If you're tired of hearing about RCV happening in other cities & states wishing it would happen locally, NOW is your chance to help make it happen! Or have you heard about Ranked Choice/Instant Runoff Voting somewhere but aren't sure how it works? Come on down to:

The next Frederick City Council Meeting (Oct. 22nd at 6PM) which will include an informational presentation from Ranked Choice Voting Maryland! As a chartered city, Frederick has the opportunity to implement RCV for local elections. This would add it to a growing list of Maryland cities that are using RCV, giving voters a better way to make their voices heard.

If you want to see RCV in the city of Frederick and can attend the meeting, consider signing up to provide testimony. There's no requirement to RSVP to attend the council meeting, but if you'd like to show your support, stay connected, or get involved, please add your contact info at: https://rcvmd.org/events/frederick-council-20261022/

Hi all! I have very little weight-lifting experience and I was wondering if there are any weight-lifting communities around that are beginner friendly and are willing to help out newbies. I'm female, and I'd prefer women's groups but I'm also open to co-ed/mixed groups. I'm looking to explore olympic style or powerlifting style weight-lifting.

I'm hoping to make make some friends through joining these communities and to improve my fitness.

I have tried group workout classes that are offered at gyms, and although they aren't bad, they aren't exactly what I'm looking for. These classes only seem to be focused on getting the workout completed and the instructors don't offer much feedback on form or technique. There are also very little opportunities to form social connections since people just leave as soon as the class is over.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any recommendations. Thanks :)

Hi everyone! My friends and I will be going to a pumpkin patch near Frederick and wanted to see if there are any open mic karaoke places on Saturdays we can stop by. If you know of any places, please let me know where and what time they start. Thank you!
