2018 ASM Fall Meeting

On Saturday October 13 the Archaeology Society of the Northern Chesapeake (ASNC), a Chapter of ASM,  hosted the Archeological Society of Maryland, Inc (ASM) 2018 Fall Meeting at St. John's Episcopal Church in Havre de Grace, Md.  

The Fall Meeting starts with the Annual ASM Business Meeting, and this year included the election of officers and board.  Instead of having chapter reports during the business meeting, chapters were requested to bring a display highlighting their activities.  The CCASM members attending were Annetta, Belinda, Carol, and Jim.  Carol brought the display for CCASM. 

It's always fun to catch up with others from around the state and hear what they are doing.  But the highlight of the meeting was the talks.  All of the speakers were from ASNC.
