This isn't your granddad's HAM radio.
President Steve Kelley​

When your Vonage, Comcast, or FiOS phone line goes dead because of a storm or power failure, "who ya gonna call???" NOBODY!!!

Amateur radio is the only system of communications that is resilient to storms and disruptions to the power and communications grid and works as long as your batteries or home generator hold up.

Stewards
Preparing food for the Wednesday Luncheons and refreshments after each Boumi Business Meeting
Chief Bruce Mulligan
​
One thing that can be said about most nobles is that they like FOOD. Some like to eat, some like to cook, and a few even like pitching in to provide a meal for the rest of the nobility. It is that last group of nobles that we need more of.
​
Have a club or unit meeting you'd like us to cater? Let us know!
​
The Stewards meet on Boumi business meeting nights at 6 p.m. in the kitchen. Where else would you expect them to meet?

The Ambassadors meet every 2nd Thursday at 6 p.m.

The first meeting of the Ambassadors Club of Boumi was held in the Wedgewood Room of the Emerson Hotel in Baltimore at 4:30 PM Wednesday, March 2, 1960. Divan members present were Illustrious Potentate William O. Barnes, First Ceremonial Master George Bratt, and Marshal Robers A. Phelps. Twenty-two other Nobles of Boumi were present at the meeting. Three main areas of concern, at that time, were to be the goals of the Ambassadors, namely: membership, advertising in Boumi News, and goodwill throughout Shrinedom.
