Crofton Maryland Events and Celebrations – January 2010
January 1st, 2010 Categories: Events
CROFTON CALENDAR
You’ll find plenty of things to celebrate and do in January 2010, whether you’re a Crofton area Newbie or Old-timer.
Why not begin the month by turning to someone nearby tp say “thank you” because January is National Thank You Month. It’s also National Eye Care Month, Hot Tea Month, National Book Month and National Volunteer Blood Donor Month – just in case you were wondering about that.
The following information was gathered from countless websites so you won’t have to. Please contact me at mwoda@mris.com or call me at 301–346–2923 if you would like to see your organization’s events added to this calendar:

P.S. RECYCLE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE – Just place your tree at the curb on your usual recycling day during the first week of January for county pick-up. If it’s over 4 feet in height or width, be sure to cut it into 4’ sections (or smaller) so it will fit into the truck.
