Wicomico Civic Center

THANK YOU, TERRIFIC THERESA, SUPERB STACIE, AND MAGNIFICENT STAFF AT CIVIC CENTER:

I, Pocomoke High School Class of 1985 made the best choice in choosing Wicomico Youth and Civic Center to celebrate our 40th CLASS REUNION 🎉

I must take time out to thank Tricia (Booking Admin Assistant) for her professionalism and courteous manner. She provided tremendous assistance in booking the date for our fabulous milestone event. Additionally, I am eternally grateful to Stacie (Sales Manager) for her diligence and patience.

When me, and the two committee members (LaSharon and Sherri) walked in Saturday morning, July 12, 2025, we were like WOW, this is Perfect! Theresa (Event and Services Coordinator) and her staff did a spectacular job!

From the elegant decor (table set up, chair covers with alternate blue & gold), the exquisite ambiance, and sensational food - hats off to your phenomenal kitchen staff; we had so much fun!!! I love the way you arranged the dance floor in the middle of the Danang room, which aligned great with our DJ.

We, the PHS Class of 1985, had the best time of our lives - Glory to God!!!

The evening of July 12th, Ramonia, a Security staff member, kindly introduced herself to me, explaining all necessary details; she and Dean, another Security staff member, were very helpful. Najia (Food and Services Leader) was efficient and considerate, as well as Deb, Elijah and Kevin Briddell. Mona and Sara were polite, awesome bartenders.

I will forever remember all of these fantastic employees’ names. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the above-mentioned names. Please let them know my sincere gratitude for the best reunion!

I cannot thank you enough Theresa for your positivity, professionalism, and pleasantness.

Blessings & Love You For Free

Club volleyball tournament. Ridiculous policies. Athletes only allowed one water, sport drink and protein bar for the whole day. Spectators were not allowed even empty water bottles. No purses beyond 5*7. Water bottle was 3.50! What a racket. Shameful

We were here for a volleyball tournament and it was an experience that we won’t forget.
First, if you are going to host a large sporting event, it’s incredibly important to make sure you genuinely care about the players. Nowhere were there rules stated that our girls could only bring a water, a sports drink and a protein bar. This is not your job to dictate what our kids eat and what keeps them energized after hours of playing. 1 water so we can go spent $4 on a bottle of water after a single game?
Not to mention your junk menu. As a parent of athletes, chips and cheese or soft pretzels are not a meal. This isn’t a show or concert. These were athletes giving it all while under some sort of unnecessary and ridiculous dictatorship that they’re allowed a protein bar.
If you cared about more than the money, we wouldn’t be spending as much as we are to get in to watch our kids play and be told we also can’t have a single bottle of water. This is absolutely insane and should be looked into as it’s very negligent to “allow” an athlete very limited options. Nobody is here for your popcorn, we were there to watch our own kids play a sport they loved while we as parents are being overruled on what our kids are allowed to have.
Next- maybe making it comfortable for everyone and not freezing the entire building would be something to look into.
Lastly, the staff that was working during the event claim to work for the city. Whereas most were pleasant, there were plenty that could have retired years ago and stayed home. They have no business talking to adults or children the way they do and it’s appalling this type of worth either is tolerated. The lady working wrist bands was incredibly incompetent, rude and needs to go home and not with people. She is a great way to ruin a day!

I hope to never ever have to return to this horrible place ever again.
