Welcome

WMCCA General Meeting

Date: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 – 8:00 p.m.

Location: Potomac Library

Speakers: Open Forum Meeting - Bring Your Concerns

Topics:  This will be our last General meeting until after the summer.  Each year we devote one meeting to a more complete discussion of the issues we've been following and offer the public a chance to bring topics of
concern to them.  Through this process, we've been able to help members with problems such as illegal tree cutting, development proposals, and parkland encroachment. Our Committee Chairs and Directors will cover a range of current WMCCA efforts, including the River Road sidewalk extension, plans for Norton Road tree replanting, the Norwood School request for amendment to their Special Exception to allow further expansion, recent Conservation easement cases at the Planning Board, a proposal for street lights on South Glen Road, the Greater Seneca Science Corridor plan, and County Council budget cutting implications for our parks and services.  We welcome the opportunity to share our expertise and discuss your issues.  As always, the public is warmly invited.
 


The Red Barn photo by Peter PoggiWhen farmers bartered for supplies at Perry's store in 1880, they never dreamed what Potomac would be like today. Expansion and development, new homes and families, new services and community organizations have swollen its every crevice. The "village" has expanded to be home and shopping center for thousands. Yet so much remains constant.

The rolling hills, the wide expanses of green, the pristine streams and shaded rural roads relieve our eyes and revive our spirits. The natural beauty our forefathers loved and absorbed remains a part of us all; it draws us close and delights our visitors.

That our area remains a cherished hamlet, a distinct "Green Wedge," is no accident, no fluke.

Indeed, much of what we hold dear is due to the vigilance and dedication of caring volunteers working tirelessly through the West Montgomery County Citizens Association.

We invite you to become one of the team to insure the continued beauty of this area. If you are interested in preserving the beauty of Potomac, please become a member.
