Dear WECA Neighbors – We wanted to inform you of two
particular items that will be of interest, and happening very soon (this
weekend, and starting next week)!
Peerless
Rockville: Open House at Frieda’s Cottage and Annual Meeting for 40th
Anniversary
Our friends at Peerless Rockville are hosting an
open house at Frieda’s Cottage (19 Thomas Street, Rockville, MD 20850), on the
grounds of Chestnut Lodge, on Saturday, June 14th from 11am to
1pm, in association with their annual meeting. Peerless Rockville restored
this 1936 home and office to Frieda Fromm-Reichmann during her years at the Chestnut
Lodge sanitarium. The cottage will be open for tours between 11:30 a.m. and
1:00 p.m. and rumor has it that Frieda will stop by to visit and meet with
guests. They will also be serving up light refreshments, musical entertainment
and cake in celebration of Peerless’ 40th Anniversary.

Sewer Work and
Associated Road Closures along Harrison Street
There is upcoming sewer work scheduled to take place
along Harrison and Upton Streets. This work will involve installing
sanitary sewer and man holes to allow a new home at 212 Harrison St. to connect
to the City's sanitary sewer. Daytime road closures will be
needed due to the nature of the work. Work is to start tentatively on Monday June 16, and could take 3 to 5 weeks, depending
on weather and the paving schedule. This
work is not a City of Rockville project, but rather permitted work done by
private contractors. Those affected the most will be residents on Harrison Street,
from Forest to N. Van Buren, and from Harrison Street, along Upton to Beall
Avenue.
