Good morning!! I hope everyone is somewhere safe and warm. A few things going on that you NEED to know for now.
1. If you are not somewhere safe and warm...please go to this link and find out where you can get to (anywhere in MD) to be safe. There are several places that are being used as "warming" zones. (Harford Co. Pub. Library's for one during business hours). Check out the list for places all of MD.https://health.maryland.gov/preparedness/Documents/2312_OPR_LocalWarmingCenter.pdf
2. LADIES - if you are looking for a little help in life in general...and maybe this weather has stopped you from reaching out....or maybe it is pushing you to reach out now....please check out our friends at Bethesda Transformation Center. A warm bed and place to be...with a purpose in helping you navigate life at this point.
3. We had fully intended on being open and ready for you all tomorrow. However, after getting here this morning, it is not going to be feasible sadly. While we have a few parking spots open, the surrounding areas/businesses are still unplowed. Our sidewalks are covered in ice, then snow under. I've tried to shovel it but to no avail....
So, for the safety of our volunteers and for you, we'll not be open tomorrow. We are so sorry for this.
I'll be working on a plan to get things cleared on our property over the next couple of days as best we can. We do know that there is another snow "storm" moving in for the weekend. Not sure how big or how small....but we're do our best to have things set and ready for next week.
In the meantime, George is very sad that you wont see him one last time in his Christmas best...so...he asked to send a picture. We'll see if he gets dressed up for Valentines day.
Stay safe and warm folks. We'll hopefully see you next week.
