HCCMC seeks guest speakers for Quince Orchard HS youth

Seeking lunchtime Latino/Latina speaker for lunch series at Quince Orchard High School

Can you or someone you know be engaging to young people??? Giving a very small amount of your time to share your story with Latino youth could make a huge difference in someone’s life.

Please consider talking to young people about your Hispanic experience.  It’s a way to give back that is a lot of fun. Please let me know if you or someone you know would be interested, and which day, if possible. Contact me at carmen@hccmc.org.

The Quince Orchard guest speaker series is every Monday during lunch (11-11:30 AM). Only half an hour can make an impression and inspire youth! If you are interested but there is no way you can schedule mid-day, it is possible to meet on a Tuesday through Friday at 2:15 PM.

Try it out!

Thanks,

Carmen Larsen
HCCMC

Maryland Transportation Authority announces tolling plan for the ICC; asks for response

MTA proposes EZ-Pass only tolling plan for Intercounty Connector, voice your opinion on 10/28, 10/29 http://bit.ly/3xICwo RT@mdchamber

Details of the ICC tolling plan is here http://tinyurl.com/yeka847 and WTOP coverage http://tinyurl.com/ya3pab4

Despite what the MTA Sec is quoted as saying, and average 6.6 mile @ $0.35 peak commute would cost $2.31 each way…

… not forgetting the newly enstated monthly fee for having a Maryland state EZ-Pass that some people are still not happy about.

What are your thoughts on the toll? Would it likely deter you from using the new road for your commute, or is the ICC an anticipated relief? With the toll booths being constructed, do you think it will cancel out the time-savings of the route?

Much of this is speculation, of course, but it’s interesting to think about while we’re waiting for everything to be finished. I have the luxury of not commuting that way, so I don’t *need* the ICC, but I have to admit I haven’t paid much attention since they voted to slice up the accessible bike lane areas (what I would have used the ICC for is a great connection between existing bike routes for recreational biking on the weekends).

Have any opinions?
