Safeway to the Bay Tour

This 2-hour driving tour will take participants through some of the most scenic and enjoyable roads in Anne Arundel and Calvert counties. As he has done privately and for PCA Chesapeake six times before, guest tour master Hank Lucas will again share his wonderful route with fellow PCA members. This drive is one of the best in PCA Chesapeake’s repertoire. (Version 4)

This event will also be a food drive for the LindaBen Foundation, a charity that aims to reduce childhood hunger in Howard County, among other goals. For the summer and coming school year, LindaBen is working with the county’s after-school program to provide healthy snacks for the students. Please scroll down for information on what food and other items you could donate.
