Our program year runs from September through May, though our service projects run throughout the year in support of veterans, active duty military, good citizenship, historic preservation, education, conservation, and the upcoming America 250 celebration.
We generally meet on the second Saturday of the month at 10 am in Prince Frederick to plan and review activity status and conduct chapter business. These business meetings are followed by light refreshments and a presentation on various topics related to our mission. Dress is business casual.
We welcome prospective members to attend our meetings and join in our activities while they work on their applications.
