Easton, MD - ShoreRivers is proud to announce that its highly anticipated Rendezvous event is returning this fall, with guests invited to Silver Swan Bayside on Sunday, November 16, from 1–4pm.
The Rendezvous is an annual fall gathering of ShoreRivers' friends — both new and those deep-rooted — who value the beauty and bounty of our rivers and creeks, and the shores that trace them. Seasonal and delicious fare curated by our friends at Chesapeake Chef Services as well as a premium open bar will greet our guests when they arrive at this year’s beautiful, waterfront venue.
During the afternoon, guests will be invited to participate in a fun fundraiser and have an opportunity to “raise their swan” in support of healthier waterways. All proceeds collected from the lovely and lively event underwrite ShoreRivers’ steadfast focus on science-based advocacy, restoration, education, and engagement for the Eastern Shore.

Join ShoreRivers at Silver Swan Bayside for an afternoon of casual cocktails and seasonal fare, plus a chance to learn more about its most important programming. Bid a fond farewell to Executive Director Isabel Hardesty at this year’s Bayside Rendezvous on Sunday, November 16. For tickets and sponsorship information, please visit shorerivers.org/events.
This year’s event will also serve as Executive Director Isabel Hardesty's swan song event, where we'll celebrate her 14 years of service and dedication to our waterways and our communities. Hardesty was hired in 2011 by the Chester River Association, one of ShoreRivers’ legacy organizations, where she served as the Policy Specialist for two years and then as the Chester Riverkeeper for four. In these positions she gained experience in local and state advocacy, local enforcement monitoring and compliance, water quality monitoring, and on-the-ground restoration. When ShoreRivers was created in 2018, she served first as the Regional Director and then as the Deputy Director until becoming Executive Director in 2021. Leading a culture of trust, transparency, and tenacity will be a lasting hallmark of her service to ShoreRivers and the communities we serve. We invite everyone to join us in wishing her well on her next adventure.
Sponsorship opportunities (which include promotional recognition and complimentary tickets), and general tickets are available. We’re grateful for the early support of lead sponsors Watson/Stone Family Foundation, Full Sail Media, and Silver Swan Bayside to make this fun and purposeful event possible.
