Baltimore #35 is a very active chapter with approximately 200 members and is located in Baltimore, Maryland. Our chapter was founded in 1928. We are proud to have celebrated our 77th year of service!

Baltimore sends 7 or more children with cancer to Camp Sunshine each year. They sew "comfort pillows" for women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer. These pillows allow the patient to sleep a bit easier. Material is donated by a local dry goods store. They provide approximately 400 pillows that are distributed to the area hospitals according to their needs. These pillows provide comfort following surgery and are also useful under the seat belt when driving.

Activities include many shows, trips to New York City and Washington, D.C. as well as meetings and luncheons.

Our newspaper "The Wreath" is published three times a year. Letters to the editor are welcome. Please send your typed, double spaced contributions to:

Baltimore #35's accomplishments are many- there is hardly a hospital in Baltimore that does not bear a True Sister Plaque. We furnished the playroom at the Sinai Pediatric Oncology and Patient Department.
 
Last year we donated two high powered microscopes to help with bone marrow transplants.
 
At the University of Maryland Medical Systems we refurbished the Chemo Room, funded a Nurse Alert System, a Fitness Room for in patient cancer patients and donated televisions and necessary equipment.

We donated a beautiful Respite Room to Greater Baltimore Medical Center for their Oncology Department. There is also a fully equipped Respite Area at the Ronald McDonald House for families to do their laundry, cook, take showers and just relax and watch television in between visits to the hospital.
 
We also donated a second van to the House to transport children and their families to the various treatment centers. We furnished the main waiting room at The Northwest Hospital. Baltimore #35 contributed a special piece of equipment to the Oncology Research Center of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Additionally we provided a room at the Gilcrest Hospice.


Annually we budget money to Hope Lodge, Hackerman Patz and Ronald McDonald House and knit lap robes for Levindale as well as the comfort pillows.

              True Sisters will always be willing to be there when needed.
