SVDC members, 40 and over, found great hiking at Seneca Creek State Park in early March, despite the snow. Afterward, we had a very social and delicious lunch at Roy's Place in Gaithersburg.

This SVDC social took approximately 30 SVDC members on a stroll through Rock Creek Park in February. It was quite beautiful, and not as cold as it looks in this picture. We learned, yet again, how much natural beauty there is in our city.



Spectacular views and excellent company made this SVDC trip to the Billy Goat Trail especially memorable.



Semi-annual clean up of Roosevelt Island.




Nearly a hundred SVDC volunteers braved heat, hard work, and a lot of waiting to handle balloons for the Fourth of July parade on the National Mall.


Weeding is a lot more fun with new friends. This is the Washington Youth Garden at the National Arboretum.

SVDC gets itself in high places...this time painting a cabin at Carderock.


SVDC provides volunteers to Food & Friends on a regular basis. Team members enjoy the hustle and bustle of assembling hundreds of meals for people suffering from life-challenging illnesses.

Approximately 500 lbs. of trash and 1,062 tires were removed from Prince William Forest Park by some incredibly industrious SVDC volunteers.



At the Azalea Gardens at Brighton Dam, we enjoyed a beautiful place, with lovely weather, and excellent company.



Roosevelt Island is a wonderful place to visit, even when pulling tires out of the mud! The social at Chipotle's in Rosslyn was a fine reward for our efforts.



The Easter Hike, 2002.



	Fixing bluebird boxes at Piscataway National Park, SVDC volunteers painted, scraped, and dug post holes. Who knew it would take that many people to fix one particularly troublesome box?






SVDC volunteers helped out with Lifeline Partnership's Mardi Gras 2002 Dance for people with developmental disabilities. Everybody had a great time. Laissez les bon temps rouler!



Ten Thousand Villages is a retail store that markets the work of Third World artisans, and pays them a fair price. It was a special delight for the SVDC team that volunteered to unpack merchandise after the Alexandria store's renovation. Every box that was opened contained something unusual and surprising to be admired.



	Once a month, SVDC helps out at Woodend, clearing invasive plants at the headquarters of the Audubon Naturalist Society.
	Volunteers attacked invasive and thorny multiflora rose. A team effort ensured that no one was left behind on this project.
	What fun it is to watch people throwing themselves into their work.


	The New Year's Eve social brought old and new friends together, including a historic photo opportunity, getting all the SVDC Queen Bees in one picture (top, center).



A huge team of SVDC volunteers assembled in Baltimore to greet the New Year in the annual MasqueParade through the Inner Harbor. These pictures are from when volunteers were still in the convention center, waiting to head out. Later, the team was treated to a fireworks display at midnight, viewed from the top of the Baltimore World Trade Center.
