TOGETHER WITH
Good morning, Annapolis. Somewhere between Italy and Poland last week, thieves stole 413,793 KitKats (and the truck carrying them). Neither the candy or truck have been located. Sounds like someone’s planning one heck of a black market Easter egg hunt.
In today’s Naptown Scoop:
Broadneck Trail opens today,
Double awards ceremony
Fire at FastSigns
Let’s get to it.

COMMUNITY
Few of the Many + Michelle Obama Awards 🏆
How about two award ceremonies for the price of one? (Especially if the price is $0 and open to the public?)
The community is invited to the joint Few of the Many & Michelle Obama Awards presentation tomorrow night 5:30-8 PM at Maryland Hall, when County Executive Steuart Pittman and the Caucus of African American Leaders will recognize 30 local leaders and changemakers.
Delayed recognition: You might remember a little snowstorm we had back at the end of February? That forced the county to postpone Few of the Many so they combined these two ceremonies. Few of the Many honors Black History Month and the Michelle Obama Awards honor Women’s History Month. Both awards highlight the contributions of people exemplifying leadership, service, and resilience.
