the Baltimore or Metropolitan Washington D.C. area, please bring food 
enough for your family and guests.  Soft drinks, paperware and

Since most of the activities will take place indoors, the weather 
should not affect our plans.  Outdoor facilities include tennis courts, 
soccer and football fields and baseball diamond.  The outdoor 
facilities are for public use, so come early if you want to use them.  

Some water-throwing is a norm, (after all it is a water festival) 
therefore to avoid going home wet, packing extra clothes is advisable.  
Bring your own bucket to celebrate the Thingyan.  Please do not, 
however, throw water inside the building and please make sure that 
children under your care understand this requirement.  Water will be 
privided outside the building for water throwing.  

There will be ENTERTAINMENT consisting of dances, songs and thangyats.
