Washington DC Temple gets Parks Commission tour (Trip to Morman Temple)

Washington DC Temple gets Parks Commission tour (Trip to Morman Temple)

WASHINGTON, DC -- The Washington DC Temple in Kensington, Maryland has achieved such a landmark status that the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is sponsoring a trip December 7th for seniors to visit. The government-funded commission, which operates the parks for Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties, the two suburban Maryland counties bordering Washington DC, is apparently charging seniors $4 to transport them by van from Camp Springs, Maryland, in southern Prince Georges County, to the Temple in Montgomery County.

The tour will allow the seniors to "view multimedia presentations, videos, statues and holiday decorations," evidently those provided for free by the Temple visitor's center. The tour will also take all day, lasting from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The listing in the Post is unfortunately marred by the misspelling "Morman."
