Increasingly, I will spend time writing about community groups that are doing good work in Howard County. With that in mind, today I am highlighting
the Continental Societies, Incorporated.
There is a personal connection here, as the Mrs. was inducted into that
organization (specifically the Southeastern Howard/Laurel Chapter) this
afternoon in a gathering that occurred at the Sheraton Columbia Town Center.
Many luminaries were present at the induction; as the new members joined an international public service organization that focuses on
five key programmatic areas: health, education, employment, recreation and
arts/humanities. This distinguished
Continental Societies, Inc. chapter entered into a partnership with the Howard
County Public School System shortly after being founded and has instituted a
number of initiatives and activities “for many children and youth in our
service area.” [Source: “Brief Chapter History”]
I look forward to covering the programs and service efforts
they will implement in the coming months.
Congratulations to the new members of the sisterhood and thank you to
all of the Continentals for all of the work you do to help the youth of Howard
County. More information about the
organization can be found here:
On another note, I am evaluating my volunteer/service possibilities
for 2015. I have a meeting next week
with one potential organization. If I
join, I will tell you all about it.
There are some other intriguing options, but I will talk about those if
and when it becomes appropriate to do so.
Stay tuned, as more will follow.
