*8/7/2009:  WWII USO Remembrance Day.  6p to 9p at the Solomons, MD boardwalk pavilion.  Live and original music from the era.  Dance.  Donuts and coffee.  Wreath laying ceremony.  This family-friendly, free summer evening event is to honor those who served in WWII as well as other periods.  We believe it is important to educate the public, especially our youth, about the significance of WWII to our history.  We also want to honor all those who served and are serving our country in uniform and as home front heroes and heroines.

*10/24/2009:  Women Moving Forward conference for women re-entering society from the MD Correctional Institute for Women (MCI-W).  This important conference equips women with the tools to re-enter society as productive citizens, to re-unite with their families and to re-engage in their communities as healthy and stable individuals.  It is the second year for this event.  The Circle participated in the highly successful inaugural conference last year.  The participants were engaged and very appreciative.
