develop their talents in the Center’s classes and shows.
Chesapeake Arts Center gives Northern Anne Arundel County a great place for doing and seeing the arts without driving to Baltimore, Annapolis or Washington.

Judith Neighoff
Realtor®, ReMax Innovations
ReMax Innovations was recently represented at its annual convention in San Diego, California, by Judith Neighoff. Judy brought home many new and unique marketing ideas to help sell homes more effectively. One idea is to feature your home on Realtor.com since 89 percent of buyers are known to search for homes online. For example, when a buyer searches for Deale, MD, Judy’s seller’s homes are instantly shown with multiple photos and links for additional information. This has resulted in over 2000 hits to Judy’s website in one week. Call Judy or visit her website for more information.

Sunrooms Plus
PG Awning/Covers By The Bay
Owner: Wayne Brechtel
One of the larger home improvements is the addition of a sunroom, so homeowners should plan ahead. Who will build it ? Will the addition look good on your home? What size will give you what you want? What will the room be used for?
Consider if you want to use the room year-round, to extend the living room or possibly open it up to the house. Then you need the most thermally efficient windows, such as vinyl-framed, double pane, with low E and argon gas.
If the sunroom will be used only from spring to fall, then single-pane glass windows or their equivalent should be fine.
To learn more about a sunroom expansion project, call Sunrooms Plus.
