We are so happy to be a supporter of the Women's League of Washington College!

Congratulations to the winner of the Women's League Grand Raffle. Peggi Fisher is a familiar face to locals as a vendor at the Chestertown Saturday Farmers Market, where she runs Our Greek Market. Ms. Fisher won a luxurious package featuring a two-night stay at Chestertown’s historic White Swan Tavern paired with a dining gift card to Watershed Alley.

All proceeds from the raffle support scholarships and other programs at Washington College.

Inspired by the stories of the students and the profound impact the Women's League has had on the Washington College community over the last 75 years, Ms. Fisher surprised the Scholarship Committee by immediately turning her win into a moment of philanthropy.

"I am pleased to kickstart your NEXT scholarship fundraising efforts in the name of my parents, John and Norma Michels," Fisher announced.

The surprise donation, which will be formally made through the Fisher Family Fund, served as the perfect finale for the Women's League's diamond jubilee—proving that the legacy of giving started by Helen Gibson 75 years ago is still going strong in Chestertown today.
