MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND – SNOW DAYS

The Montgomery County Public School system put a contingency calendar in place at the start of the school year. Right now, the county has used nine snow days. That means the school year will end June 23, instead of the scheduled end of June 16. That does not take into consideration what will happen if more snow days are needed. That would require action by the school board and superintendent.

Discover Card Cash Back Bunus Awards for Haiti

My name is Alex Saenger, Realtor here in North Potomac, Maryland (MD). My wife and I were devastated by the stories we heard about what happened in Haiti. One of our neighbors, Frank Langfitt from NPR, was heading to Haiti to cover the news there. And we were thinking that we wanted a way to help as well. Then, when I logged into my Discover Card account online, I noticed that Discover offered a way to apply Cash Back Bonus Award dollars to the American Red Cross. This was a great way for us to donate more than we otherwise could have and assist with the relief efforts. Thank you Discover Card for making this easy and fast. We hope that this money is spent wisely to save lives, or at least help to relieve suffering for those impacted by this horrible incident.
