Riderwood Retirement Community’s Nearly 3,000 Residents to Vote Nov. 6

Submitted by Mel Tansill on Monday, November 5th, 12:49 pm

Nearly 3,000 residents of Riderwood retirement community will vote November 6 in two separate county voting precincts located at their campus in Silver Spring, MD.

Half of Riderwood’s 120-acre campus is located in Montgomery County and half is located in Prince George’s County. Residents will vote in either of the county precincts depending on where they actually live at Riderwood.

As the November 6 General Election nears, Riderwood retirement community in Silver Spring, MD, is a hotspot for politically passionate people, their passion outweighed only by their savvy.

Many of Riderwood’s residents belong to one of two resident-run political groups on campus—one for Democrats and one for Republicans. And though these two groups may hold different political opinions, they both serve as places for freedom of expression.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Adding a new twist to Washington Redskins football and the pre-game tail-gating tradition, the Washington Humane Society's mobile adoption van, Adopt Force One, is rolling into FedEx Field with some furry friends for four upcoming Redskins home games, starting this weekend.

Meet and greet WHS staff and volunteers, as well as adoptable cats and dogs hoping to find their forever homes while counting down till game time. Adopt Force One is part of the WHS's off-site adoption events, held at a variety of local venues and allowing potential adopters to meet the animals outside of a shelter environment - which makes it easier to meet these sweet companion animals in a more personal manner. And of course, because they're at Fed Ex Field, these felines and canines are true Redskins fans, rooting for the home team.
