About Bowie's Fairwood

I recently was involved in the planning of two community events that were held at the new Oak Creek Club in Upper Marlboro. For both I visited the Fairwood Shopping Center in Bowie, MD. This shopping center was a short drive from Oak Creek. I was amazed at how friendly and supporttive the merchants were. Almost everyone that I spoke to was more than willing to provide assistance where ever possible. Special thanks to:

• Fairwood Cafe Liquor and Wine that donated 2 cases of beer to my golf tournament.
• Suntrust Bank in the Safeway Supermarket who were helpful in setting up my checking accounts and also in supporting and making a donation to the golf tournament.
• Marines recruiting who donated prizes.
• Gold's Gym which donated a 3 month membership for us to use as an auction item.
• Touch AV that donated gift cards.
• KBQ that catered the event.

Thanks to all who helped but thanks in particular to these merchants who showed an interest in being a part of the local community and in giving back to a local charity. Without merchants like these, the events would not have been successful.

If you are in this area, stop by the Fairwood shopping center and support them the same way they are supporting the community.
