Olney Mill Community Association

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.
