To offer an opportunity for dedicated and environmentally conscious volunteers to adopt a stretch of state road for which they will be responsible for picking up litter four times a year on a two year contract.

SHA will provide a sign acknowledging adopting volunteers or groups by name, reflective vests, trash bags, and two SWAT signs to notify motorists that a group is ahead. Groups should call to see which stretch of a state road is available for adoption. Participating parties then sign a two-year agreement stating that they will pick up the litter along their stretch of highway at least four times a year. An agreement will also be included verifying that all safety conditions are understood and will be followed. The minimum age for participation is 12 years of age. Participants under the age of 18 years must be supervised by an adult (18 years or older). Participants are welcome to keep and redeem any recyclables along their stretch of state road.

Such vehicles range from cars and trucks, to buses, fire engines, and even farm equipment. Many of our members own one or two collector vehicles. Several of our members have very large collections. Our member vehicles range widely, from Modern Muscle . . . to Model Ts. Collections include both Cars and Trucks, Domestic and Foreign. Some of our members have no collector vehicles at all. Ownership of such a vehicle is not a prerequisite for membership! From this diverse group of club members, every year we elect and appoint our management. Such membership diversity makes for strong, effective leadership. We are a well-established club. Our history goes back to 1955, when we received our National AACA Regional Charter. New members who are just interested in learning about this fascinating hobby and enjoying the friendship of fellow enthusiasts are always welcome. We hold monthly membership meetings in the Towson, Maryland area. Our typical annual events are held throughout the regional area. Come out to some of our monthly membership meetings, and to some of our upcoming annual events and get to know us. We’d love to meet you.

Anyone interested in these automobiles is welcome.

Nominal dues are charged.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1968, the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Ellicott City Station is the oldest surviving railroad station in the country. Built in 1831, Ellicott City (then Ellicott's Mills) was the first stop on the B&O Main Line, 13 miles outside of Baltimore, Maryland. The station was originally designed to handle freight, but eventually transitioned to also serve passengers by 1857. Although passenger service was discontinued in 1949, freight service continued until 1972. The station was preserved and restored by local preservation groups to continue to share the important role the B&O Railroad played in local industrial history.

Taking guests back in time, the Baltimore & Ohio Ellicott City Station Museum welcomes walk-in visitors Wednesdays through Thursdays, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Fridays through Sundays, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., features exhibits and a gifts shop, and offers guided group tours, summer camps, rental opportunities and much more activities throughout the year.

And for those seeking help and information about senior living, we offer answers to their questions and solutions for meeting the unique and individual needs of each resident and their family. It all starts with listening to and understanding the unmet needs of those we are talking with; their hopes and uncertainties for themselves or for loved ones. Then we partner with them to determine a solution designed to help enrich their lives. We believe that growing older doesn't mean the options for enjoying life have to shrink. Our philosophy is that we're all aging, but that should never keep us from living.

Brookdale's brand of Assisted Living provides rewarding lifestyles and comfortable accomodations combined with an exceptional blend of service, care and hospitality. With an impressive line of features and amenities, Brookdale residents enjoy life with all the support they may require.

Since 2001 Sandi and Matthew have been collecting funds every year that they then use to purchase Teddy Bears/ stuffed animals, and with the assistance of Santa and Mrs. Claus they deliver the toys to the Pediatric Oncology Units at both Sinai and Johns Hopkins Children's Centers in Baltimore. These 2 hospitals provide children of all ages with the needed medical care at a very crucial time in their young lives. We in-turn provide the families with a simple gift that carries them through a difficult time and beyond. Camelot West is also a good starting point for information on obtaining assistance in the community for families who are looking for support groups, government non-profits and Special Needs services. It is our Mission to give people in our community A Hand Up not a Handout and working with groups such as the Community Foundation of Carroll County, Get Connected and other non-profits in the community we do our best to assist those who need it.

One of the many services we offer is sponsoring Santa and Mrs. Claus for the City of Westminster since 2012. Santa and Mrs. Claus can be seen in the Miracle on Main Street Holiday parade, the tree lighting and Santa's Treats at the Westminster Library. Children can visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus at their little Westminster House on the front lawn of the Library every Saturday 12-4pm. between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Parents may take their own pictures in a calm relaxed setting. Santa has also been known to have his picture taken with dogs, cats and even a rabbit or two. In 2018 Santa and Mrs. Claus started seeing families at the Carroll County Farm Museum every Sunday from 12-4pm as well. (No pets allowed at the Museum though) Santa and Mrs. Claus have been seen hosting Breakfast with Santa at the Carroll County Career and Tech Center, making Holiday decorations, attending holiday and birthday parties, along with reading stories to children at Nature Centers, Hampstead elementary School and other locations around the community. In 2020 Santa and Mrs. Claus joined the electronic age and participated in Zoom and TEAMs calls with the Carroll County Library and Sinai Hospital. They attended Drive-by Meetings with Santa and Mrs. Claus along with several other opportunities that allowed children in the community to tell Santa what they would like for Christmas. Santa and Mrs. Claus have attending Special events such as Sensory Santa hosted by the Carroll County Family Support Network for Children with Special Needs and Adaptive Parks and Recreation's Jingle Bell Hop both held at Carroll Springs Elementary School, Cookies with Santa at Hampstead Elementary School, and patronizing local restaurants such as O'Lordan's, Johansson's, Classico Pizzeria, JeannieBird Baking Company and Lost Lion in the Month of December.

It all begins with a simple yet important phone call. Choosing a safer senior housing option, or a company to help an older adult age in place at home, unfortunately, cannot be made by appearance and online reviews alone. What is most important is something that really can't be seen. It is "Can this community or agency really care for your senior?" That's why CarePatrol's advisors complete a "Care Discovery" and base our recommendations on care options that can specifically meet your individual needs and preferences.

We provide free advisory services to those needing additional services at home or in a care community including: *Discovery of specific needs through a personalized care questionnaire * Introduction to agencies and care communities which meet an individual's specific needs and budget * Guided tours of communities, to include full care details and transparent pricing *Transition support to including that on moving day *Continuing care support that endures long after services begin or move-in occurs

There are no specific eligibility guidelines; however, if an individual's budget will not support the costs of services or living arrangements needed, we connect them with any and all community programs and services available in their area.

Civil Air Patrol has a three-part mission that includes, Emergency Services, Aerospace Education and Cadet Programs. CAP volunteer members play a leading role in providing aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than 26,000 young people currently participating in cadet programs. Cadets pursue programs that develop leadership skills, advance the importance of aerospace and cyber technology and teach a sense of duty and purpose in community service. Civil Air Patrol, the longtime all-volunteer U.S. Air Force auxiliary, is the newest member of the Air Force’s Total Force. In this role, CAP operates a fleet of 560 aircraft, performs about 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 80 lives annually. CAP’s 63,000 members also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. In addition, CAP plays a leading role in aerospace/STEM education, and its members serve as mentors to over 26,000 young people participating in CAP’s Cadet Programs. Visit www.GoCivilAirPatrol.com or www.CAP.news for more information. More than 1,500 CAP members serve in Maryland. Last year wing members flew 13 search and rescue missions. The wing was credited with five finds and one life saved. Maryland Wing flew 32 missions for the State of Maryland. Members flew 2,106 hours in all mission categories. Volunteers contributed services estimated at 4.6 million dollars.

CAP's Carroll Squadron cadet programs are structured leadership development programs for youth ages 12-20. Meetings are held from 7 to 9 p.m., every Tuesday in Westminster. The Civil Air Patrol is an aviation oriented volunteer organization where young men and women learn teamwork, leadership skills and have fun at the same time. The Carroll Squadron programs provide an opportunity for cadets to earn student service-learning hours as required for Maryland school graduation. Adult members can pursue interests in emergency services, as well as mentoring cadets in aerospace education and other cadet programs. For pilots, Carroll Squadron's Cessna 172 flies over 200 hours every year, most of which are paid for while our volunteers fulfill various Missions for America. If you have the skill and the desire to give back to aviation, we'd like you to fly with us. If you are interested in becoming a cadet or senior member, you are welcomed to attend one of our meetings for more information.

Senior Officers - over age 18; Cadets - 12 to 21, but have to join before they turn 19.

The Carroll County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) was created pursuant to Article 66B of the Annotated Code of Maryland and the Zoning Chapter of the Carroll County Code of Public Local Laws and Ordinances. The BZA deals exclusively with land use cases. The Board hears and decides requests for conditional uses and variances. In addition, the BZA hears appeals from decisions of County officials and agencies concerning land use and zoning matters. Like a court, the Board hears evidence, takes testimony under oath, accepts exhibits and makes decisions based on all of the evidence presented at the hearing. The BZA has no legislative power; therefore, it can neither make nor modify the zoning laws or policies.
