“Line 28: During a typical calendar year, Antietam Historical Association issues five (5) or six (6) four-page newsletters, one (1) journal, fifteen (15) to twenty (20) email bulletins, and one (1) hardbound special book. The Covid-19 pandemic depressed these number, but AHA has begun returning to its pre-pandemic operations effective April 1, 2022. Line 29: During a typical year, AHA's two monthly study groups, the Potomac Street Irregulars and Third Thursday Biography Breakfast, meet to study crime in local history and the lives of deceased local residents, respectively. A third study group, the Antietam Ramblers, take field trips when weather permits. The Covid-19 quarantine prevented these groups from meeting during 2021. The crime study group's objective is to discover crimes committed in the region drained by Antietam creek, analyze them in order to create a better understanding of what causes crime and how to combat it. Their findings are published. The biography breakfast group studies a cross-section of persons who have dwelt in the region; subjects are not restricted to well-known or prominent persons. This creates a better understanding of the total demographic of the community. Line 30: The time and resources spent on free research assistance varies greatly from month to month and case to case. All expenses listed in Part III are estimates of how expenses are apportioned across the several Program Services. All of these Programe Services are designed to promote the organization's basic mission: to educate people through a meaningful interpretation of the history of the region in Maryland and Pennsylvania drained by Antietam creek and thus create a better world. Line 31: During an ordinary year, AHA sponsors two (2) bus trips; however, this service was suspended during 2020 and 2021.”

“During 2021, the Covid-19 quarantine depressed the number of hours each person devoted to the organization.”
