Hello, my name is Kimberly Samm, and I am privileged to call myself the 62nd Queen of the Chesapeake. Since I was very young, I had always wanted to become a princess, and I have proudly surpassed that goal by being crowned Queen. The feeling is indescribable, and it is my honor to represent so many wonderful people. I hope to fulfill many goals, expand many ideas, and open many more opportunities to everyone

Previous Queen's of the Chesapeake Bay

   I cannot even begin to explain how honored I am to have been crowned Queen of the Chesapeake on June 1, 2008.  I had always dreamt of being the Queen of the Chesapeake, but had never thought it a reality until the magical moment that I heard my name called at the Pageant.  What made that day so meaningful was less about holding the title of Queen, but more so the great people I would be representing for the rest of the year and the difference I could make with my new role in the yacht club community.

 As the 2007 princess of Baltimore Yacht Club, I feel that I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to extend my reign as princess to the 2008 boating season.  Traditionally, the Baltimore Yacht Club does not allow a princess to run for two consecutive seasons.  I was lucky enough to be the first Princess to do so; giving me a second chance to become the Queen of the Chesapeake.

 Over the past two boating seasons I have met so many people—from princesses, to officers, to members, and even Chesapeake Bay enthusiasts—who have become an important part of my life.  I truly consider the yacht club community my second family and I want to thank that extraordinary family for all of their support and guidance during my time as princess.  I am also looking forward to continued support during my reign as Queen and being able to meet even more people to add to my “family.”  A special part of this “family” is the ladies with whom I hold a sisterly bond—the Princesses.  They are all so unique and each brings something wonderful to our varied, but close-knit group of girls.  They are each so bright and have outstanding personalities, which is why I feel so honored to share countless memories with them.

 As Queen, it is my goal to be a role model for the Princesses across the Chesapeake Bay, along with everyone involved in the bay community.  I wish to become the voice of the Chesapeake Bay by encouraging others to help keep our bay and our environment healthy for generations to come.  I will work to create awareness of our bay’s fragile state, along with promoting what we can do to make a difference.  I will be working directly with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to help make these goals a reality.  I highly recommend that everyone become a member of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and do their part in helping “Save the Bay.”  I, with the help of the Chesapeake Bay community, am determined to make a difference during my reign.  If you know of anything I can do or attend as Queen, please let me know, for I want to become as involved as possible.  I can’t wait to get to know everyone even better and to create another unforgettable year.

Always remember that everyday is a gift, so let’s treasure each moment.

Love,

Renae Hunter

2008 Queen of the Chesapeake                 

            On June 3, 2007, I competed with thirteen other beautiful princesses for the honorable title, Queen of the Chesapeake Bay. When it had been announced that I was the winner I was on cloud nine and my body was completely overwhelmed with emotions! That moment in time will always be remembered as it marks a milestone in my life. I can honestly say that I have never been so blessed with anything more wonderful.

 Love to all,
