The Baltimore Chapter enjoyed having several guests at our September 5th meeting. Maryland State Regent Liz Deering and State Organizing Secretary Bliss Kaye along with members of the Mary Carroll Caton Chapter and prospective members from both chapters enjoyed getting to know one another.

At the beginning of the meeting, Ms. Deering and Ms. Kaye installed our new chapter officers. After the installation, Ms. Deering presented her State Regent's Project, Our Legacy of Liberty which engages all Maryland chapters in planting 13 scions of the original Liberty Tree throughout the state. Everyone in attendance found her presentation focusing on the importance of Liberty Trees during the Revolutionary War era to be very informative.

Everyone is looking forward to the dedication of the Liberty Tree that the Baltimore, Mary Carroll Caton and Colonel Thomas Dorsey Chapters will host on October 17, 2026 in Benjamin Banneker Museum and Park.

We hope you'll join us for this exciting event.

April 22nd was a big day for the Baltimore Chapter DAR with the dedication of an America 250! plaque in Federal Hill Park. The weather cooperated and we were able to enjoy the sunny day. People across all organizations and agencies involved in this process attended.

The SAR Color Guard posted the colors accompanied by a fifer and drummer from Ft. McHenry.

We received greetings from Maryland State Regent Liz Deering. We heard remarks from Louise Devanney, co-chair of the MSSDAR America 250! Committee. Michael Lore, Deputy Secretary of State read a letter of greetings from Governor Wes Moore with a proclamation to follow.
We then dedicated the marker and unveiled it to the public. The event culminated with refreshments and conversations among attendees.
