GREENBRIAR SECOND MEETING
We had an awesome gathering at the Greenbriar Terrace Room on Saturday, September 9 of people working together on five programs and services important to Greenbriar. Participants divided up to develop initiatives of their choice, including:
- Transportation options
- Language barriers
- Common legal and financial matters
- Accessing no-cost food/produce
- Support for memory challenges (Memory Cafe)
The next gathering will be on November 18 in the Terrace Room from 10:30am - 12:30pm. All are invited to attend on that day to hear about developments regarding these topics and plan next steps. We encourage you to attend to help bring great programs and services to Greenbriar!

A big thank you to all who came September 12 to support the launching of the new volunteer program at the Old Greenbelt Theatre! With the support of the Greenbelt Community Foundation, the Center for Dynamic Community Governance is developing a year-long initiative to create an innovative (and replicable) volunteer program, making best use of the extraordinary talents, creativity and resources of the greater Greenbelt community. We look forward to your ideas, comments and input to make a great community resource its very best.
Much gratitude to Carol Shaw who represented the Foundation and to Cathy Jones who represented the Theatre and who provided free raffle prizes, including theatre memberships and posters. She made 5 people very happy.
We were much encouraged by the enthusiastic reception. We were especially touched by former Greenbelt resident (and actively engaged Greenbelt visitor) Margaret Poore, who came in from Silver Spring and regaled us with stories of theatre visits with her family in the early 1940’s. She has now spread the word of OGT to her book club and loves the speakers who accompany several of the films.
The best of Greenbelt was on full display!
