First and formost, the Board of Directors care about everyone's safety and are closely monitoring the situation and guidance on the pandemic form the national, state and local leaders. The President recommends people avoid gatherings of 10 or more people. Governor Hogan has banned gatherings of 10 or more people in our state. Based on this guidance, the board has decided to cancel all the scheduled events effective March 18th and run through the end of May. The Board will reassess goverment guidance prior to the end of May to determine next step on reopening the club. Below are some highlights of importance.
1. Your door code will not work.
2. If you are interested in purchasing a pistol frame, contact Larry Stouffer or Herb Cooper. They will make arrangements for you to purchase one.
3. At this time we are unsure of our Wounded Warrior event on May 16th. Therefore we will not be purchasing T-shirts at this time. If you sent money for one we will hold it until we know what is going on.
4. Any new memberships will be processed at the June meeting.
We understand the inconvenience this has posed on all of us and we apologize for that, however we hope that all understand and support or decision. We will get our club back up and running as quickly as possible.

Welcome to the Web site of the Washington County Maryland Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America. Our chapter was founded in 1947.
We are one of over 350 national chapters and one of 15 chapters in Maryland. Our chapter is located in beautiful Washington County Maryland along the Conococheague Creek.
This site was started in early 2008 and seems to help keep members up to date with activities held at our club. We have been very fortunate to have held many State and National Events this year, with many of our visitors being very pleased with what they experienced while visiting our grounds and this part of Maryland. Many thanks go out to the dedicated volunteers who put in many hours to make all of our events a success.
