Area seniors are invited to attend a series of events called "Coffee for Seniors," the first of which is at 1 p.m. today. Attendees will be able to speak with a Dist. 6 police officer and learn safety tips and updates on the latest scams. Officers would also like to hear from you about what is going on in your neighborhood.
Today's event will be held at the Starbucks located at Contee Road and Route 1. Even if you cannot attend today, please contact jwbeasock@co.pg.md.us if you're interested in future events. Please note: each attendee will be responsible for paying for his/her own coffee.

Giving a little can help a lot
The annual Scouting for Food collection will take place Nov. 14. This program aims to address hunger in the community and is organized by local Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers. Scouts from our local packs will tie bags to your mailbox Saturday. Fill your bag with canned food on Nov. 14, when scouts will return to collect the bags. If your bag has not been picked up by 4 p.m., please call Amy Brennan at 301-490-7662, and she will arrange pick-up.
