CaringMatters Patio Dedication Celebration

It was an evening of pure joy as we dedicated our new patio in honor of our CEO, Allison Stearns, and in memory of her loving husband, Eric Stearns. The patio was made possible through a Maryland Bond Bill sponsored by Senator Cheryl C. Kagan and a match grant from the Montgomery Village Rotary Foundation. It was built by an incredible team at Allentuck Landscaping.

Thanks to Ken and Julie Cook for underwriting the reception, to EDGE Floral Event Designers for donating beautiful flowers, and to Toni Robinson for donating her professional photography services.

Mayor Jud Ashman presented a Proclamation from the City of Gaithersburg, proclaiming yesterday – May 7, 2025 – as CaringMatters Day.

It's always an honor to bring our community together and we were thrilled to unveil this new oasis.
