Through personal correspondence written on the frontlines and home front, this centennial exhibition uncovers the history of America’s involvement in World War I.

In his postwar letter that begins “My fellow soldiers,” he recognized each individual under his command for bravery and service. My Fellow Soldiers: Letters from World War I was created by the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum in collaboration with the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University. Open 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. daily

Friday Flicks Outdoor Movie – The Boss Baby
Friday, Aug 2, 2019 at 7:30pm
Granville Gude Park and Lakehouse
8300 Mulberry Street
The Boss Baby is a hilariously universal story about how a new baby’s arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7-year-old named Tim. With a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family, DreamWorks’ The Boss Baby is an authentic and broadly appealing original comedy for all ages.
Friday Nights throughout the summer, come on out to Granville Gude Park and enjoy a movie or for the whole family. Bring a blanket or a chair, pack a picnic or grab something at our concession stand (movies only) and relax for some great lakeside entertainment! If there is bad weather, movies will be moved inside to Partnership Hall 811 Fifth Street Laurel MD 20707.

This exhibition will highlight the variety of flowering plants commemorated on US postage stamps during the past 50 years and will explore artistic themes that emerged during this period. For example, the artwork will portray a variety of flowering plants found in gardens and public spaces throughout the United States and explore the symbiotic relationship between flowering plants, bees, birds and butterflies. The exhibit will display at least 30 pieces of developmental and final artwork used to produce at least 28 flora stamps. The use of stamp art in various phases of development will enable visitors to understand the role design artwork plays in the production of postage stamps. The artwork is borrowed from the renowned Postmaster General’s Art Collection which is on a long-term loan to the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum.

Through personal correspondence written on the frontlines and home front, this centennial exhibition uncovers the history of America’s involvement in World War I. The compelling selection of letters illuminates emotions and thoughts engendered by the war that brought America onto the world stage; raised complex questions about gender, race and ethnic relations; and ushered in the modern era. Included are previously unpublished letters by General John Pershing, the general who led the American Expeditionary Forces and a person who understood the power of the medium. In his postwar letter that begins “My fellow soldiers,” he recognized each individual under his command for bravery and service. My Fellow Soldiers: Letters from World War I was created by the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum in collaboration with the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University. Open 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. daily

From managing the side effects of treatment to coping with body image anxieties, women who are diagnosed with breast cancer often encounter physical and emotional challenges. However, they don’t have to face that battle alone!
At Doctors Community Hospital’s Center for Comprehensive Breast Care, our free breast cancer support group was designed to empower women within a nurturing and compassionate environment. At monthly meetings, women are encouraged to:
-Share their experiences – providing hope and encouragement to others
-Learn about the latest healthcare innovations – becoming well-informed survivors
-Develop friendships – creating comradeship among those who have similar experiences
Our support group is facilitated by a certified breast cancer navigator and women’s health specialist. Along with inviting special guests to present on various health and healing topics, breast cancer survivors often offer one-on-one support and reassurance to women who are newly diagnosed.

Through personal correspondence written on the frontlines and home front, this centennial exhibition uncovers the history of America’s involvement in World War I. The compelling selection of letters illuminates emotions and thoughts engendered by the war that brought America onto the world stage; raised complex questions about gender, race and ethnic relations; and ushered in the modern era. Included are previously unpublished letters by General John Pershing, the general who led the American Expeditionary Forces and a person who understood the power of the medium. In his postwar letter that begins “My fellow soldiers,” he recognized each individual under his command for bravery and service. My Fellow Soldiers: Letters from World War I was created by the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum in collaboration with the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University. Open 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. daily

From managing the side effects of treatment to coping with body image anxieties, women who are diagnosed with breast cancer often encounter physical and emotional challenges. However, they don’t have to face that battle alone!
At Doctors Community Hospital’s Center for Comprehensive Breast Care, our free breast cancer support group was designed to empower women within a nurturing and compassionate environment. At monthly meetings, women are encouraged to:
-Share their experiences – providing hope and encouragement to others
-Learn about the latest healthcare innovations – becoming well-informed survivors
-Develop friendships – creating comradeship among those who have similar experiences
Our support group is facilitated by a certified breast cancer navigator and women’s health specialist. Along with inviting special guests to present on various health and healing topics, breast cancer survivors often offer one-on-one support and reassurance to women who are newly diagnosed.

Beautiful Blooms: Flowering Plants on Stamps
10:00am
National Postal Museum
Admission is always free
October 20, 2017 – July 14, 2019
This exhibition will highlight the variety of flowering plants commemorated on US postage stamps during the past 50 years and will explore artistic themes that emerged during this period. For example, the artwork will portray a variety of flowering plants found in gardens and public spaces throughout the United States and explore the symbiotic relationship between flowering plants, bees, birds and butterflies. The exhibit will display at least 30 pieces of developmental and final artwork used to produce at least 28 flora stamps. The use of stamp art in various phases of development will enable visitors to understand the role design artwork plays in the production of postage stamps. The artwork is borrowed from the renowned Postmaster General’s Art Collection which is on a long-term loan to the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum.

Venue: National Postal Museum

Through personal correspondence written on the frontlines and home front, this centennial exhibition uncovers the history of America’s involvement in World War I. The compelling selection of letters illuminates emotions and thoughts engendered by the war that brought America onto the world stage; raised complex questions about gender, race and ethnic relations; and ushered in the modern era. Included are previously unpublished letters by General John Pershing, the general who led the American Expeditionary Forces and a person who understood the power of the medium. In his postwar letter that begins “My fellow soldiers,” he recognized each individual under his command for bravery and service. My Fellow Soldiers: Letters from World War I was created by the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum in collaboration with the Center for American War Letters at Chapman University. Open 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. daily
