ONE MOUNTAIN FOUNDATION MEMBERSHIP

October 1, 2011

     The One Mountain Foundation has kicked off the 2012 membership drive.  This is our 10th Anniversary of serving our mountaintop community.  OMF's annual membership year is between January 1st and December 31st.

     The One Mountain Foundation has very successfully accomplished its stated goals over the past ten years.

  • Mountaintop Heritage Days – OMF has conducted this two-day regional event since 2006 in Blue Ridge Summit and in Cascade on the former Fort Ritchie Army post.  The event has included live entertainment, a parade, craft and food vendors, children's activities and games, living history symposiums and encampments, car shows, fireworks, a community worship service, and other fun, family focused activities.  Local non-profit organizations (fire departments, churches, Sons of the American Legion) have benefitted over the years by collectively netting over $45,000 from this event.

  • Fund-Raisers – OMF sponsored events and/or accepted tax deductible donations for community organizations such as the "Help Hotline" (community food bank) and the Cascade Elementary School PTA for replacement of the school's playground equipment.

  • Fort Ritchie Community Center – OMF represented Mountaintop residents in establishing the need for a fitness and recreational center resulting in the 2008 opening of the center.

  • Civil War Trails Markers – OMF, working with community and historical organizations, arranged for the erection of the State of Pennsylvania and the State of Maryland Civil War Trails Markers in Blue Ridge Summit, PA and PenMar Park, MD to commemorate the July 1863 Battle of Monterey Pass.

  • Biannual Dinner Theaters – Since 2008, OMF in conjunction with the Blue Ridge Theater Guild has conducted fall and spring dinner theaters for the community's enjoyment.

  • Historical Preservation – OMF conducted “Thunder on the Mountain” Civil War historical seminar; "Understanding the East German Soldier of the Cold War" living history symposium; "Memories of Pen Mar" which included memorabilia collector's displays, live music, and the premier of the Historical Entertainment film The Grand Hotels of the Blue Ridge; and the premier of another historical documentary titled Ten Days and Still They Come:  The Battle of Monterey Pass, complete with live music, period readings, displays of memorabilia and historic artifacts, and reenactors in period clothing.

     All these activities occurred in our local Mountaintop communities, allowing our community organizations to receive much deserved recognition and financially profit from the conduct of the events.

     OMF's plans for the 2012 membership year are to continue to build on past successes by conducting the 7th Annual Mountaintop Heritage Days, two dinner theaters, historically focused activities, and additional fund raisers for community organizations.  A goal for 2012 is to award four $1,000.00 scholarships to a deserving senior in each of the four high schools serving the mountaintop.  OMF will continue to press for the development of the Mountain Heritage Museum and will work in coordination with the Mountain Heritage Historical Society to accomplish this.  And OMF will continue to pursue with the Maryland Wineries Association the conduct of a Mountain Vintage Wine Festival.

     The OMF Board of Directors hopes that you will join us in 2012, either as a new member of our organization or as a renewal of your current membership, and additionally participate on one of our committees.  2012 members will receive a special OMF remembrance for joining or renewing membership.  Additionally, this past year saw the initiation of a monthly membership raffle for a special OMF prize.  The Board hopes that you will also consider an additional tax deductible gift and receive the recognition mentioned on the application form.  Your generosity greatly assists the one Mountain Foundation in accomplishing the planned activities in the upcoming membership year, benefiting not only yourself as a donor, but the Mountaintop Community as a whole.  Please print and complete the membership application whose link is at the right.

     The OMF Board also welcomes business/corporate sponsorships.  For your sponsorship, your business/corporation will receive acknowledgement in all printed OMF event programs, OMF Information Table display at community events, and on the OMF web site Home Page for the 2012 calendar year.  Please complete the sponsorship application also whose link is at the right..

     Your generosity greatly assists the One Mountain Foundation in accomplishing the planned activities in the upcoming membership year, benefitting not only yourself as a donor or sponsor, but the Mountaintop community as a whole.

Thank you.
