The CCAC Board of Directors is thrilled to appoint Lynne Griffith as our new Executive Director.
Griffith is a Carroll County resident with vast leadership experience as a nonprofit administrator. An accomplished musician, she has a passion for the arts, arts education, and community engagement. Griffith recognizes the importance of team building and collaboration to create dynamic and synergistic partnerships throughout the county.
“I enthusiastically believe in the power of the Arts to profoundly impact people and communities, and I relish the opportunity to make that happen,” says Griffith.
The CCAC Executive Committee accepted the resignation of Eric Kerchner on December 8. “Lynne was a finalist in our recent search, and we are fortunate she was available, enthusiastic, and so very qualified to fill the position. We lucked out.” says Thomas Sterner, CCAC board president.

Covalent Spirits: Creating Bonds Through Sharing.
Covalent Spirits: Creating Bonds
Through Sharing.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/covalent-spirits-distillery-tasting-room#/
Dec 5, 2021
Covalent Spirits is new distillery,
tasting room, and event venue coming soon to Westminster, MD. We launched an
Indiegogo campaign (https://igg.me/at/covalentspirits) to raise money to help
with the renovation costs. Covalent Spirits is moving into the old City Garage
on Main Street, a historic building built in the 1920s, but it needs a lot of
TLC. With your help, we can restore a piece of history, reinvent this space,
and revitalize a part of downtown Westminster.
Covalent
Spirits is a craft distillery, tasting room, and event venue that is dedicated
to bringing distilling back to Westminster, MD. Located 45 min from Baltimore
and 75 min from DC, Covalent Spirits is nestled in the heart of Carroll County,
surrounded by rich history and beautiful landscapes.
Covalent
Spirits will be taking an experimental approach to creating a variety of
spirits, including vodka, gin, brandy, liqueur, and whiskey. We want to help
our customers better understand their palates and better appreciate what is in
their glass. In chemistry, "covalent" refers to a bond created
through sharing (electrons). We believe that's how you form the strongest and
most memorable bonds -- sharing a drink, sharing a memory, sharing a community.
That is the "covalent spirit,” and that is the essence of our company.
We
officially incorporated in early March 2020, right before the pandemic hit.
Because of the pandemic, we had spare time to focus on business planning, but
we also had to deal with contractor shortages and increased costs of materials.
Since this tasting room is where we want the community to share and connect, we
thought its build-out would be the perfect use of the money raised by this
campaign.
