2009 White House Ornament

        The 2009 White House Ornament is available at the MWR ITT Outlet. 
Payment must be made either by phone at 410-293-9200 or by visiting the MWR Recreational Services Bldg. #89, Monday - Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
        The ornament commemorates the 24th presidency of the United States. It is the second of two produced in Grover Cleveland’s honor by the White House Historical Association. He is the only president to have been elected to two non-consecutive terms (22nd president from 1885 to 1889 and 24th from 1893 to 1897)
        This second ornament illustrates the special place of the Christmas tree in the holiday celebrations of President Cleveland’s young family. The central hologram depicts the south façade of the White House after an evening snowfall. The warm glow of the first Christmas tree to be illuminated by electric lights is seen through the tall windows of the second floor Oval Room beyond the center of the columned portico. This softly colored view is based on a modern watercolor rendition by Margaret Huddy, a Washington, D.C.-based painter.
        The reverse side of the ornament recreates a scene from the tree-trimming parties of President and Mrs. Cleveland, which were held annually for their children and those of cabinet members. The words of a period newspaper report help to describe the president’s delight in preparing Christmas day for his young family. A finely crafted gold plated wreath of snowflakes, painted ice blue and white, frames the oval ornament. The 2009 White House Christmas Ornament can be viewed at www.whitehousehistory.org

    MWR Annapolis Recreation Services Automates

        MWR Recreational Services at Naval Support Annapolis is automating its business services by upgrading from a “cash register” system to the RecTrac Point of Sales system. RecTrac is already in place at some of the other installations in Naval District Washington.

        The new system requires a limited database and makes future transactions more convenient and efficient for customers. MWR is asking customers at the Annapolis Area Complex to complete a brief data card and save time by submitting this information in advance of their next transaction.

        The data card form can be found at the link below. Copy and paste the link into your browser’s URL. Please print a copy of the form and return it either in person to the MWR Recreational Services Bldg. #89 or FAX it to 410-293-9205.

         Forms will also be available at Bldg. #89. For more information, call Tony Figlia, MWR Recreation Director, at 410-293-9210.
