The Greenbelt Station neighborhood was thrilled to be able to use their central park for its first official event, a holiday party on Saturday, December 15, organized by the Activities Committee of the homeowners association.
About 130 Greenbelt Station residents braved the rainy weather to celebrate the holidays in a heated and (reasonably) dry tent, the biggest turnout for a neighborhood event in the neighborhood’s history. In addition to food, conversation and general camaraderie, there was a raffle for gift cards (always useful this time of year), a holiday sweater contest and a collection of coats and cold weather gear to be donated to a local elementary school. Greenbelt Recreation also provided a city information table, helpful for the many newcomers in the neighborhood.
Published continuously since the New Deal City of Greenbelt was founded in 1937, the News Review is delivered free to most Greenbelt residents. In 1970 we won a landmark First Amendment case in the Supreme Court.
