HCA's annual Neighborhood Night Out - August 2

Hungerford's Neighborhood Night Out is an annual event designed to strengthen our community by encouraging neighbors to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners.

National Night Out will take place at:

601 Harrington Ave - Elwood Smith Park

Tuesday August 2 2022 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.

As usual, the HCA will set up Elwood Smith for a potluck dinner so please bring something to share!  10-12 servings is perfect, label your dish and utensil if you need it returned.  

Chairs and beverages are also BYO. Set up outside is expected, but rain will move the food inside.

In addition to the city provided bounce house we have generous and talented neighbors who will provide live music for us: The Bowie Road Benders! 

Scruff McGruff is scheduled to come by too, with the Rockville Police Department!

Lots of families have RSVP'd already here on the Facebook Group: https://fb.me/e/1RtoETGHH

If you have a fun game, craft or talent to share we would love to add you to the fun.  Just let Patti know!  pattiwestenberg@gmail.com  

The Memorial Day Picnic Returns!

Before we gather in the afternoon Rockville's Memorial Day Parade will take place at Town Center.

The Hungerford HCA is happy to resurrect the Memorial Day picnic at Elwood Smith community center and playground. Monday May 30st 5pm-7pm. Tables and chairs are provided, bathrooms available. 

The theme this year is BITE-SIZED!

Please bring something to share with your neighbors (approx 10-12 servings) that is "bite sized" or individual portions. 

A small prize and bragging rights will be awarded to the most voted savory and sweet selection. 

Bring some lawn games, comfy chairs, BYOBeverages and get ready to have some fun!

There is an RSVP in a Facebook event in the Hungerford Group, but it's not necessary, just show up.

The BOD met recently to discuss the upcoming year. Below is a draft calendar of events. Let the board know if you want to either help out with or head up an event!

We are hoping to do several dine out events in 2022. Because we do not charge membership dues we have essentially no budget other than what we can get in grants. These will be an opportunity to support a local business AND raise some money for events for the HCA. Keep you eye out for more info.
