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.
