For the final RCA General Meeting of the 2019-2020 season, we are lucky to be once again hosting Montgomery County Councilmember Evan Glass. Mr. Glass was elected to the County Council in 2018 and is an “At-Large” member, meaning he represents all residents of Montgomery County. From the safety of your own home, feel free to log on and participate virtually, where Mr. Glass will field a variety of questions in an open-ended format. All RCA-land residents welcome.

Beer Fest — Josh Silverstein

The board debated whether to try and do a winter or spring event like last year’s Beer Fest. It was decided that without someone willing to take the job on immediately it was too late to try for something that elaborate this year. Perhaps something in late August or September. However, the board agreed on a simpler event: a s’mores night on the civic green. Joe agreed to head this project, much more ad hoc, where the RCA will provide the ingredients for s’mores and firewood and possibly hot chocolate. The date for this is to be determined.

WHEN: Thursday, January 9th, 8pm
WHERE: Veirs Mill Park Activity Building, 4425 Garrett Park Road
RSVP on Facebook or Nextdoor

Please join the RCA on Thursday, January 9th at the Veirs Mill Park Activity Building (4425 Garrett Park Road) for a special General Meeting to discuss and develop a community position on Thrive Montgomery 2050 (https://montgomeryplanning.org/planning/master-plan-list/general-plans/thrive-montgomery-2050/). Thrive Montgomery 2050 is a future General Plan. General Plans include long-term vision with broad policies that will guide future, more detailed land use planning, public investments in infrastructure and communities, amenities, and private development.

Montgomery County Planning has provided a toolkit called a Meeting-in-a-Box (https://montgomeryplanning.org/planning/master-plan-list/general-plans/thrive-montgomery-2050/thrive-montgomery-2050-meeting-in-a-box/) for civic associations like the RCA to provide targeted feedback to help inform and shape the Thrive Montgomery 2050 plan. We will follow the County’s suggested meeting format. We plan to discuss the RCA community’s priorities related to equity, environment, economy, transportation, housing, parks and open space, design, arts, and culture, and our overall top priorities among the aforementioned categories.

After the conclusion of the RCA General Meeting, the RCA intends to combine all community input and submit comments on Thrive Montgomery 2050 on behalf of our community. If you would like to provide input to the RCA but are unable to attend, feel free to email your priorities directly to josh@randolphcivic.org by January 20, 2020. Individuals can also submit their own comments (https://montgomeryplanning.org/planning/master-plan-list/general-plans/thrive-montgomery-2050/thrive-montgomery-2050-meeting-in-a-box/#worksheet).

The new Membership Benefits Cards for 2020 have arrived. Find out more here or check them out at the next RCA meeting this week.
