• The Location

Our host for this year, Dr. Allen P. Dickerson (Chancellor of the Maryland Baptist Bible College and Pastor of the Maranatha Baptist Church) has graciously invited our DEAN BURGON SOCIETY to his church in Elkton, MD, for our 22nd annual meeting.  Can you come and be with us?   The Maranatha Baptist Church is located at 3141 Old Elk Neck Road, Box 246, Elkton, Maryland.  The phone number is 410-398-3764.  Call Dr. Dickerson if you need further instructions or details.  

• Dress Code

As we mentioned in our last, D.B.S. News, out of respect, please observe the church's DRESS CODE:  Ladies wear respectable skirts or dresses (no slacks).  No shorts for men or women at our meetings.  

• The Dates

The dates for our 22nd annual meeting of our DEAN BURGON SOCIETY have been set for Wednesday and Thursday, July 19-20, 2000.  We hope you can set aside these dates for this July and join us at the Maranatha Baptist Church in Elkton, Maryland.  Pastor Dickerson estimated the seating capacity of his church at about 450.  There's room for you.  Come and be with us!  

• Messages on Radio

Dr. Dickerson has said that he would be happy to put all of our messages on his WOEL radio station.  This is indeed a most generous gift to our Dean Burgon Society ministry.  Once before we had some of our evening messages covered on the air, but never in 22 years have ALL of the messages been aired.  We thank Dr. Dickerson and his staff in advance for this generous gift.  It should make our men even more  on their toes than usual.  

•  Our Speakers

We are thankful to Dr. Bob Barnett, one of our DBS Vice Presidents, for his good work in contacting our speakers for their availability and subjects.  Here are the speakers, the topics, and the times.

•    Meals

Our host, Maranatha Baptist Church, has offered to prepare meals for our Dean Burgon Society attenders on a freewill  offering basis.  The baskets will be out at the beginning of the food line.  We believe our people will be more than generous in offsetting these expenses.  We are grateful to the church for providing this for us.  On Wednesday, the church will serve two meals:  lunch and supper.  On Thursday, they'll serve three meals-- breakfast, lunch and supper meals.  

• Motels Available

You can receive a list of the motels available in the area by calling either Dr. Dickerson (410-398-3764) or Dr. Waite (856-854-4452).
