Neighborhood Meet & Greet

NWCA is hosting a casual Meet & Greet for neighbors on Sunday, November 17, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, at the grassy area by the bench at 3rd Ave. and Lanier Dr.

It’s a great opportunity to form new connections with neighbors or simply enjoy an afternoon outside with friendly faces.

We’ll have free seasonal refreshments and a game of cornhole. No formal introductions or agendas, just a chance to get to know who’s around. Be sure to bring a jacket in case it’s a bit chilly. We look forward to seeing you there!

2024 Talbot Avenue Bridge Lantern Walk

Mark your calendars for the 2024 Talbot Avenue Bridge Lantern Walk on Saturday, November 16 at 5:00pm!

As many of you know, this is an annual family-friendly community event that weaves together neighborhoods once divided by racial segregation and fittingly takes place during Montgomery County’s “Remembrance and Reconciliation” Month.

The event is organized by the Talbot Avenue Bridge Committee and co-sponsored by the Lyttonsville Civic Association, North Woodside Citizens’ Association, and Rosemary Hills Neighbors’ Association.

This year, for the first time, the Lantern Walk will cross the fully completed new Talbot Avenue Bridge. We will also be honoring the memory of lifelong Lyttonsville resident and longtime civic leader Charlotte Coffield.

Start location: Parking lot of Rosemary Hills Elementary School, just below intersection of Talbot Ave. and Lanier Dr. (Lyttonsville side of bridge). Lantern Walk will start and end here and be immediately followed by a community reception in the all-purpose room of Rosemary Hills Elementary School.

For more information and updates about the event go to: bit.ly/TABLanternWalk

We hope you will be able to join us for an evening filled with light, love, and community!
