Ice Cream Social to Benefit Children's Waiting Room at Montgomery County Family Justice Center

Exclusive video from the fundraiser held at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Kensington, Maryland on Sunday, May 17, 2009. This event was organized by the Montgomery Alliance for Community Giving. It collected donations of books, stuffed animals, and money to furnish the children's waiting area at the new Montgomery County Family Justice Center. This center houses services for victims of domestic violence in one location, including the ability to transmit video to the Courthouse via Verizon-donated equipment. In this video, the host is introducing the "Celebrity Scoopers," who served ice cream at the event: Republican former Maryland Secretary of State Mary Kane, Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas Manger, Montgomery County NAACP President Henry Hailstock (that's Kensington Town Councilmember John Thompson to the left of Mr. Hailstock), AFI Silver Theater Director Ray Barry, UFCW Local 1994 President Gino Renne, Kensington Mayor Pete Fosselman, Montgomery County First Lady Catherine Leggett, and Stewart Edelstein of the University of Maryland at Shady Grove. Stay tuned for more exclusive video from this event. You can also see exclusive photos from the event on my website at http://www.robertdyer.net as well as a story about it on my blog there.
