Reminder, tonight is the June ANC meeting, which will be held in person (and online) at St. John’s on O St. It begins at 6:30 pm. If you want to log in via Zoom, access this link. I’m really hoping people come out to the first in-person meeting for the ANC in over three years. I’m also interested in hearing people’s experiences logging in from home.
There will be a small children’s pride parade down R St. to the library on June 3rd. It should be a lovely time for everyone and I hope the neighborhood comes out in support. And one way you can really show your support would be to volunteer to help the event go nice and smoothly!
Specifically, the library is looking for individuals to serve as parade marshals. The responsibilities are fairly light, as described below:
There was a scary, early morning break in on 34th St. yesterday morning. MPD responded quickly and arrested two suspects, one of who had an outstanding warrant from Texas. Great job with the quick response MPD!
A woman was charged with second degree murder in connection with the car crash in Rock Creek next to Rose Park in March. Infuriatingly, she had been previously charged with drunk driving three times (in one case while she was still on probation from another time), and yet was still driving.
For the first time since early 2020, ANC2E will meet in person next week. We will be meeting at St. John’s church on O St. This will, of course, be the first time that the current ANC has held a public meeting in person, so please come see our smiling faces in the flesh.
The meeting will be also broadcast virtually to those that cannot attend. I am personally excited to see how that works in practice. I see strong advantages both to being in-person and being virtual. In-person certainly allows for a more normal discussion. And, importantly, you can hear people actually laugh when you make a joke.
After a long delay, the Georgetown Apple Store is finally going to reopen this Saturday. At least according to new signage on the windows.
This store, which originally opened in 2010 shut down for renovations last year. Although the renovations were only supposed to take a month or so, they certainly dragged on. So much so that people began to speculate that the store was leaving the neighborhood. (I certainly took note of the fact that Apple stopped renting 1250 Wisconsin Ave. to use as auxiliary space.)
Come on out on June 3rd for the Friends of Volta Park’s annual spring cocktail party fundraiser! The party will be held at the George Town club from 4:30 – 6:30. This is one of my favorite annual get-togethers and a great way to catch up with neighbors.
We’re pleased to announce that this year’s Volta Park Cocktail Party & Fundraiser returns to the George Town Club on June 3!
Historically, each spring, members of our community who care about Volta Park come together for its most important fundraiser of the year. Guests enjoy cocktails and appetizers while they bid on luxury items, gift certificates for dining and hotel experiences, vacations, and more, all donated by generous businesses and friends in our community.
Last year’s party – our first at the George Town Club – was such a success we’ve decided to gather there again this year, Saturday, June 3, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. As is always the case, this event will have limited tickets and will sell out so please buy your tickets – $225 each on our “Donate” page or Venmo @FriendsofVoltaPark to secure your spot.
As the source for the majority of our contributed donations and funding each year, this event is a must-attend for all of our Volta Park supporters. We hope to see you there!
