Pet Peeves Ride Again
While I like a lot of things about Maryland, how people behave in public is NOT one of them. We got this reminder for train riders but basic courtesy applies not only to all travel but also the way we behave everywhere in public. Read on...
Courtesy Toward Your MARC Train Neighbor
Courtesy is contagious, but as we get caught up in our daily commute we often forget to consider the comfort of our fellow commuters. This includes cell phone usage, placing items on the seat next to you, and the use of perfumes and colognes. To ensure that everyone has a safe and pleasant trip, please be aware of the following rules:
· Passengers must allow conductors, or any authorized representative, to inspect all tickets or cash fare receipts upon request. Tickets may be inspected more than once during a trip. Tickets must be removed from any carrying case if requested by the conductor.
· No seats are reserved on MARC Trains. Please do not inconvenience others by holding or blocking seats with parcels, clothing or other items.
· Most railcars contain designated seating for senior citizens and passengers with disabilities. These seats must be provided to these persons if requested.
· Smoking is prohibited (includes electronic cigarettes) onboard MARC Trains or inside MTA owned stations, waiting areas, or on MTA-owned or leased platforms. Amtrak policies apply at Amtrak owned stations (Washington, New Carrollton, BWI Marshall Airport and Baltimore Penn Station).
· Do not stand in aisles when seats are available. Standing is never allowed on stairs or in vestibules. Please allow the conductors to walk through the cars for ticket collection, or any emergencies that may arise.
· Improper conduct, intoxication, offensive actions or language that is objectionable to other passengers and/or the train crew, or is disruptive to the safe operation of the train is not permitted.
Thank you for helping to make the MARC Train Service a pleasant experience for everyone!

Local Employment Support Group
The Gaithersburg Presbyterian Church (GPC)
Employment Support Group provides a supportive Christian environment for those
who are unemployed, about to be unemployed, underemployed, or seeking a career
change. The group meets twice a month, second Monday
and fourth Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in
Room 202, is free, confidential, and open to the
public. Meetings last about an
hour.
All are welcome!
Facilitated by lay members with support from
other job seekers, the meetings begin and end with prayer and include roundtable
discussions on each person’s situation, then group discussions on employment
resources, job hunting techniques, networking, and interviewing. We bring Jesus
into employment-related decisions to encourage each other and meet both
practical and spiritual needs.
Employment Resources

Using LinkedIn as part of your networking toolkit can open doors to opportunities, by helping you leverage the professional relationships you already have - and new strategic contacts you develop! It’s not just who you know, but who those people know…and who those people know.

- Professional Outplacement Assistance Center (POAC) is a service offered by the Maryland DLLR providing assistance to individuals who are in the professional, executive, technical, managerial, and/or scientific occupations.
