So, why not change your rhythm and join a dance class? Many different types of dance classes are also offered including line dancing, soft shoe dancing, ballroom dancing, jazz dancing, and hand dancing.

CHANGE YOUR COMMUN I T Y Volunteering: A Healthy Habit Imagine something that helps adults 60 and better have lower rates of depression, a slower decline in health, and a longer life. Imagine that it’s also good for your community and that it is free. Well, imagine no more – it’s volunteering! Many volunteer opportunities can be found through the M-NCPPC Department of Parks and Recreation. It doesn’t take much to gain these benefits. Committing to just two hours a week – or about 100 hours each year - can make a difference. Volunteers often lead busy lives, but they make time to serve.

French, 2007 (G) Persepolis is an animated autobiographical film by artist Marjane Satrapi. Based on one of her popular graphic novels, the film depicts her experiences growing up in Iran “under several regimes and revolutions, the rise of the mullahs, and the imposition of the veil. It is a dark past, a hard story. But it is also a movie of surprises. There’s the striking art work, but also the tempo, fantasy, and drama, and the young author’s forceful point of view. The best thing is the sense of real lives—her parents, uncle, grandmother, friends and enemies—throbbing behind the images and voices.” (Joan Dupont, The New York Times) Iranian cuisine will be served.

Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 20 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees.

Need help? E-mail the Park and Planning Help Desk at help4smartlink@pgparks.com

Prince George’s County has 15 active Metro stations that provide untapped opportunities for future mixed-use development. Effectively developing these areas could improve both quality of life and the economy. The Planning Department, is working to support a long-term goal to develop and redevelop vibrant, walkable/bikeable, mixed-use communities around rail and bus stations throughout the county. These Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) communities are planned to include a mix of residences, retail and commercial businesses, and services that are pedestrian-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, safe, and provide a great mixture of life and work amenities.

BENEFITS OF TOD INCLUDE: ■ Support and growth opportunities for small businesses ■ Increased Transit Use ■ Minimizing our carbon footprint by reducing auto use, emissions, and costs ■ Convenience and savings to residents and businesses

REALIZING TOD OPPORTUNITIES: The Planning Department is working in concert with residents, community groups, businesses, county agencies, and elected officials, to lay the planning groundwork for TOD at locations throughout the county. TOD projects include: ■ Greenbelt Metro Area and Maryland 193 Corridor Sector Plan ■ Takoma/Langley Crossroads Sector Plan and SMA ■ Bowie State MARC Station Sector Plan ■ Subregion 4 Transit Oriented Development Implementation Project ■ Metro Green Line Transit Oriented Development Project ■ Central Branch Avenue ■ New Carrollton TDDP Plan and Transit District Overlay Zone

GET ON BOARD WITH THE GREEN LINE Opportunities for TOD are emerging along the Green Line in Southern Prince George’s County. Recently awarded a HUD Communities Challenge Grant, the Planning Department is preparing a Metro Green Line TOD Corridor Action Plan. This is a one of a kind project involving collaboration and partnerships with government agencies including the Federal, District of Columbia, Prince George’s County, and State of Maryland as well as nearby communities and civic groups. The grant awarded by HUD will support efforts to develop an action plan for a mixture of affordable housing, jobs, retail uses, and public transportation surrounding four Metro stations – Southern Avenue, Naylor Road, Suitland, and Branch Avenue Metro Stations and the ACTION STEPS to make it happen. Be a part of this exciting project! Visit www.pgplanning.org/greenlinetod.html or call 301-952-3972 for more information.
