Deborah Perry attended the 25th annual Keep Montgomery County Beautification Award dinner last week and is pleased to report that, for the 2nd year in a row, the HTCA Triangle Garden won the Award of Excellence for a Community Non-Professional garden. Terese and Deborah would like to thank all those who have volunteered their time and money this past year in helping to make the garden a success!

Consider donating your time and talent to your neighborhood by serving on the HTCA Board for a two-year term. Contact either Ivette Riveria (301) 581-0156 or Susan Schaefer (301) 571-5310; they comprise the Nominating Committee for elections that will be held in mid-January 2012.

Live Jazz music performed by our own talented neighbors, a kids’ bouncy house, great conversation, and delicious treats! The success of our Centennial Celebration last fall encouraged us to host another free festival.  All residents are welcome! Bring your whole family plus a dish of food to share.  (Grilled hotdogs and hamburgers provided). Sunday October 2 from 4-7:30pm at lower Lincoln Street.  Contact Amy Shiman (301) 803-7038 to volunteer with  HTCA welcome booth, food/beverage, decorations, setup up, or clean up.

With over 60 hardy neighbors in attendance, some 40 of whom sported Abraham Lincoln hats and beards, the event commemorating Lincoln and celebrating our own Lincoln Street was deemed a success. The threat (and reality) of cold weather, high winds and odd stares from passers-by did not deter many Huntington Terrace citizens from wishing our 16th president a 200th birthday.

A slide show of the photographs has been uploaded. Take a look at the great photographs whether you at the event or not — it was a sight to behold!
