In this presentation, he will portray Dr. William Beanes, the Maryland physician whose troubles with the British military during the War of 1812 ultimately led Francis Scott Key to write our national song. For more information about the program, please see www.cruzatte.com/beanes.pdf. For the last ten years, MR Slosberg has given programs throughout the country as Pierre Cruzatte, the fiddler with the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
Also, beginning this month we are conducting a 50/50 raffle as an ongoing fundraiser. We will conduct a raffle at each chapter meeting. It works such that the proceeds are split between one winner getting 50% and the chapter coffers receiving the other 50%. Tickets are priced as such:
$5 = 2 tickets
$10 = 5 tickets
$20 = 12 tickets
(pricing based on not wanting to make our treasurer accommodate 1$ bills).
You must be present to win. The drawing will be conducted immediately after the chapter business portion of our meeting.
