Happy Tuesday!
Are you all as excited as we are for this cooler weather? Yes, it's still hitting 80, but we'll take that over what felt like the 100s these past few weeks!
There are several things coming to a close this week. Today is your last chance to vote for the Park in the Bethesda Magazine Best of Bethesda 2024 Reader's Poll! We greatly appreciate your support.
This Friday, the 15th, our Lift Us Up storm recovery campaign comes to a close. A sincere thank you to those who have supported so far! Read a campaign update and about the generous match we announced yesterday, and please consider making a donation.
Also this Friday, we will be closing submissions for our 2024 Dance and Music RFP. Take a look at eligibility criteria, and submit a proposal this week!
This Saturday's virtual Art Clinic Online features painter Teresa Oaxaca. Her work is whimsical, colorful, and truly one-of-a-kind. Learn more about her and register here!
