During the fraternal year 2001-2002 the Chapter hosted a summer exemplification of a 1st Degree at the August meeting. The exemplification team was selected from the Degree teams of the Chapter member councils. It was decided to make this an annual event. In December 2001 the Chapter sponsored attendance at a Christmas Holiday performance of the Way-Off-Broadway Dinner Theater in Frederick, Maryland. The evening was a great success and will become an annual activity of the Chapter. The February 2002 Chapter meeting was conducted at Mount St. Mary's College and Seminary Council # 1965 and the program for the meeting was a 2nd Degree Exemplification by the District 25 Degree team. The State Council 2nd Degree Evaluation Team was on hand to judge the work of the District team. During the State Convention in May 2002, the District # 25 team was recognized as the 3rd best team within Maryland. During the period April to June 2002, with the assistance of Our Lady of the Valley Council #11703, Middletown the Chapter conducted a raffle to raise funds for Chapter activities. The proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets were shared with member councils on a 50-50 basis for each ticket sold. This served to encourage council participation and provided needed funds for both the Chapter and member councils to expand the charitable work of the Order.
