JULY 15 “Glen Echo: The Remarkable Saga of a Very Small Town” has been printed and will be available free to town residents at a book party on Saturday, July 15, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Photographs of the town and townspeople through its history will be on view and refreshments will be served. The 172-page paperback, with 58 illustrations and a map of the town, was written by Carlotta Anderson and financed by a $2,500 grant from the Maryland Historic Preservation Commission with the provision that the amount be matched by the Town of Glen Echo. The total cost of designing and printing 200 copies by Rockville Printing & Graphics was $2,696.32. The town will be responsible for $196.32 of the cost, but the volunteer work by the author can be used to fulfill the remaining amount of the town’s $2,500 share. Each property in town will be allotted one copy of the book. Any extra copies desired by residents will be priced at $10. The price for those not resident in Glen Echo will be $15. There will be a list of town addresses at the book party, which will be checked off when each book is picked up. Those not able to attend the book party will be able to pick up a copy of the book later at the town hall during regular office hours.
