A Maryland chapter raises money for Sandy victims in New Jersey
After Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states last fall, Good Sam chapters were quick to lend a helping hand. Case in point: Maryland’s Oriole Ramblers rescheduled activities at their 40th anniversary celebration to host a fundraising 50-50 raffle, with proceeds going to help hurricane victims on the hard-hit Jersey shore.
The Oriole Ramblers had planned November’s 40th anniversary get-together all year, reserving the pavilion and adjacent campsites at Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s Old Mill Stream Campground. Member families traveled to the campout in 11 rigs, along with several invited guests. Together, they raised $200 to donate to a relief fund for their New Jersey neighbors.
Then it was time to celebrate the Oriole Ramblers’ four decades of fun and fellowship by slicing into a cake iced with the chapter’s namesake bird. Members explored Pennsylvania Dutch Country and enjoyed each other’s company, much the same way the chapter’s founders did back in 1972.
