GOCA: The Greater Olney Civic Association

Some of the winners were not there when winners were announced at the end of the Fun Fair and Fireworks at Olney Manor Park on Saturday and the Olney Days Parade.  Any of these prizes can be picked up at Fletcher’s BP Service Center in the Food Store any time after Friday, May 24th.  Just let the clerk(s) know that you are there to pick up an Olney Days trophy, and identify yourself, and what event you were in.  For additional information, contact, Helene Rosenheim, the 2013 Olney Days Coordinator at helene.rosenheim@verizon.net or 301 774-6774.
