Our Department of Maryland Convention is in Ocean City this July. Sharon Guiabo and I look forward to attending and representing our Unit. The Auxiliary sponsored Maeve Swick to attend Girls State this year and are looking forward to Maeve’s visit later this year to tell us about her experience. Each summer approximately 16,000 young women participate and learn about the democratic process and how our government works at state and national levels. We were pleased to host the Junior Auxiliary Bears Backyard Barbecue with proceeds benefitting “The Seven Stars Foundation” which helps send military kids to camp. As we move into the summer, we will be working on plans for the 3rd annual wine tasting. More details to follow.
