Safe travels from all of us at the Gaithersburg Community Museum.
We'll be making a climbing spider for this weekend's Drop-in Trick or Treating at the Museum.
Today is Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. The date was chosen to reflect the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. The Holocaust is an almost unimaginable episode in our recent history. At the City Council meeting on April 15, Councilmember Neil Harris shared his family's experience with the Holocaust. Through his story we can see not only how it has affected someone from Gaithersburg, but the continuing ripple effects of the Holocaust through to today.

It's National Wellness Month. We will be practicing Mindfulness Breathing at the museum. When we feel overwhelmed, stopping and just breathing can help put things into perspective and allow us to think more clearly.
