Text Box: PICNIC DRAWS LARGE CROWD The annual town picnic attracted some 70 or more residents on July 13 to the town hall lawn despite impending rain. About half way through the festivities, as water began descending from the skies, the lively group migrated indoors.

Clean-up was organized by Eve Arber and Steve Matney. --Diana Hudson-Taylor and Julia Wilson Text Box: CLASSIFIED ADS Seeking full/part time employment as nanny/baby sitting, house cleaning, or home health care- current green card - call Martha Adarkwa 301-693-0311 Preserve your oral history: I was trained at the University of Maryland and have done oral histories for the National Park Service and Earth Watch.
