The Maryland Patriot Guard is the local affiliate of the National Patriot Guard Riders, a national non-profit organization that has an unwavering respect for those who risk their lives for America's freedom and security. Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes and veterans as invited guests of the family.
Additionally, our group runs a HOTH program (Help On The Home front). Through our organization we are able to provide support to our soldiers and families of those who are currently serving in our military and those who have served in the past. Much of the work we do benefits our wounded service members or their families residing at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD.

Baltimore Sports & Social Club Sports Field Renovation Proposal

( 11-29-2010 Start Date )

HOW CAN BSSC MEMBERS HELP ??
The ONLY way for the grass to grow is to let the fields rest until SPRING. There will be limited fencing and signs posted on the fields about the renovation.

 If you are walking your dog, running, etc in the Park, PLEASE report individuals using the fields by calling 311 or Parks & Recs @ 410-396-9392.

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

The following proposal is based on improving the safety and playability of the fields at Patterson Park. The parameters we used in coming to the plan and our common goals are:
1. Improving the field quality on the most number of fields by leveling, improving vegetative cover and reducing compaction.
2. Staying within desired budget of $32,000
3. Working within a Winter renovation timetable.
4. Facilitating the improvement of fields that currently have Bermuda grass on them
5. Getting winter cover on the Bermuda fields.
6. Using proper amounts of composted topsoil to address field quality issues.
7. Having a sports turf specialist and a former golf course superintendent on the field during renovation.
8. Having an experienced & bonded company doing the work.
9. Recognizing this is a method proposal.
The rational for the fields chosen were based on the probability of significant improvement and success. The fields chosen and techniques to be performed are:
1. PK1, PK6, PK8 - Apply 40 yards (two tandem truckloads) per field of composted topsoil to center of fields and low spots as material allows. Spread and grade with bucket loader Level soil and fill-in low spots by hand as needed. Apply a winter rye for turf cover at a rate of 56 Lbs per acre. Apply a dormant seeding of 150 lbs of Tall Fescue seed, focusing on the center of the fields and wear areas. Total = 450 lbs Tall Fescue, 168 lbs. Winter rye, 120 yards composted topsoil + labor + loader/grader
2. Utz Field - Apply 60 yards (three tandem truckloads) of composted topsoil to center of field and high wear areas as materials allow. Level soil + fill in low spots as needed. Hand rake where needed. Apply 450 lbs Firecracker/ Falcon Blend Tall fescue with 150 lbs ryegrass.
3. PK2, PK3,PK4, PK5, PK7 - Shatter-tine vertical aerate center portions of fields, high wear areas, to approx. 6 inch depth. Can be done on frozen turf. Seed with winter rye/ tall fescue mixture
Fields will be double aerated.
The land owner is responsible for marking aeration heads, drainage and wiring if necessary. All work will be performed by A. A. County Farm, Lawn & Garden Center, Glen Burnie, MD. Copies of insurance & bonding are available upon request. If possible can contractor store equipment (Tractor & Aerator) during course of project at the Patterson Park Maintenance yard? Half of payment is due upon contract signing. Remainder to be paid upon completion of job.

Thanks Again for the opportunity,

MEALS ON WHEELS OF CENTRAL MD- VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 

Change a life this year maybe even your own.  Start by meeting a lot of friendly people in your own community who volunteer 1 hour of their time a month to help their homebound neighbors stay in their own homes, within their own community. By just delivering a nutritious meal and a cheerful smile you can help relieve the isolation a neighbor sometimes feels and also provide them with a sense of dignity and independence.

Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland was established in Baltimore in 1960 by volunteers whose concern was to ensure that people who are elderly or disabled continued to eat properly so they would thrive and remain part of their community. Recently we expanded our program to also provide pet food to our clients who have pets so they are not tempted to share their own food with their pets.

Regardless of the season, find an hour to help change or impact the life of another less fortunate. Whether you are retired, a stay at home parent, work full or part time or currently looking for work stop by one of our sites near you (13 locations in Baltimore and others in Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford and Howard Counties). Ride along with one of our volunteers and see if this opportunity is for you.

Individuals, organizations, associations and businesses alike are regularly delivering at least 1 weekday each month. Go to our website www.mealsonwheelsmd.org to view all of our locations, fun volunteer opportunities and even apply on line. 

Businesses find volunteering helps increase their visibility by delivering meals in their workplace community during a lunch break. 
Why don’t you…???
Apply online today www.mealsonwheelsmd.org or email us at volunteer@mowcm.org-
 or call Ph#) (443) 573-0925 for further details.
 
 NEW….. BICYCLISTS ARE NOW DELIVERING MEALS….YOU CAN TOO.

  The Sweet Baby Grace Fund

Tony & Alysia were orginal members who met while playing in the BSSC, got engaged and were married. I was invited to their wedding along with other friends they had made through the BSSC.

On May 31st 2005 they had their first baby, Grace. Around four months of age their baby was diagnosed with a fatal and untreatable disease called Krabbe disease. Krabbe disease is a rare disorder leading to degeneration of the nervous system and occurs in about 1 in 100,000 births worldwide. Affected families have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with the disease. It is caused by the shortage of an enzyme called galactosylceramidase (GALC), which leads to
a progressive loss of myelin that covers many nerves. Without myelin, nerves in the brain and other parts of the body cannot function properly.
On Saturday, June 3rd, 2006 Grace lost her battle with this disease.

Part of a letter I received:
Tony & Alysia
We have felt helpless for so long as we know many of you have. To celebrate and honor Grace’s life, we have created a fund in her name. The Sweet Baby Grace Fund will be used to help with Grace Care and support research. We hope that in Grace’s memory, a cure can be found so that other families can see their babies survive this horrible disease.

Contributions to Sweet Baby Grace Fund can be sent to:
