Please share the pre-registration link with your networks and encourage anyone aged 75 and older who lives in Montgomery County to sign up now.

Please also note Montgomery County has not yet received enough vaccine from the Maryland Department of Health to finish those in Priority Group 1A. We will begin vaccinating those in Priority Group 1B as soon as we can, while continuing to vaccinate those in Priority Group 1A.

A new USPS mailbox has been installed at the NE corner of Livingston and Newton. Many thanks to the neighbor who proposed this addition! This mailbox has a new, secure design that prevents thieves from removing items from the box. As a consequence of this security feature, only letters, not packages, can be deposited in this mailbox, which is oriented so that pedestrians can easily deposit mail.
Pickup time is 3:00 PM Monday - Saturday.
For more information on the replacement of gas lines in our neighborhood, view a presentation from Washington Gas.
