Hello Friends,
Please join us on Saturday Jan 21,2017 on a bus trip to participate in the Women's March on Washington.  "The Women's March on Washington will send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us." (source: https://www.facebook.com/events/2169332969958991/).  The March is not just for women; all are welcome. 
The  bus will leave from the  Riverdale Temple at 4:36 am and arrive at the Lincoln Memorial at 10:00 am.  The bus will leave Washington at 5:00 pm and return to the Riverdale Temple at approximately 10:23 pm.  You may leave your car in the Temple Parking Lot for the day. 
The cost is $68 round trip, but the price might be lower depending on how many people book the trip.  The bus can hold 55 people, and the current price is based on 38 people booking a trip. 
To book on line, go to Riverdale Temple Women's March on Washington: http://rallybus.net/Riverdale-Temple-Womens-March-on-Washington/?ReferredBy=109897
See the FAQ page for details about the bus and the trip. http://rallybus.net/FAQ
