Emergency Management ( OEM ) will be hosting a Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) training. DelMarVa Search and Rescue will be
teaching the class. The class will take place at the Prince George's
County Fire Services Building, it is located at 6820 Webster StreetLandover Hills, Md 20784. Registration is from 0800-0900 hours and classroom instruction is from 0900-1600 hours.

Passing the Hat for Neighbors in Need
Passing the Hat for Neighbors in Need
As many Mount Rainier residents know, a few weeks ago there was a devastating fire on Otis Street that cost two families their homes - a total of 11 adults and 3 children are displaced. Senior Ward 2 Council Member Ivy Thompson has taken the lead on organizing to help the families, and the two of us have formed a committee with neighbor Tyrese Robinson to facilitate "passing the hat" in the community so Mounties can donate to our neighbors in need.
The past two Saturdays money has been collected at the Mount Rainier Farmer's Market and we plan to make that available again this Saturday, September 17. Also local businesses Glut, ZZ Pizza, and Nisey's Boutique, along with City Hall, have collection jars. Tremendous thanks to them for being outstanding community members!
Passing The Hat: Busboys and Poets, Tuesday Sept. 20, 5PM-Close
Mark Your Calendars! Tuesday, Sept. 20 Busboys and Poets will join our efforts to Pass The Hat for our Neighbors in Need.

Anacostia Hours local currency info meeting 9/14
You are invited to…
“How to Use an Hour” (an Anacostia Hour, that is…)
When: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 – 7-9PM
Where: 4104 32nd Street, Mount Rainier
Are you unsure what to do with those Anacostia Hours that are burning a hole in your pocket, or sitting in your cash register, or perhaps a kitchen drawer? Are you thinking: where did I put that directory of goods and services they gave me, when I signed up as a member?
HOURS ARE LOCAL PURCHASING POWER!
What: Join the organizers of the Anacostia Hours local currency initiative on Wednesday, September 14, 2011, for a free and brief “inservice” training on how to make the most of your Hours, while boosting circulation of the currency and increasing benefits to community participants. We will be hosting this event at 4104 32nd Street, Mount Rainier, from 7:00 – 9:00 PM. All are welcome, members and non-members alike! To accommodate those just getting back from work, we’ll begin the session with a pot luck supper offering. Feel free to bring something to add to the potluck.
This informal and interactive training will cover such topics as:
- using the Hours directory and website (www.anacostiahours.org)
- initiating transactions
- advertising your goods & services
- keeping your membership current
- getting change (smaller denomination Hours bills – or dollars and cents)
- communicating with the Hours community
- expanding the base of members, goods & services.
- for storefront businesses, additional tips and guidance
To help us with planning, please RSVP to: anacostiahours@yahoo.com or
