An Amazing Creation: Thingamajig

Even in its 14th year, the Thingamajig Invention Convention continues to be as unique as its name. More than 3,500 local children got the opportunity to create unique inventions and learn about the importance of protecting the environment on August 7 as we focused on going "Green and Lean."

Thingamajig was a resounding success again this year thanks to the efforts of dedicated staff members and more than 270 volunteers from local businesses and organizations including:

Acme Auto Leasing, LLC	America's Promise
Best Buy	Borders Solution Group
CareFirst	Curiosity Zone
D.C. Department of Public Works	D.C. Fire and EMS Dept.
Early, Cassidy & Schilling	Enterprise Rent-A-Car
F.S. Taylor & Assoc.	Kane Printing
Kohl's	Leadership Washington Class of 2007-2008
Long and Foster	Maryland National Capital Park & Planning Commission
M&T Bank	Prince George's County Government Recycling Team
Randstad USA	Wachovia Bank
Washington Gas	Washington Divas

Of course, none of this would have been possible without our Thingamajig sponsors.
