House Joint Resolution commending the Lutheran Hospital of Maryland for its
leadership and contribution to the Rosemont Edmondson Village Area (REAL)
Charrette of Baltimore.

The [[House of Delegates]] General Assembly of Maryland hereby commends
the Lutheran Hospital of Maryland for its active role in the development of a
cohesive community organization in the Rosemont Edmondson Village Area of
Baltimore.

In mid 1972 the hospital began to coordinate the many neighborhood and
community groups of the area so that they could all speak with one voice. The
resulting organization, the Rosemont Edmondson Village and Lutheran (REAL)
Charrette, is today a viable and valuable tool for thousands of Baltimoreans.

Of particular interest to the REAL Charrette are the areas of community
services, housing, education and recreation, and a proposed one million dollars
capital improvement for Lutheran Hospital.

The Executive Vice President and Administrator of Lutheran Hospital, Mr.
John P. McDaniel, has opened the doors of the hospital, made available office
space and equipment, volunteered staff, and financially supported a recent five-day
long Charrette. In that Charrette, a course was charted for future community
growth and the example that Lutheran Hospital has given would be an exemplary
model for the rest of our State to emulate; now, therefore, be it
