       We will meet in our church parking lot no later than 8:45 AM. where various members will be driving to Hunt Valley, and there we will board the light rail (cost per person is $3.20) and ride right into Inner Harbor.  We will tour Old Otterbein shortly after arrival and eat lunch in the Harbor.  An exciting and adventurous day is planned.  Please sign up on the bulletin board outside
