I look forward to an active
year and encourage all camps to notify me
of their meetings and special events.
Whenever possible I will attempt to
attend in person or find another
Department Officer who can attend.
Some of my goals this year
are to increase membership, establish new
camps, and improve communication among
the camps. In addition I would like to
see us do more to promote the growth of
the Allied Orders throughout the Maryland
Department. Look for further details on
plans regarding these goals in the coming
months.
In Fraternity,
Charity, and Loyalty,
James R. Hanby,
Sr., Maryland Department Commander
