Start your holiday season off right with one of Olney Mill’s oldest traditions! Gather around the Mill House and enjoy some delicious treats, holiday music and great company with your Olney Mill friends and neighbors.

Santa Claus is scheduled to arrive around 7:30 p.m., so get your cameras ready…
Residents planning to come are asked not to park in front of the Mill House, as it is a “No Parking” zone and Santa’s arrival spot.

Anyone wishing to volunteer should contact the Hotline at (301) 231-3739 prior to the event. SSL hours are available.

Calling All Olney Mill ghosts, goblins, mummies & witches (any child in costume) to join in the Olney Mill Halloween Parade! Come march around with us and show everyone how scary you can be…

We will meet parade around the park, play some games and eat some special ghostly treats. There will be prized for the prettiest, scariest and funniest costumes – so be sure to bring all of the ghouls, ghosts and goblins at your house. All ages are welcome!

We are looking for volunteers to help out with the event. Student Service Learning (SSL) hours are available. For more information, call the Hotline at (301) 231-3739. There is no raindate for the event.

On Saturday, March 20, 2010, OMCA will be sponsoring its 7th Annual Community Clean Up. Bring your families and friends to join us for our annual celebration of Earth Day! Student Service Learning (SSL) hours will be credited to our student volunteers. The cleanup will begin at 9:00 a.m. at three different staging areas: the Olney Mill House, the Olney Family Park (on Willow Grove Road) and the Olney Neighborhood Park (on Charline Manor Road). March 21th is our official “rain date”, but if it’s just drizzling lightly on Saturday, we will go ahead as scheduled. Any last minute announcements or postponements will be posted on the OMCA website by 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning (www.olneymill.net). After the Clean-up (around noon), all volunteers are invited to join us for a pizza lunch, compliments of OMCA. To volunteer, just show up at a staging area at 9:00. For details, go to the web site or contact Dennis Twombly at datwombly@verizon.net or (301) 570-0394.

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt, with games and prizes for children of all ages, will be held at the Olney Family Park off of Willow Grove on Monday, April 5, 2010. The activities will start promptly at noon, so plan to arrive early. Dress warmly, if necessary, and bring your buckets and baskets!

We need some parent volunteers to stuff candy and trinkets into the eggs over the next few weeks, and to help coordinate the activities during the event. Volunteers should contact Ginger Twombly at (301) 461-9588 or vctwombly@verizon.net. Student Service Learning (SSL) hours are available.
