Join us for a craft making afternoon at the Tory House, 343 Market Street, Charlestown Maryland. We’ll be making traditional fall and holiday decorations. The fall decorations will go home that afternoon, but the holiday ones will “hang out” at the Tory House to help decorate for the Open House scheduled for December 13th. After the Open House the holiday crafts may be taken home too! To help us plan, please email dmyers@charlestownmd.org with numbers of children attending so we make sure we have plenty of supplies on hand!
The decision was recently made by our Commissioners to expand our bulk pickup to two days a month. The second and fourth Wednesdays will be the days. OUR NEXT BULK PICK UP DATE IS WEDNESDAY October 23, 2019 MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CALLED IN YOUR ITEMS BY TUESDAY, October 22nd. FOR PICK-UP: CALL Town Hall @ 410-287-6173. LEAVE MESSAGE IF NO ANSWER with address, name, phone number and brief description of items to be picked up. HAVE THEM OUT BY 7AM OR THE NIGHT BEFORE.
