Armed Forces Foundation Thanksgiving Dinner
November 22, 2010
Vanguard was honored to again host a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner for more than 200 soldiers and their families at Bethesda National Naval Medical Center, on behalf of the Armed Forces Foundation. We never lose sight of the generosity of our staff as well as our clients and colleagues. Even during a year that has been economically challenging for many, the outpouring of support from everyone allowed us to meet our own expectations of delivering a Class A meal, and creating an inviting atmosphere in the dining hall.

On October 2nd, 2010, nearly 500 volunteers came out in support of DCBIA's 18th Annual Community Improvement Day, and helped add 15,000 trees and plants, as well as aesthetic features, to the Metropolitan Branch Trail located in Ward 5's Edgewood neighborhood.

~ Peter Krsko, 30, director of Albus Cavus
Over a three week period in August, five artists and 40 apprentices from the city's Summer Youth Employment Program spray-painted a two story crumbling retaining wall behind Rhode Island Avenue Shopping Center in Northeast Washington. Spanning the length of a city block, what was once ignored by Red Line commuters will be seen as a vibrant streak across a familiar landscape leading to the Rhode Island Avenue Metro stop.

MEET the MET
June 5, 2010
On June 5, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy celebrated National Trails Day by hosting an event with Kaiser Permanente on the Metropolitan Branch Trail. The event, called Meet the Met: Party on the Met Branch Trail, introduced surrounding communities to a new pathway that had opened only one month before. While some area residents had been involved with the long history of getting the trail built, many in the surrounding neighborhoods didn't know that the trail existed. By working with our partners to host a celebration that included something for and from all parts of the community - free bike repairs and rentals, garden plantings and performances by the cheerleaders from nearby Beacon House - we hoped to christen the trail and introduce it to all of Northeast D.C.

We Support the Armed Forces Foundation
November 18, 2009
In support of the Armed Forces Foundation, Vanguard provided Thanksgiving Dinner for more than 250 soldiers and their families at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. We were prepared for the emotions that would potentially be stirred up while trying, humbly, to say thank you to our country's heroes. What we weren't prepared for was the outpouring of generosity from so many people and businesses in our community. We couldn't have produced such a successful event without their help and support.
