It was a hot day, but it was so cool to be part of the unveiling of the Twinbrook Pool historical marker! It is a remarkable example of the DIY Twinbrook spirit that continues even now. Always grateful for the support of Mayor Ashton to capture all of our #Rockville history.

I’m very proud that Rockville is the home of the U.S. Adaptive Open, a showcase of the best golfers that use various assistive devices and other adaptations in order to play. Technology to aid individuals with disabilities has advanced at a rapid pace: it’s great to see tech in action to play golf!

I’ve been to ribbon cuttings for grand openings, but today was a first - a board cutting! So happy to welcome Rockville Ace hardware to Rockville. It’s located at Wintergreen Plaza, and is a local employee owned hardware store.
