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.

Purpose
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.
Service
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.

Purpose
The mission of Camelot West Family Services as a non-profit organization is to strive at help the community by providing informational services and offering the community a hand up not a handout.
Service
One of the many services Camelot West Family Services Inc. offers 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 followed by the Tree lighting and Santas Treats. Children can visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus in their house outside of the Westminster Library between Thanksgiving and Christmas, during Big Country Breakfast with Santa at Carroll County Career and Technology Center, They visit with families and classes at The Carroll County Farm Museum and visit local businesses such as Cultivated, Rudolph Girls and many other local businesses. We work with Carroll Springs Elementary Schools Sensory Santa events as well as sharing a date night with the amazing clients of Carroll County Adaptive Parks and Recreation for their annual Jingle Bell Hop. Santa and Mrs. Claus visit schools like Hampstead Elementary, and Assisted Living Facilities like The Terraces of Westminster and Golden Crest Assisted Living for Christmas in July and in December for their Holiday celebrations Since 2000 Sandi and Matthew West along with Camelot West Family Services have been collecting monetary donations every year to purchase stuffed animals and with the assistance of Santa and Mrs. Claus, Camelot West Family Services deliver the stuffed animals to the Herman Walter Samuelson Children's Hospital at Sinai and Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. These two hospitals provide a number of children with 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. In an article Helping Hospitalized Children Through the Gift of Stuffed Animals by Madison Petro and printed by Random Acts in March 27, 2024, For children and adults in hospitals, stuffed animals are often a multi-purpose coping tool for medical-related fears. Research shows that stuffed animals serve as a distraction from fears, as well as being a familiar face in an unfamiliar setting. Stuffed animals also help healthcare workers form a bond with the kids they treat. For more information reach out to us.

Purpose
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.
Service
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
Eligibility
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.

Purpose
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.

Purpose
The Division of Utilities is responsible for the operation and maintenance of water and wastewater systems and facilities in several specific areas of Carroll County.
Service
Description: Water: The Division operates and maintains the Freedom District water service system that provides drinking water to more than 20,000 customers in the greater Eldersburg / Sykesville area. The main component of this service system is the Freedom District Water Treatment Plant. This facility draws raw water from the Liberty Reservoir and is capable of producing as much as 4.0 MGD (million gallons per day) of drinking water using a membrane filtration method. The Freedom District water service system also includes three active water storage tanks with a total capacity of 2.5 million gallons and approximately 120 miles of distribution mains. In addition to this, the collection of Freedom groundwater sources, including the Raincliffe, Fairhaven wells, and Springfield Wells, will provide a supplemental source of drinking water to the system once appropriation issues are approved by the Maryland Department of the Environment and wellhouse treatment upgrades have been implemented. The Division is also responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Bark Hill water service system, which became operational in May of 1993, the Pleasant Valley water service system, in operation since March of 1991, and the Kabik Court water supply, which became a standalone service system in 2022. In addition, the Division conducts meter readings and replacements, fire hydrant maintenance, system flushing, and other maintenance requirements. Water quality reports for the three service systems are provided on an annual basis via the links in the area above. Wastewater: The Division operates and maintains a 0.9 MGD wastewater treatment plant in Hampstead, along with 35 miles of collection lines, including seven sewer pumping stations. In the Freedom District, the Division is accountable for the entire collection system (98 miles), which includes eleven major sewer pumping stations that feed the Maryland Environmental Services Wastewater Treatment Plant. Pleasant Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant became operational in March 1997, serving approximately 51 residences/businesses. The Division is also responsible for the operation and maintenance of several Board of Education facilities: South Carroll Wastewater Treatment Plant, Winfield Sewer Pumping Station, and Runnymede Wastewater Treatment Plant. Services: -Appointments with residents to check for water leaks or to replace water meters are conducted. -Annual Consumer Confidence Reports are sent to each residential or commercial property on the water system to inform them and assure them the water quality provided to them is of the highest quality available. -Fire hydrants are flushed semi-annually to keep distribution lines free from stagnant water and to provide the highest level of quality potable water to residents. -Fire flow tests are conducted for contractors as requested for new residential or commercial buildings. -Water Treatment Plant Operators work diligently around the clock 24/7 operating the plant to treat and deliver through the distribution system the highest quality water. -Sewer backups into homes, yards or sewer manhole overflows require operators to check sewer cleanouts and manholes for standing water in the sewer lines to the main for obstructions such as roots, grease or other debris discharged into the system.
Fees
Provides water conservation devices to the public upon request at a minimal cost; some items are free.

Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.

Donations are always needed, such as blankets, blanket-making supplies (cotton, flannel, or fleece fabric), yarn, thread, sewing supplies, working portable sewing machines, money for needed supplies, blanket labels, bags, and gift cards from stores such as JoAnn fabrics or WalMart for supplies.

Purpose
Vision: To be led by Jesus to be an intergenerational, multicultural, inclusive congregation that worships faithfully, learns joyfully, and reaches out compassionately. Mission: Gifted with God's grace, redeemed by God's Son, and filled with the Holy Spirit, we grow in our relationship with God, one another, and community. Through word and sacrament, we gather to worship, learn, and go into the world empowered to serve. What We Believe: Grace is a Lutheran church, a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The ELCA motto is "God's work; Our hands," and at Grace we are always trying to live that out, using our hands (and feet and voices and resources) to accomplish the work that God is calling us to in the world. A core Lutheran understanding of historic Christian teaching is that through the way, the truth, and the life of Jesus Christ, all people are made acceptable to God BY God. There is nothing that we do, and nothing that we or anyone else can do, to make that happen OR to prevent it from happening. God's love and favor and mercy are a gift, given by God to us, to you, and no one can take that gift away or withhold it. God loves us, full stop. You will often hear this gift called "grace," and it is why THIS church, like many Lutheran churches, is NAMED Grace! If you need to be reminded that God loves you, forgives you, renews you, calls you beloved child. grace is the way, and Grace is the place, for YOU. "But now, irrespective of law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed, and is attested by the law and the prophets, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." - Romans 3:21-24 "I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith." - Martin Luther, explanation of the third petition of the Apostles' Creed, Small Catechism

Purpose
The primary goal of the program is to enable participants to build self-confidence and take an active role in maintaining their health and managing their chronic health conditions.
Service
Living Healthy, Living Well is an Evidence-Based Self-Management program originally developed at Stanford University, and licensed through the Maryland Living Well Center of Excellence. These are workshops taught in 2 ½ hour sessions, once a week, for six weeks. Workshops are led by two trained lay leaders and are held in community settings such as community centers, senior centers, recreation centers, churches, libraries, clinics and hospitals, in groups of 10-16 individuals. Carroll County's Living Healthy, Living Well Program is licensed to deliver Chronic Disease Self-Management, Diabetes Self-Management, and Chronic Pain Self-Management, and train lay leaders to lead their own programs. Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions or Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Pain books are provided at no cost for each participant to use as a resource throughout the workshop (voluntary donations are accepted). Alternatively, individuals can receive a mailed 6-week, self-paced at home self-management Tool Kit for any of the programs offered (Chronic Disease, Diabetes or Chronic Pain), and take part in a weekly one-hour small group (2-3) conference call with a trained leader. Outcomes of these self-management programs include, improved health literacy, patient activation for self-management, increased physical activity, and improvement in: depression, unhealthy physical days, medication compliance, better health outcomes (reduced fatigue, pain, shortness of breath, stress, and sleep problems), fewer sick days, and reduced Emergency Department and hospitalization. Assumptions that underlie the program are that people with chronic conditions have similar concerns and problems, and they must deal not only with their disease, but also the impact these have on their lives and emotions. The programs were developed for people with chronic health problems and their significant others (spouses, close friends, close relatives) or for family caregivers of people with memory loss. Two trained leaders facilitate workshops. Besides condition-specific information, all workshops have some common elements. These include: action-planning, decision-making, and problem-solving. All workshops are designed to be self-tailoring. This means that different participants will be working on different behavior changes and problems, depending on their own needs and preferences. Workshops are highly participative, where mutual support and success build the participants' confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives. These programs will not conflict with existing programs or treatments, as they are designed to enhance regular treatment and disease-specific education. *Workshops are currently being held virtually. For more information, call 410-386-3818 or email LivingHealthy@carrollcountymd.gov. Or visit the Living Healthy, Living Well website https://www.carrollcountymd.gov/livinghealthy.

Purpose
Designated as a Main Street Maryland Community, Mount Airy, Maryland is a small town with a lot to offer.
Service
The Maryland General Assembly changed the dates of the Presidential and Gubernatorial Primary elections and as a result both the Frederick and Carroll County Board of Elections recommended the town of Mount Airy change their elections to fall on odd numbered years beginning in 2015. The Town Council had determined that it was in the best interest of the Town and its citizens to hold the 2012 and 2014 elections as scheduled on the first Monday in May then to effect changes in the Town Charter to thereafter begin to hold Town elections in odd numbered years beginning in 2015. Elections will continue to be held on the first Monday in May. Three town council members are elected at the same time and two years later the mayor and the remaining two town council members are elected. The Mount Airy Town Council meets at 7:30 pm the first Monday of each month at the town office.

Purpose
To provide a program of therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities.
Service
The program also provides a training center for Special Olympics Carroll County equestrian athletes. Therapeutic riding uses horses as tools to facilitate the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills of individuals with disabilities. The movement of the horse's gait develops and strengthens the normal gait of the physically challenged rider. Improved balance and sensory integration are other physical benefits. In addition, learning a new skill and mastering control of such sizable animals increases self-esteem. The therapeutic riding experience is rich in language input and opportunities to develop cognitive skills as well. This program provides different opportunities for various riders based on their needs and interests. The program adheres to the standards of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association to determine rider eligibility. A physician's referral is required of all prospective participants to screen for medical contraindications to riding. This program is entirely staffed by volunteers who fill many roles, such as instructors, side-walkers, horse handlers, facility maintenance and clerical support. New volunteers are always needed; training is provided. Contact Peggie at the number or email address above for registration information. Program operates September through October, and March to June.

Purpose
To operate, preserve, and maintain the historic Union Mills Homestead complex, built in 1797.
Service
The Union Mills Homestead is open seasonally for guided tours, providing visitors a glimpse into the lives of the six generations of one family that lived here over 160 years. The site is always available for tours by appointment and open for general admission tours in May, September, and October on weekends and June through August on Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 4 pm. Closed Mondays. The Union Mills Homestead complex is a museum of American culture providing visitors a view into two centuries of Maryland history. Interpretive tours through the historic Shriver Homestead reflect the evolution of rural living over a period from the Washington administration through the mid-twentieth century. The restored, working Grist Mill demonstrates how grist mills were among the earliest of American industries, using waterpower and automated milling technologies to turn grains into flour. The Homestead is known for its variety of annual events: the Flower & Plant Market the first weekend in May, Civil War Encampment on the 3rd weekend of July; the Annual Corn Roast Festival the first Saturday in August; and the Maryland Microbrewery Festival the last Saturday in September. The Union Mills Homestead is located on Route 97, seven miles north of Westminster and about 15 miles south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
