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!
