Carrollton Manor Volunteer Coalition

The Carrollton Manor Volunteer Coalition (CMVC) was formed in 2004 to join Community Organizations together to deal with local issues as a team and as a stronger voice.
The name “Carrollton Manor” refers to the land Charles Carroll called his summer home that stretched from Point of Rocks to Buckeystown.
The term Volunteer was selected because member organizations are required to be volunteer based organizations.
Representatives to the CMVC, are Presidents of their organizations or their designees.
Meetings are held at the Adamstown Grange on the Third Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm. Check the event calendar on this site for any changes to that schedule.
Have an issue or a problem concerning the area? Don’t know where to go to get it solved or an answer? Contact your organization’s representative.
Don’t have a representative? CMVC is seeking all local volunteer organizations and volunteer groups to join our Coalition to strengthen the organization and our community’s voice. Don’t belong to an organization, then contact any one of our representatives or attend our meeting as a guest.

The graphic of the property displayed on the Frederick News Post site is EastAlco's vision of how the property could be laid out to fit a swimming pool and a number of different types of athletic fields.  We will be working over the coming months to finalize a design and prioritize what can be implemented quickly to help alleviate the lack of facilities for our community.

Note: The graphic on the Frederick News Post web site incorrectly identifies the location of Carroll Manor Elementary School (the building identified is actually Trans-Tech).  This graphic has been updated to correctly identify Trans-Tech.

Results of third party testing show fluoride levels at CMES well within guidelines.  PTA President and CMVC Vice President Suzanne Fioravanti along with Bob Cramer (Carroll Manor Grange) tracked down the fluoride testing that is done in this area.  It is not done by the State, but rather by a third party - Environmental Strategies.  One of the areas they test is the deciduous trees and shrubs from in front of Carroll Manor Elementary School, and the report is sent to the FCPS.  She requested and just received an official copy of the the fluoride levels for the school. In summary - Maryland standards have a limit of 100ppm as maximum accepted levels of fluoride. The report shows that the trees in front of CMES have levels of 5-14 ppm depending on the type of tree. These tests are dated 8/22-23/2005. We believe that this information will help eliminate some of the fears being written in the FNP editorials. If the schools grounds are clean, the land right next to the school should also be clean - and this is the actual land being donated for the community.
