A Message from Mayor Mike Callahan
Welcome to Cheverly Day 2015! It is my sincerest hope that
each and every Cheverly resident comes by Town Park on May16th to say
"Hello" to their neighbors and meet new friends.
And why wouldn't you? Once again the Cheverly Day Committee
has provided us with a wonderful line-up of activities for people of all ages. We
have a tremendous line-up of musicians to providing great entertainment
throughout the day. Children of all ages will love the Mid-Way, Miniature Golf
Course, Laser Tag, Dunk Tank and the Ping Pong Ball Flume. Adults will have the
opportunity to play Softball, Corn Hole, Horseshoes, FoosBall and of course,
stop and socialize in the Beer Garden.
There should be a moratorium on "home cooking"
throughout town -- eat at Town Park and feast on the great food choices
available. Old standards like Good Times Catering, Funnel Cakes and Simple
Pleasures Ice Cream will be joined by the Crab Cab, Chez Adilmos, SOL
Mexicangrill, and Cheverly's own Unforgettable Flavors.
This year we look to improve the Cheverly Day Public Transit
System, as buses will be circulating throughout town bringing people to and
from the park from 2pm to 6pm. And of course the Fireworks! So please come join
us as we celebrate living in Cheverly.
Finally, please join
me in celebrating our Mayor’s Awardees for 2015: Luanne Smith and Oliver
Greaves. Take a moment to thank Luanne Smith (Volunteer of the Year) for
all of her efforts to support the Boys and Girls Club and especially women's
softball for over 20 years, and Oliver Greaves (Jack Wheat Award) for 21 years
of service to Cheverly in the Public Works Department.
See you at Cheverly Day 2015!
Mayor Mike Callahan
A BIG Thank You!
We are grateful to many, many people, organizations, and companies for making Cheverly Day 2015 a terrific celebration of this community. Please join us in thanking everyone!
Cheverly Day is TOMORROW!
Don't miss a thing! Large schedules will be posted at the Community Center and the Tennis Court at Town Park. We look forward to sharing a spectacular Cheverly Day 2015 with you! Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter throughout the day, and include #CheverlyDay in your tweets to share your experience!

Flowers have been planted in the pockets, courtesy of the Cheverly Garden Club. Many thanks to Cheverly West for sponsoring this art work. We hope to expand on it next year, so if you are interested in getting involved, please contact Kathryn.

A BIG Thanks to our Corporate Sponsors!
We are extraordinarily grateful our Corporate Sponsors for their generous contributions to Cheverly Day 2015
Interested in becoming a Cheverly Day 2015 Corporate Sponsor? There's still time! Please contact Megan Daly for complete details. We're still accepting advertising as well!
Just one week from now...
Just one week from tonight, through the work of the terrific CHVProm 2015 Committee and the Department of Public Works, this nondescript gym gets transformed into Cheverly's big dance: it's time for CHVProm 2015! A handful of tickets are still available -- act fast and you may still be in luck! Email Lane Thompson for details.
CHVProm begins at 8:00pm on Friday, May 15, and doesn't runout of gas until midnight. Competition for the best decorated table is always fierce, and over the years, we've been impressed by Cheverly Metro, Feral Foxes, Gilligan and friends, 007 and Goldfinger...What ever happened to the gold mannequin that decorated that table? Last time we saw her, she was crowd surfing, then riding in the 80th Anniversary Parade the next morning. Anyhow, CHVProm is always a wild night, and this year, we hear that many partygoers are running with our Keep Cheverly Wild Theme. We can't wait to see the results!
Keep up to the minute with all things CHVProm 2015 on Twitter, and use #CHVProm in your tweets to share the evening with everyone!While the decor and fashions are always great fun, dancing and food are big draws! Cheverly has a wealth of great cooks, and the potluck buffet served up at CHVProm is fantastic.
CHVProm 2015 Potluck Assignments CHVProm is pot luck and BYOB. The CHVProm Committee will provide a keg, drink mixers, tea and lemonade. Please bring a dish to share based on your last name:
A-G: Cold dishes & Cheese
H-M: Savory Vegetarian
N-S: Savory Carnivore
T-Z: Desserts & Sweetness
Finally, many thanks to the Department of Public Works and the CHVProm 2015 Committee for all their work this year.
