Metro workers and their families partied in style at a Chesapeake Bay resort last month, celebrating the launch of a new financial program with a dinner and beach party.

The Aug. 19 party was at Herrington on the Bay in Rose Haven, Md., which touts itself as a resort geared for weddings and corporate events offering catered meals and “lush landscaping with magnificent waterfront vistas.” An invitation given to Metro employees encouraged them to bring their families to the event running from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. by saying “many exciting things to do! Bring swimwear for the beach, kayaks, Frisbees, etc.” Dinner was slated to be served promptly at 5 p.m.
