[RP Town Announce] Upcoming events (July 29, 2005)

[Alan Thompson (Riverdale Park Webmaster)]

Next Monday, August 1, the Town Council will have its monthly 
legislative session at 8 pm, Town Hall, 5008 Queensbury Road.  This 
monthly meeting is where most of the business of the Town is decided. 
All residents are encouraged to attend to learn about what is 
happening in town, and to bring up any concerns they might have.   As 
of last Tuesday, the only items on the agenda were approval of 
minutes from previous meetings.  Anyone wanting more information 
about this meeting can call Town Hall at (301) 927-6381.

Tuesday, August 2, will have two events.

First, the entire evening of August 2 is "National Night Out".  All 
residents are encouraged to get out of their houses or apartments, 
meet neighbors, learn about anticrime programs, and send a message to 
criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and 
fighting back.  The Riverdale Police Department will have a 
heightened presence on the streets of the town, and citizens should 
feel free to wave them down and discuss any issues of concern.  To 
learn more about National Night Out visit 
http://www.nationalnightout.org/nno/index.html or call the Riverdale 
Police Department at 301-927-4343.

The second event on August 2 is a meeting of the Communications 
Committee, at 8 pm in Town Hall, 5008 Queensbury Road.  The 
Communications Committee is working to create a sustainable and 
coordinated communications foundation across multiple media outlets, 
including the town's cable television channel, web site, newsletter, 
and e-mail lists like this one.  Anyone interested in helping design 
and/or create any part of this foundation should attend.  To learn 
more about the Communications Committee you can learn about (and sign 
up for) the [RP ComTalk] e-mail list at 
http://mail.riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/comtalk_riverdale-park.org 
or contact committee chair Alan Thompson at 301-927-7407.

The regular monthly meeting of the Mixed Use Town Center 
Architectural Review committee, scheduled for August 3, has been 
cancelled because there are no applications requiring review.

Upcoming events:

The Legislative Committee of the Town Council will meet on Wednesday, 
August 10 (discussion items will include the duties of the Deputy 
Town Administrator).

The Recreation Board will meet on Monday, August 15.

To have your event included in future RP Town Announce mailings, 
please send a short note describing it to listmaster at 
ci.riverdale-park.md.us.  For details of any of these events please 
call the town offices during business hours at (301) 927-6381.  You 
can also reply to this message and I will try to find an answer to 
any question you might have.
