During the Caroline County Commissioners meeting on April 15, 2025, significant discussions centered around the proclamation of "Two Lights for Tomorrow Week," which runs from April 15 to April 22. This initiative commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States, specifically marking the historic events of Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775.

Bob Zimberoff, the Caroline County Economic Development and Tourism Director, presented the proclamation alongside members of the Caroline County Historical Society. He emphasized the importance of community participation in this nationwide movement, encouraging residents and businesses to display two lights in their windows as a symbol of remembrance and celebration. The initiative aims to foster a sense of unity and historical awareness among the community, inviting them to share their displays on social media.

The proclamation highlights the historical significance of Revere's ride, which served as a crucial alert to the American colonists about the advancing British troops, ultimately leading to the first battles of the Revolutionary War. The commissioners expressed their support for the initiative, recognizing its role in promoting local history and community engagement.

In addition to the proclamation, the meeting included lighter moments, such as the distribution of gift cards and thank-you cards to staff, showcasing a spirit of appreciation within the county's governance.

As the county prepares for this week of celebration, the commissioners and community members look forward to honoring their shared history while fostering a deeper connection to the events that shaped the nation. The next steps involve encouraging widespread participation and documenting the community's displays, which will culminate in a collective celebration of heritage and unity.
