About Greater Baltimore County Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.
The Baltimore County, MD Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated was born through the concept of Mother Gloria Marrow. She sought to fulfill the organization’s mission and represent a growing African-American population in the suburbs of Baltimore so she voluntarily left the Baltimore City chapter of which she had been a member since 1979 to begin a Baltimore County interest group. She recruited several mothers who were interested in becoming members of Jack and Jill and lived in Baltimore County. By the time the request for chartering was officially drafted there were 22 mothers that formed the Chartering Group. By 1987 the group was in the Chartering Orientation stage. In July of 1988 at the National Convention in San Francisco, these forward thinking women were voted into membership of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.
On October 1, 1988, the Baltimore County, MD Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. was given their Charter membership and its’ Officers were installed. The Chartering Ceremonies, reception and program was held at the Holiday Inn-Belmont.
