JBG RECOGNIZED FOR COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY
The Montgomery County Volunteer Center awarded JBG the 2014 Montgomery Serves Award, given annually to 4 winners who engage in extraordinary community service and volunteerism. During the 2013 Days of Giving effort, over 400 JBG employees volunteered over 1600 hours of time with 10 charities. Habitat for Humanity and A Wider Circle were among the organizations benefitted by the JBG efforts.
Andrea Kempner-Wink of the MCVC said that JBG's volunteer mobilization in 2013 placed the firm at "the top position" among businesses and organizations countywide.
JBG was also named 2014 Builder of the Year by the Affordable Housing Conference of Montgomery County, for its commitment to increasing affordable housing in the area. AHCMC also commended JBG's volunteer efforts.
Among JBG's projects in downtown Bethesda are 7770 Norfolk, and projects on the boards near Fairmont Plaza and Bethesda Row.

HELP OK TORNADO VICTIMS BY DRINKING ADULT BEVERAGES AT REDWOOD BETHESDA? IT'S TRUE!
Can the consumption of alcoholic beverages help your fellow man (and woman)?
The answer is, "Yes!" this week at Redwood on Bethesda Lane.
Through June 2, enjoy this special, limited-time Okies Hope cocktail at Redwood, and 75% of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross.
Pretend you're Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, and take on this difficult task for the good of all (wo)mankind. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.
This drink looks mighty good, I have to say.
