breakfast; donations welcome. 

At 10 a.m., the monthly meeting of the NFBMD Greater Baltimore Chapter will

usual meeting events (hearing what the Greater Baltimore Chapter is doing in
the community, discussing national, state, and local happenings, listening
to the Presidential Release, etc.) but you will be able to bid on delicious
baked goods that are auctioned off to the highest bidder throughout the
meeting or buy some treats between 1 and 5 dollars at the bake sale table.
