The Board has approved plans to participate in a Quad Chapter meeting to be held in Baltimore in October, 2012. The Philadelphia Regional Chapter will be working with the Southern Chapter, Mid-Atlantic Chapter, and the New York-New Jersey Chapter. The steering committee has begun discussions, and the Tremont Plaza Hotel has been selected as the convention site. The Tremont, voted Baltimore’s Best Hotel for 2010, is an all-suite hotel located just blocks from the Inner Harbor, the National Aquarium, and the Science Center. More information—and a call for participation and willing hands—will be coming soon.
