This club was founded in 1986 by five charter members.  This club was named MarVa Silent Bass Anglers.  The name “MarVa” came from names of two states - Maryland and Virgina.  At the time the club was founded, Washington, DC was considered not to be included for many reasons.  MarVa Silent Bass Anglers is a non-profit organization.  The club was founded solely for the deaf.

- Affiliation with NBAD since 1993 (still “a new club” for NBAD)
 
MarVa Silent Bass Anglers started the affiliation with National Bass Association of the DEAF in 1993.  Some MarVa Silent Bass Anglers went to La Grange, Georgia to show our new club.  We learn so much about NBAD that we want to be part of NBAD as long as we can. During NBAD tournaments in  Georgia ‘93, Missouri ‘94 and Florida ‘95  the people have not really yet recognized MarVa Silent Bass Anglers. MarVa member Bobby Seremeth became the first MarVa member to be elected Treasurer for NBAD (‘95-’97).  We are proud to be an excellent club. Add about Marva's first NBAD tourney at Lake Anna:

how often do we have meeting (when / where)  

The president has the right to call for the meeting.  Usually, we have a meeting after the tournament each month.
