Connect to Protect the Capital Crescent Trail - 5/31/2008 (Sat)

Save the Date! Saturday, May 31

Anyone who has ever jogged, walked, biked or pushed a baby stroller along the Capital Crescent Trail is invited to a special event on Saturday, May 31, to celebrate the Trail and learn how light rail trains being planned on the Trail between Bethesda and Silver Spring will change this treasured resource. Family-friendly activities at Elm Street Park and along the Trail east of the Wisconsin Avenue tunnel will run from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.  

The Town and more than a dozen other local communities that use the Trail are organizing this opportunity for area residents to “Connect With the Capital Crescent Trail.”  If you can spare a few hours to help on May 31, you’ll get a fun t-shirt designed by Town resident Irina Stepanova and the satisfaction of raising public awareness about the threat to one of our most popular green spaces. To volunteer, please contact maryannehoffman@starpower.net by Friday, May 9.
