The John Lancaster and W. Cecil Short Charity Foundation (JLWCSCF) was established in 2008, under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code, exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. The goal of the foundation is to enhance the quality of life of citizens in the Southern Maryland Region through education and cultural awareness. The JLWCSCF is named in honor of two outstanding citizens: Mr. John Lancaster (deceased) from St Mary’s County, Maryland, and Mr. W. Cecil Short (deceased) of Charles County, Maryland. Both men are well known for their achievements in the area of education and community service, as well as their commitment to the betterment of Southern Maryland communities.



In 2006, Southern Maryland, Waldorf resident, Roberta Berry sought out members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., who were Charles County residents. As the search grew it became evident that the number of interested women spanned not only Charles County, but Calvert and St. Mary’s counties as well. Recognizing an increase in the minority population, a team of women came together to spearhead the chartering effort, along with Roberta were Dawn Chism, Elevear Johnson, and Wanda Noel. The team along with the other interested women were determined to explore the possibility of chartering a chapter in the Tri-County MD area.   As local Deltas learned about others who lived in and around Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s Counties, the chartering team’s efforts resulted in the final move toward establishing a local sisterhood.   In August of 2010, Soror Elvear Johnson succumbed to her illness, but was fully aware of the strides of the chartering team to continue the work to charter a chapter serving the communities in the Tri-County MD area.   The chapter recognizes Soror Johnson as an honorary posthumous member.   On March 27, 2011, Tri-County (MD) Alumnae Chapter (TCMDAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was chartered by twenty-one dynamic women, determined to make a difference in the community.
