General Chapter Meeting Information
A featured part of almost every month's membership meeting is the guest speaker program. The Board of Directors spends a lot of time planning and arranging for the featured speakers. We begin by designing a general theme for each month's program and then follow up by identifying and booking potential speakers.

Inclement Weather Policy
Since we meet at a Montgomery County facility we will be subject to the county closing policy.
****
When Montgomery County Recreation must close or cancel programs due to inclement weather or other circumstances related to participant and staff safety the first notification is made through Montgomery County’s emergency notification system, Alert Montgomery. Alert Montgomery provides accurate, immediate emergency notifications from Montgomery County to your cell, work or home phone, via text, email or voice message.
Real-time emergency updates can also be accessed at:
- Recreation Website
- 240-777-6889
- by calling the facilities directly.
Given that participants and employees often travel distances and weather conditions may vary considerably across the county, residents are advised to exercise caution and consider personal safety as the first priority.
If you’d like to receive free alerts (in event of a major crisis, emergency, or severe weather event) for Montgomery County, sign up for Alert Montgomery.

DNR Report on Historic Wet Weather
April 17th, 2019
About those rains last year . . .
Remember the basement flooding in the summer? The blown out rivers in the fall? Did you wonder about how the fish were doing with all that water? Well, come to our April 17th chapter meeting and hear what a Maryland Department of Natural Resources biologist has to tell us about that last question. DNR has been collecting data over the last six to eight months on this very question and will be able to share their knowledge with the chapter. It's a great privilege to hear directly from a state scientist, so come on out and show your appreciation!
