JERUSALEM TEMPLE NO. 4 – BALTIMORE, MD the Desert of Maryland as Nobles and Daughters and paint a positive picture of their impact throughout the state.

When we know better, we do better.

Involvement in the local communities informs the Nobles and Daughters of where their assistance is needed. It points them in a more calibrated direction of where to concentrate their united efforts. The year 2023 was an awesome year, and the credit is alaudid to the leadership of all nine Temples and eight Courts.

“The awesome accomplishments of the Desert of Maryland are a result of the membership…my team makes this job easy,” said Imperial Deputy of the Desert of Maryland, Honorary Past Imperial Potentate Anthony D. Thorpe.

“…the neighborhood citizens of Maryland have supported us, well it’s our turn to support Maryland.”

Nine Temples and eight Courts equal one Desert, which must resonate as more than just a motto. The Desert of Maryland is a united Team of Nobles and Daughters representing the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America and its Jurisdiction, Inc. in a small part of the world.
