Improving the neighborhood signs in the RCF area |
|
The signs in RCA land vary from pleasant to nasty. I have taken photos showing the signs and their adjacent landscape. The sign on Ashley Drive is in the worst condition – both for lack of “landscaping” and the condition of the sign itself. Montrose Park, Randolph Farms and Hilltop Square have no signs. New signs would run – ballpark - $2500 and run through the Montgomery County sign permitting process. The new Franklin Park sign was a “grassroots” project – planned, organized and partially funded by Franklin Park residents. If residents in Montrose Park, Randolph Farms and Hilltop Square are interested in a sign, we can give you contact information for leaders of the Franklin Park effort. |

| We have had a generous offer from Brickman Landscaping who has the landscaping contract for Charles E Smith School. They have been mowing, mulching the trees and cleaning up the area between Boiling Brook and Rocking horse Road for several years. They have now offered to plant flowers in the area of the Boiling Brook sign – coordinating with the flower plantings at the School. They will plants annuals and if we choose to add perennials, they will assist in planting and maintaining them. It seemed a win-win offer for us. Now we will be exploring whether we can negotiate with some other landscaping company for assistance in beautifying the areas around our other signs. | |

The RCF is a charitable and educational organization for our community. The RCF will focus its involvement primarily on the areas of our targeted charities; educating our community with activities such as: supporting our various youth Scout groups, providing educational speakers on topics, such as gardening or local history; and promoting environmental stewardship. The RCF will accept donations from individuals, corporations, and from the RCA. Contributions to the RCF are deductible as we are a 501(c)(3) organization. The ECHO (which is educational in its own right) will carry articles and information about the RCF such as: ongoing activities, meeting minutes, and financial reports. | |
