We could use your help!

Cheverly Day relies on many volunteers to succeed every year...and this year we want YOU to join! There are opportunities at every level -- putting the putt putt holes back in working order, helping with the parade, stage help, midway games, logistics, breaking things down on May 22...we're sure there are some great things you can do to help that we haven't even thought of yet! This is another great way to share your support of Cheverly day 2016 with the entire community, and a terrific way for students to earn those all-important service hours.

If you'd like to get involved, please contact Megan Daly, or send us a message by completing the contact form on our website. We'd love to have you with us this Cheverly Day!

CHVProm 2016...we can't wait for the biggest party of the year!

The Cheverly Community Center Gym goes from this...

Every year, through the tireless work of the terrific CHVProm Committee and the Department of Public Works, our nondescript gym gets transformed into Cheverly's big dance: it's CHVProm 2016! 

CHVProm kicks off Cheverly Day's 85th Anniversary celebration weekend with music, dancing, great food, drinks, and prizes! This year’s theme is "Timeless."  CHVProm begins at 8:00pm on Friday, May 20, and doesn't run out of gas until midnight.

...to this for CHVProm!

Start brainstorming with your friends now to win the “Best Decorated Table” contest! Competition for the best decorated table is always fierce, and over the years, we've been impressed by Cheverly Metro, Feral Foxes, Gilligan and friends, 007 and Goldfinger... What ever happened to the gold mannequin that decorated that table? Last time we saw her, she was crowd surfing, then riding in the 80th Anniversary Parade the next morning...who knows what will turn up in the parade THIS year? Anyhow, CHVProm is always a wild night. We can't wait to see the results!

While the decor and fashions are always great fun, dancing and food are big draws! Cheverly has a wealth of great cooks, and the potluck buffet served up at CHVProm is fantastic.

Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, April 20 and sell out quickly every year! Individual tickets are $15 per person or you can buy a full table of 12 for $180.  Individual tickets and tables of 12 will be sold at Town Hall during normal business hours, CHECK OR MONEY ORDER ONLY, made out to Cheverly Day Inc., memo line "CHVProm tickets".  Alternatively, you can purchase a table directly from committee member Robin Kaye.  Please note: THERE ARE NO ADVANCED TICKET SALES OR RESERVATIONS.

Want to help? Please contact committee chair Lane Thompson if you have any questions or would like to volunteer for planning, set-up, or cleanup.

Help us make this year's party even nicer!

Celebrated cook, food writer, and editor Ruth Reichl said, “Ask people to pitch in – hand them a spoon and ask them to stir. Doing things together, having everyone help, makes for a nicer party.” She’s right: the more people get involved, the better the party. During this season of gatherings, we’re asking you to get involved with Cheverly Day 2016. On May 21, we’re celebrating the 85^th anniversary of our community, and we need you!

Are you a member of a community group? A marching band? A theatrical troupe? Join in our parade – we want your floats, your marchers, your musicians…let’s make this year’s parade the best yet. The parade application will be available on our website after the first of the year. We’re also looking for corporate sponsors, community donations, and advertisers – all make a huge difference in defraying the costs of bringing this major community event to life every year. Visit our website to learn how you can lend your financial support…and thanks!

Finally, we always need volunteers to plan and carry out this big event. Have ideas for new activities? Want to help us with community groups, musicians, food, publicity, or any other aspect? We want you! Join the Cheverly Day Committee – we meet monthly and we’re always looking for fresh ideas.

Join the Cheverly Day party and lend a hand – we’re looking forward to sharing this great celebration with the entire community. Email cheverlyday@gmail.com to get involved, and visit our website www.cheverlyday.org for links to our Facebook, blog and Twitter, and all the latest news on all things Cheverly Day 2016!

Only six months away!

Cheverly Day 2016 is just a little over six months away! Join your friends, family, and neighbors on Saturday, May 21, to celebrate 85 years of life in Cheverly. We’ll have a parade, great music, food and drink, fireworks, and loads of activities and attractions sure to please!

We’ve come a long way from 1931 – an era of tremendous challenge and sacrifice, but also a time of people working together in communities. We enjoyed the music of Cab Calloway, Kate Smith, and Guy Lombardo, and movies by Charlie Chaplin and Bela Lugosi. Did you know that The Star Spangled Banner became the official National Anthem of the United States in 1931? The first Donald Duck cartoon and Dick Tracy comic launched that same year, and the Empire State Building and George Washington Bridge in New York opened. Lou Gehrig played his 1,000^th baseball game. Babe Ruth hit his 600^th home run. And Cheverly, Maryland, was incorporated on April 18, 1931.

We’re looking forward to sharing Cheverly’s 85^th anniversary with the entire community, and we need your help. Start planning those parade floats and entries now! Want to get involved in planning the big event? We’d love to have your input. Email cheverlyday@gmail.com to lend your support. Of course, visit our website www.cheverlyday.org for the latest news on all things Cheverly Day 2016!

Looking forward to our 85th!

Want to get involved? We'd love to have you!

CHVRun: Join us...we need volunteers!

We are still looking for volunteers to help with race logistics on Sunday, May 10. Volunteers are needed for the following:

• Registration beginning at 7:15 AM on Sunday
• Route monitoring beginning at 8:00 AM
• If you live along or adjacent to the route, consider monitoring an intersection beginning at 8:20 AM

This is a great way for students who need service hours to get them, for organizations to participate in a group activity that the community will see, or for anyone to show their support of our annual race. We need YOU!

If you can lend a hand, please contact Nikki Hayes or Glen Barton...and thanks!

 The Midway Games Committee is looking for a few great volunteers -- can you lend a hand?

They need a few smart teens to help with games -- please contact Pat Nelson (301-908-4138) if you have a teen to spare for a few hours on Saturday. Kids will get community service hours and always seem to have fun on both sides of the games, playing them and running them!

A VERY special thank you.

David has been in charge of music and entertainment for Cheverly Day for several years, and this year he takes the reigns for the whole day.

Planning to decorate your table (and we know there are some serious competitors in our ranks!) and want to know what time you can get to work? Help us set up for the night, and decorate your table after putting in some time! The CHVProm decorating crew will be in the Community Center Gym at noon to decorate and could really use your help.
