Andrew & Rachel

This is Andrew & Rachel. 

I met them on West Patrick Street, 

admiring the interior of one of the buildings. 

They have lived in Frederick just a few years,

and have felt very welcomed by the Frederick community.

Frederick feels like home.

Frederick is home.

OUR HOSPITALITY at the Weinberg Center

Have you ever gone to the Weinberg center for a movie? 

If you do, you may see Rick, one of many volunteers.

He is a retiree from Bechtel, where he was an editor. 

For the viewing of  OUR HOSPITALITY, he made the popcorn.

Meta & Mike Nash were two of the movie patrons. 

Meta knows someone who's father worked on OUR HOSPITALITY,

and they decided to come see the movie.

Turkey Day

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving is always a big day
for those less fortunate in Frederick.

It is the day the Food Bank, operated by the Community Action Agency, 

distributes 1000 turkeys with all the fixings. 

Wegmans donated the turkeys, and many volunteers packed the grocery bags

with a turkey, boxed stuffing and mashed potatoes, 

canned veggies, cranberries, and gravy, and dinner rolls.

Thank you to all the volunteers who put in their time to help others.

Thank you to the staff of Independent Hose who 

brought out their canteen truck and distributed hot chocolate,

which helped keep the chill off, on a chilly morning.

Sky High Job

Yesterday, I heard banging from my backyard. 

I looked around and saw a man on our neighbors roof. 

I grabbed my camera and took his photo.

I went over to introduce myself, and found Jerry.

He was repairing the roof for Jeff and James Clark.

Not a job that I would want to do. 

Stay safe Jerry.

Boy Scout Food Drive

Last Saturday morning, I found this bag hanging from my front door knob. 

Then I found several Cub and Boy Scouts were delivering these bags, for their 

One Million Pounds of Food

food drive, for Saturday November 12th. 

Please fill yours with non-perishable food, and leave at your front door November 12th.

The Scouts will pick them up and 

make sure the food gets to our local food bank. 

Aleister and his father, Dameon.

Let's skip the house with the loose dogs. 

Aleister and Zack are from Pack 1055
