Doll Club Needs  Volunteers  
A whirlwind of War of 1812  observations, celebrations and events will soon 
sweep the immediate area.  Locally based regional organizations such as the 
Anacostia Trails Heritage  Association and the Anacostia Watershed Society 
have begun marking the  200th anniversary of Britain’s two-year-long effort 
to take back the  United States as an English entity. Nearly two-dozen 
children, members of the  Doll Club, which is sponsored by the Riverdale Park 
Arts Council, have been  busily sewing period doll clothes and accessories and 
making their own costumes  to wear at upcoming reenactment events. Adults 
are needed to teach sewing  techniques, and to assist youth teachers.  
Sewing classes are held  Mondays, 2:30 to 4:30 pm at Aunt Emily’s Doll 
Hospital/Doll Shop, 6220  Rhode Island Avenue, Riverdale Park; Thursdays 5 to 7 
pm at the adjacent  Riverdale Park Farmer’s Market in Town Center; and 
Wednesdays, 5 to 7 pm at Park  Tanglewood Apartments, 5309 Riverdale Road.  
Adults, insured and licensed to drive in Maryland are  also needed to 
carpool the youngsters to and from classes, and roundtrip to  events and to 
occasionally serve as chaperones. If you have time to make an  important, and 
welcomed investment in the community, please contact RPAC  president Emily 
Fanning at 301-864-5561, or email her at _OurDollMom at aol.com_
