Furthermore, prom season is just around the corner, and the Montgomery County Recreation Department wants to ensure that the dream of attending prom can come true for high school students. As Montgomery County continues to make its way out of the pandemic, many families continue to battle with financial instability. Therefore, the Montgomery County Recreation Department is collecting gently used and new dresses that will be distributed at no cost to young women on Saturday, April 16 at the Marilyn Praisner Recreation Center located at 14906 Old Columbia Pike in Burtonsville.   

The Montgomery County Council and Radio America have entered a partnership that provides the Latino community with key information on issues and programs. The partnership also provides a forum for residents to express their views and ask questions. The partnership includes the weekly one-hour show each Friday on the Washington metropolitan area’s most popular Spanish language station. 

Each week, the show features host Marcela Rodriguez, Council program manager and public information officer, and guests talking about important issues before the Council and provides information about programs offered by the County to help residents.
