See a problem – solve a problem. That’s howthe “100 Women Who Care” movementstarted.

Karen Dunigan learned that new moth-ers were bringing their babies home and could notafford a proper crib. The babies were sleeping in

boxes, dresser drawers or on the mother’s own beds.Dunigan began thinking about the need and realizedshe needed $10,000 to purchase cribs, mattresses andblankets. She knew there had to be a quick way tofundraise in her community and then she had a brain-storm. She would find 100 women who would eachgive $100 for her project. She made the phone calls,scheduled a meeting, and in one hour, she has raised$12,800 to supply new moms with the simplest need:a crib.

Dunigan recognized she was onto something spe-cial and she founded the first 100+ Women Who Care

Raising funds locallyfor local needs.

Chapter and scheduled quarterly meetings. Therules were simple: any member could present aneed in the community, the need had to be im-mediate and the money had to remain local. Theidea was that a worthy cause benefits many inthe community — and that 100 or more peoplecoming together in a room could provide a forcefor doing good work while lifting others up.

There are now more than 350 chapters through-out the world that include women, men and kids.The first chapter in Lower Montgomery Countyhas recently been created by four Potomac women— and they are seeking new members.

One of the founding members, Linda Mathuran,said, “I was visiting my sister who was attendinga meeting of her chapter. She told me about 100Women Who Care — when I Googled it, I sawthat there are a lot of chapters and I also found alot of support in starting one here. There are a lotof helpful resources listed on the website too.Once I mentioned it to Jill Lavin, Louise Brophyand Susan Jaffe, they were immediately on board— and now we are up to 47 members and tryingto get to 100 or more. It’s such a no-brainer. Weare giving to wonderful local organizations whereour donations are truly needed and will be usedlocally to help people right here in our communi-ties.”

The Lower Montgomery County Chapter of 100Women Who Care held their first meeting in Julyat the Potomac Library. Mathuran, Lavin, Brophy

and Jaffe were the initiators — and about 30women came to the meeting, even though it was arainy, stormy evening. The group listened to pre-sentations by three charities, and chose the Make-A-Wish, Montgomery County as its first charity.Women who are members may make presentationsabout favorite local charities or representativesfrom charities are invited to make a short presen-tation about how they will use the donated fundsfrom this group.

“Everyone at our last meeting was impressed andmoved by the charity presentations,” Mathuransaid.

Lavin added, “How can you resist joining? It’sall for the good. I also like that we learn aboutthree charities that are doing really meaningfulwork in our community — and it’s only held fourtimes a year for a hour each time.”

At the second meeting in October, the groupchose to donate to Montgomery Kids, an organi-zation that helps to support the needs of childrenin the welfare system with services and opportu-nities that are not available to them through thesystem. They might provide ballet, art or pianolessons or funds to join a sports team — those ex-tras that youngsters deserve to have a chance toparticipate in but often cannot because their fam-ily cannot afford it.

The next meeting will be held on Dec. 7 at 7 p.m.at the River Falls Club House in Potomac. New mem-bers are welcome to attend. To RSVP or to learn moreabout 100 Women Who Care, contact Mathuranthrough email at [email protected].

100 Women Who CareGhost PumpkinBy Jack Denchfield

There was a little pumpkinthat lived in a patch,

It was round and big and Iknew it was the one I wanted tosnatch.

I grabbed it real fast because itwas so unique,

I knew that it was a specialtreat.

You were not orange like allthe others,

You were white like no other.

White pumpkin, white pump-kin,

Why are you white?Did a ghost jump out and give

you a fright?

It was Halloween night when Ifound you,

Did you turn white when aghost said, “Boo!”

Pumpkin, pumpkin, I love you.

Jack Denchfield, 6, attendsschool at Our Lady of Mercy in

Potomac.

Poem

Opinion

By Roger Berliner

Vice President, Montgomery

County Council

Montgomery CountyCouncil Vice Presi-dent Roger Ber-liner, who chairs

the council’s Transportation, Infra-structure, Energy and EnvironmentCommittee, made the followingstatement regarding the recent increase in sig-nificant aircraft noise from planes departingfrom and arriving to Ronald Reagan Washing-ton National Airport that is impacting residentsof the county.

The purpose of today’s [Oct. 5] hearing is tounderstand why the quality of life for so manyof our residents has been so negatively affectedby airplane noise. We will learn how we got tothis point, and shed some light as to how ourcommunity can most effectively respond.

For years, airplane traffic has been an an-noyance as planes flew over our community. Iknow because for 20 years I lived along thePotomac River where they flew every day. Andit was an annoyance, but a tolerable one. Thatchanged dramatically this past December. Overthe last 10 months, instead of an irritation thatwas widely dispersed throughout the region,it has become a concentrated, amplified, andunending disturbance for many of our resi-dents. It is unacceptable that property values,

quality of life and people’s healthhave been impacted so dramati-cally with so little forethought.Here is one sobering example thatwas shared with me:

“... My family and I are new toBrookmont, but we specifically optednot to purchase a home here (de-

spite the opportunity to do so), and to rent in-stead, because of the incessant and overwhelm-ing airplane noise. When we first discoveredBrookmont this summer . . . we were immedi-ately struck by its uniqueness, sense of commu-nity, and natural beauty. Unfortunately, just asimmediately, we were struck by the relentlesspassing overhead of airplane after airplane,which creates such an audible and visible dis-ruption that it is difficult to enjoy what the neigh-borhood otherwise has to offer ….”

This is just one troubling example of themany, many messages I have received from ourresidents.

So, here is my understanding of how we gotto this unacceptable place.

For many years, the technology that was usedto guide airplanes was radar based. Technol-ogy has changed, and now we have the capac-ity to guide airplanes with GPS and satellites.That capability makes it possible for more con-centrated flight paths. NextGEN is the system

that FAA is employing to move from radar tosatellite.

However, the process that ushered in theNextGEN changes was done without meaning-ful review of the impact it would have on thecommunities underneath its new satellite-based flight rails. Coupled with an increase inflights based out of Reagan National insteadof Dulles, and the lack of a proper curfew forflight scheduling, our citizens are constantlybesieged by unbearable noise.

To put it simply, the status quo is not an op-tion here. Nationwide, communities are beingoverwhelmed by the effects of NextGEN. Andchanges that are contemplated, like what iscalled LAZIR-B, are not going to help. In fact,we believe they will only amplify the issue formany of our residents.

With the work of Congressman Chris VanHollen, and the efforts of Ken Hartman on be-half of County Executive Ike Leggett, we aretrying to affect change. Though they were in-vited, the FAA is unfortunately not representedat today’s committee meeting. With the publicoutcry over these issues, it is disappointing thatthey declined the invitation.

I look forward to hearing from the Metro-politan Washington Airports Authority and Mr.Hartman on their thoughts on how we canbetter serve our community and ensure thatno one portion of any community gets im-pacted in such an unacceptable way.

The day provides a chance to gather with friendsand neighbors, to watch children whiz down giantpumped-up slides, rock to the music of Retrospectand Unique Dreams, and to learn about new com-munity businesses. Local restaurants provide tastylunch fare, the classic car show sports gleaming au-tos of yesteryear, and everyone has the opportunityto celebrate the community they live in.

The parade begins at 10 a.m. on Chapel Drive andRiver Road and travels along River Road to Falls Roadwhere it turns and heads toward Great Falls.

The morning opens with the Star Spangled Ban-ner sung by Potomac’s own opera singer ChrissellenePetropoulos — dressed in her Halloween regalia.Then the parade starts inching up River Road to-ward the Village, giving children (and their momsand dads) the opportunity to scramble for candy,laugh at clown antics, cheer on equestriennes fromthe Capitol Polo Club, firefighters on their shiny redtrucks, and tae kwon do performers. Every year,political candidates embrace the opportunity to meet

and greet Potomac citizens. Since this year is an elec-tion year, the candidates will be out in full force, shar-ing their platforms and information right before theelection.

The Potomac Chamber of Commerce selects threehonorees. The Potomac Citizen of the Year is thePotomac Almanac Editor and Publisher Mary Kimm.The Potomac Youth of the Year is Arslon Humayun ofthe Landon School and the Business Person of theYear is Fred Goldman, Esq. They will be honored atPotomac Day and also at an awards dinner on Nov.17.

HomeLifeStyle

The Almanac

Changing temperatures and falling leavesare a signal the holidays are near. FromThanksgiving through the New Year,homes are filled with guests and sched-

ules are stacked with parties. Getting one’s homeguest ready by the holidays may be daunting, butit’s doable with proper planning and realistic expec-tations, say local contractors.

Now is the time to begin projects that don’t re-quire elaborate planning, building permits or prod-ucts on back order. “A window and door replacementproject could be completed before the holidays if youstarted the process right away,” said Michael Winn,president of Winn Design + Build.

Fall is a perfect time to begin projects that dependon outdoor elements, he noted. “The weather in thefall is generally ideal so it can be a great time to takeon those exterior projects,” said Winn. “Be ready, bedecisive and start now. The fall is a great time toundertake exterior improvements such as new sid-ing, trim, roofing, painting and landscaping.”

He added that he recently “renovated a front porch,[adding] new windows, new trim and exterior paint-ing. A fresh coat of paint can do wonders and satiateyour remodeling urges until after the holidays whenyou have the time to tackle something a bit moreambitious.”

While there probably isn’t time to complete anextensive kitchen remodeling project, Winn says thatsmaller projects like adding new countertops, updat-ing plumbing, changing electrical fixtures, paintingand refinishing wood floors can be completed be-fore the onslaught of holiday entertaining andbreathe new life into a tired bathroom or kitchen.

“A bathroom may be a candidate if it’s a ‘pull-and-replace’ [meaning that] the layout remains the sameand the materials you select are stock or have a quick

lead time,” said Winn. “If you’re not already well intothe design process, your kitchen or renovation isprobably best postponed until after the holidays.”

Still, minor cosmetic improvements can give theillusion of a major change. “We recently designedand built a new entryway with built-ins for a clientthat creates a welcoming first impression for guestsas well as needed storage for the owners,” said BruceWentworth, president of Wentworth, Inc.

A pragmatic approach to a project is an importantfactor in increasing the likelihood that it will be readyin time for holiday entertaining. “If homeowners startearly and have a realistic scope of work, it could bedone,” said Wentworth. “Quality work is importantwith home improvements and fast is not always partof that formula.”

Architect Kai Tong of Hopkins and Porter Inc. inPotomac recently finished a project that he says of-fers a strategy and timeline that, if started now, wouldeasily result in having an entertainment space by theholidays. His client wanted space for his televisionand sound equipment, so Tong designed a custombuilt-in unit for media and display.

“The design was intended to be the visual anchorof the new entertainment space, and to be harmoni-ous with an existing lighted cove ceiling, adjacentcolumns and other architectural features in the room.The medium-stained cherry wood furthered thatharmony,” said Tong.

A millwork shop completed the design within sixweeks. During that time, audiovisual specialists wiredthe space while the Hopkins and Porter team com-pleted other renovation work, including preparingthe wallpaper and removing existing wall sconces.

Tong said that overall, there was “very minimalon-site disruption.”

Securing a contractor to begin a project could be astumbling block, but not one that is insurmountable.“Most of the better contractors are in-demand andhave production backlogs of two to six months,” saidWinn. “If your project is small and your timing isflexible, you may be able to squeeze [it] into theirschedule. Many contractors have ‘gaps’ in-betweentheir projects, while they’re waiting for a permit tobe issued or if they finished a project ahead of sched-ule. They may be able to accommodate your projectif the timing is right.”

Local contractors saythere is time to spruce upyour house and yard

In TheContext Of ...

Having cancer; not that you need to knowhow I think but, if you’re at all curious as tohow a diagnosed as “terminal” stage IV, non-small cell lung cancer patient thinks, evennow, nearly eight years out, read on.

As much as I don’t want to think aboutwhat I’m doing and why — and just live lifeas it comes/happens, a “13-month to two-year” prognosis (originally received onFebruary 27, 2009; oh yeah, certain dates areseared into your memory), I can’t. It’s notnecessarily a lifestyle change that occurswhen you’re diagnosed, it’s more the psycho-logical and emotional hold and affect thediagnosis causes. It permeates and subcon-sciously — or so it seems, infiltrates yourbrain and changes the way you think andfeel. It’s not that you become unrecognizableto friends and family, but you definitelybecome a victim of your circumstances. It’s asif your brain is rewired somehow and you’vereached your outer limits where you’ve lostmore than the control of your television set.

To the point/example of what I’m referringto (finally) which precipitated this semi selfindulgence: my car and certain repairs,expenses and warning lights which have illu-minated, warranting attention after months ofneglect. Specifically the car to which I refer isour “second” car, the one we don’t rely onfor non-local trips: a model year 2000,Honda Accord sedan inherited from my wid-owed mother in December 2008 — with only35,000 miles on the odometer. The classicexample of a retired person’s car with incredi-bly little wear and tear and extraordinarilylow mileage given its put-in-service date:sometime in the year 2000.

As I said, it’s not our primary car, but itdoes get driven regularly given the potentialmileage restraints of our ‘primary’ car’s lease.Currently, the Honda has 94,000 miles on it.It’s been a good and reliable car which hasneeded few repairs — other than those to-be-expected, the costs of which have generallyfallen with the “usual and customary” range.The car still rides well and overall suits myrequirements for a “second” car: it gets mefrom point “A” to point “B” — and mostimportantly, back, and it has no monthly carpayment. However, there are a couple ofinconveniences/concerns which if left aloneare not likely deal-breakers but, the expenseof fixing them — on a car that is nearly 17years old, might be.

And the deal which might be broken hasto do with yours truly having lung cancer anda somewhat different life expectancy now atage 62 (versus the one I thought I would havewhen I initially took possession of my par-ent’s car in 2008 — at age 54 and twomonths, or the one I thought I had a meretwo and half months later — just before I wasinitially diagnosed). Ergo my dilemma is: do Iwant to spend major money now (for me/us)on repairs whose maximum benefit will notoccur until next spring — six months or so, atthe earliest, but if tended to now might limitthe potential damage/cost later or shall I justwait for divine intervention, so to speak? (Therepairs have to do with air conditioning thatdoesn’t cool in the summer, a window — onthe passenger side which does not open allyear round, and brake lights and the seat-beltrestraining system —”SRS,” safety issueswhich this idiot is being warned about.)

Not unsolvable problems, presumably,unless you have a terminal form of cancer.Considering that reality, don’t I want to livemore in the present and not worry about afuture, a future which is hardly guaranteed?Moreover, shouldn’t I damn the torpedoesand live full speed ahead and let the chips:lab work, scan results, car repairs, etc., fallwhere they may; finding some normalcy/sol-ace in pretending/deluding myself into think-ing that all is right in my world? To be deter-mined. Still, I know/feel one thing: if I live likeI’m dying, I probably will.
