Glen Ross Rd. & Luzerne Ave.
Join us to learn about Hanukkah, sing, eat latkes, and light the menorah. Then, more singing, lighting the tree, a visit from Santa Claus, and hot cider.
Donations gratefully accepted.
The North Woodside Roots & Shoots group invites neighbors to take part in a participatory community art project.
The “Thankful Tree” the group constructed last weekend can be found in the green space at 3rd Ave. and Lanier Dr.
The kids worked hard cutting out and painting lots of leaves for the tree and enjoyed writing things they are thankful for on many of them…family…friends…vecinos…good tasting food…love…and more!
The kids would be thrilled if neighbors added more leaves to the Thankful Tree: What are you thankful for? Write on a painted leaf and attach to the tree!
Extra leaves can be found, along with a few permanent markers, in a box underneath the bench. Please tie tightly to branches so they don’t blow off.
Begun in 2018, the Talbot Avenue Bridge Lantern Walk is an annual local community event that weaves together neighborhoods once divided by racial segregation. All are welcome! Come join us in shining our lights in the darkness, promoting unity over division, remembering the past and taking steps toward a brighter future…
WHEN: Saturday, November 12, 2022*
Gather by 5:15pm, Lantern Walk will commence soon after
WHERE: 4th Avenue and Hanover Street

View Route
See below for three different ways to participate
BRING: Warm clothing, a lantern, and a bell to ring, if you have one
Note: Any type of lantern will do, from a tea light candle in a glass jar to
something more elaborate, either handmade or store-bought. You can
find many ideas online: bit.ly/HomemadeLanterns. If you have the time
and energy, we encourage you to get creative! Extra lanterns and
tea light candles will be available for anyone who needs them.

* Rain date: Sunday, November 13, 2022 (any event updates will be posted to bit.ly/TABLanternWalk)
Ways to Participate
Residents of Lyttonsville, North Woodside, and Rosemary Hills are invited to participate in one of three ways:
1) Join for the whole lantern walk. As the route is not a loop, residents of North Woodside will need to walk back or have someone pick you up in Lyttonsville.
2) Join for a portion of the lantern walk. For example, residents of North Woodside can join for the portion that goes through the neighborhood (e.g. 4th Ave -> Warren St/A Wider Circle).
3) Watch the lantern walk pass by. Neighbors who live along the route can come out of their homes to watch, wave, and hold a candle or lantern of their own in solidarity. Neighbors who live elsewhere can come stand along the lantern walk route and do the same.
Safety Precautions
Any young children who participate should be closely supervised by adults. And organizers encourage participants to RSVP ahead of time at bit.ly/TABLanternWalk, so they have a good sense of expected numbers and can adjust safety precautions accordingly.

From the Montgomery Hills Planning Committee:
Today, we made the hard decision to CANCEL the Montgomery Hills Street Fest. While we could deal with light rain, the forecast is calling for heavy rain and high winds, and therefore we are postponing the Fest until Spring 2023. While Ian is dampening our fun, our thoughts are first and foremost with those in the wake of the storm.
Here is our plan going forward:
Unfortunately, canceling the Fest means that we lose a significant amount of the funding we raised because we are obligated to still pay for the tents, tables, chairs, sound equipment, and porta-potties we rented. We are grateful to our generous donors — without whom we could not have a Fest. Once we have paid all non-refundable costs, we will bank the remaining funds for use for a 2023 Spring Street Fest. All donors will be recognized for the future Fest.
Thank you for donating your time to volunteer and money to support the Street Fest! Everyone is welcome to join us at Denizens to celebrate our wonderful community where we all get to live and work and commit to making the Georgia Avenue corridor a safe, pleasant, and vibrant place to be!
UPDATE 9/28/22: The Montgomery Hills Street Fest has been postponed to Spring 2023 (exact date TBD) due to weather.
After a two-year hiatus, the Montgomery Hills Street Fest is back! Mark your calendars for:
Saturday, October 1st from 3:00 – 7:00 pm
Location: Columbia Boulevard (between 16th Street and Seminary Road)

On May 1, 2022, the NWCA Board and Community Design Committee dedicated the first North Woodside Memorial Bench, in honor of longtime community volunteer, Woody Brosnan. The short ceremony, held in the “pocket park” at the intersection of Lanier Drive and 3rd Avenue, included a ribbon cutting by Mr. Brosnan’s wife, current North Woodside resident and NWCA Secretary Amy Henchey, plus memories of Mr. Brosnan’s dedication to local service by neighbor Gus Bauman.
If you would like to contribute to the cost of the bench you may make a donation to the NWCA’s new Neighborhood Beautification and Memorial Fund. To donate by check or PayPal, follow the directions on our NWCA Dues page.
I’m having an impromptu art show for the young artists in my art camp this week. They assembled (doll) houses and created a theme, designing and creating all the accessories for the rooms. They are turning out amazing!
They worked so hard and I thought it would be nice to showcase their work on the last day of camp.
What: (Doll) House Art Show
Where: Bertie’s Art Studio 2002 Hanover (backyard)
When: Friday, July 15 at 3:30-4:00 pm
Light refreshments will be served.
