The Ward One Party has two goals: build a friendlier community and promote Town Center. So let's have some fun and get to know each other better.  Register at the door for your free beer, burger, and door prize coupons. If you like, bring along board games and cards. Steve and Ziggy are offering up free hot dogs, hamburgers, and a draft beer or soda. See you there!

S & J Restaurant, 6108 Rhode Island Ave. at Queensbury Rd.  Sunday, May 7, 3-6 p.m. 
 
Can you help pass out coupons at the door? Let me know if you can help: 301-779-1745, oppenheim (at) email.com
 
UMD Festival Details...
Maryland Day Festival is tomorrow Saturday, April 29, 2006. From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., you can join in a variety of family-friendly, hands-on activities; catch terrific performances or learn from world-renowned scholars. 
 
In celebration of University's 150th Anniversary, they are serving up the world's largest strawberry shortcake measuring 16 feet by 24 feet and serving up to 50,000 slices. 
 
Tons of other fun and educational events too. Live performances every hour, food, sports, science & tech displays, biz & society, farm animals, insects, arts and more.
 
The UMD Festival is one of the best events of the year bar none. I highly recommend it for adults and children. And the cost is nada, zip, zero, free. (OK they charge for some of the food).

Saturday is expected to be beautiful weather. Enjoy.
