U.S. Navy Band Commodores Jazz Ensemble
When/Where: 7:30-9 p.m. Friday at Bowie Center for the Performing Arts
Why Go? The Commodores are the Navy's jazz ensemble, a specialty unit of the United States Navy Band in Washington, DC. Expect to hear jazz, "big band," popular and patriotic music.

Volunteer to Make Blankets of Hope
When/Where: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Ascension Catholic Church and 1 to 5 p.m. at All Saints Lutheran Church

Cost: Free, some supplies provided but you may also bring your own: 2 yards of printed fleece and 2 yards of a coordinating solid fleece, scissors and a ruler
Note: Donations also accepted and checks payable to "Soldiers Angels" can be mailed to Lisa Dodson at 12305 Chalford Ln., Bowie, MD 20715
