The following poem was submitted by David P Carroll:

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.

On Saint Patrick’s day
A joyful sound and with
Shamrocks mall around
And little children’s laughter
Fills the air and we’ll
Celebrate Saint Patrick’s day
This Irish feast a welcome sight
A beacon shining pure and bright
And family and friends will
Gather round in a joyful parade
Waving Irish flags on Saint Patrick’s day
And stories are been told and
Happiness and memories are made

From Washington to Capital hill
The celebrations hold their sway
And the little leprechauns are laughing
Hiding in the fields of the morning mist
The Irish spirit strong and ever true
A heritage of legends shining bright (more…)

Event

The Triumph Trek at the Rio is the ultimate celebration of strength, recovery and hope — and everyone is invited.

On Sunday, September 20, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation and Adventist HealthCare Home Care Services will gather at Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg for an untimed walk-or-wheel around the accessible lakeside path. This is not a race. Scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, strollers and every pace are welcome, and no one finishes last.
