The Brigadune Inn

We had the ENORMOUS Honor of hosting students and faculty of the James Madison University Honors Program this weekend! We were, as usual, so impressed with these young people. Every year, we've found these students to be polite and kind, without being stiff, very inquisitive and bright - asking intelligent, thoughtful questions and just being all-around great people. They were packed in like sardines and never uttered one peep of complaint.

Although they enjoyed time visiting the museum and sitting around the sunset firepit, they also spent a good deal of Saturday hauling junk up from the beach. Tangier, unfortunately, acts as a filter for a lot of the trash that pollutes the Bay. These amazing people hauled up THREE huge truckloads of debris from the beach!! We are so appreciative of this herculean effort! Thank you, JMUHP!! We can't wait to see you back next year!

We are very excited to support the Tangier Island Community Foundation, an organization formed to support our beloved Tangier Island community. We could not be more proud of Addison Crockett, as she launches this ambitious project. If you can help, please give what you can. Here is the link for the GoFundMe campaign:
