Although it was not their first weekend meeting outside the U.S, the most recent Guardsmen gathering was definitely an offshore affair. Monte Carlo, an elegant Mediterranean principality, was the scene Oct. 12-14 as 450 Guardsmen and their partners from throughout the 18 national chapters of the men’s social group that was founded nearly 80 years ago gathered at the Fairmount Hotel to romp for four days in a setting most often associated with the global jet-set. Baltimore’s chapter was represented by seven Guardsmen and their wives, or significant others, in what was labeled “Manhattan Royale,” a nod to the 007 spy thriller Casino Royale by the hosting chapter from
Brooklyn, N.Y. The fellowship group was created in 1933 by men from Howard and Lincoln universities and Morgan State College and, three times a year, one of the 18 chapters hosts a social weekend. There are chapters in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., New York City (Manhattan and Brooklyn), Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Connecticut, Detroit, Florida, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Norfolk, Va., North Carolina, Richmond, Va., Savannah, Ga. and St. Louis, Mo.
