Our annual block party, held on the 1500 block of Allison Street, was a great success! Thanks to everyone who brought food, helped with activities, or otherwise aided to make the event so much fun for so many neighbors. We had at least 120 children in attendance.
Thanks to everyone who could gather at Cecelia’s on 8/23 for a porch party! We are looking forward to closing out summer at the annual block party on 9/13!
We had about 20 seniors join the senior social on May 21. Shelley Moskowitz from East Rock Creek Village was the guest speaker and shared her experiences supporting and being its member. It is also a great opportunity explore what a Senior Village could mean for us. It was also great to connect with neighbors from SSNA, CBENA and 16th St Heights Civic Association all of whom are collaborating to incubate a possible Senior Village to serve our neighborhoods.
Thanks to everyone who came out for our quarterly meeting! We had a fantastic dinner provided by Xelajus Bakery and a great turnout with over 75 people (adults and children!).

The Spring Fling was a success! More than 100 neighbors - adults and kids - joined us despite the drizzly start. The big kids enjoyed their egg manager role and all kids - small and big - loved finding some sweets. Adults enjoyed connecting with friends and new neighbors. Special thanks to Zeke’s for donating half the coffee and to all the many neighbors who donated candy or time stuffing eggs, cleaning the garden or help with Spring Fling set up or clean up! You are what make this neighborhood so special!
