| July MVSNA Meet & Greet | Ron Green from Good Libations at 5th & M Streets NW very generously donated some bottles of wine for tonight! He insisted we try some intriguing selections such as a riesling called "Kung Fu Girl." not the typical grocery store wine for sure. We've got a lot so come on out tonight & help us drink it

| CityPaper Housing Complex: Good news for Gibson Plaza | What's with the pointy things on top? The look completely unneccessary and suburban.

| Fenty and Gray at July 21 Straw Poll | Someone should ask Mr Fenty and Mr Gray about summer youth employment programs that pay students to go to school, why such programs exist, and what the statistics show about their effectiveness. At the recent Stein Club candidates forum this month, CM Mendelson, Chair of the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, stated that he is opposed "to paying kids to go school", he suggested that reports show that the Mayor's summer jobs program has been a "failure," noting that "there has been gross overspending on these programs," and "the kids who are in these programs are not learning the skills, not getting the workforce skills, not getting the education — the benefits just aren't there," adding that "the program has been grossly mismanaged and needs to be restructured."

| UHOP Parade | Unfortunately - that's not always true - I pass out the MVSNA flyers regularly and I hardly ever come into contact with one of the neighbors/residents when distributing the flyers. I'm not doing it at strange hours - or during the typical work time-frame .... There is no problem with spreading the information in several different ways ... just realize that some people are going never going to be happy that they weren't directly/personally notified about the event.

| Donating Coats | the Fringe Festival is hosting a Free Store, which will be located next to the Vince Gray campaign office, on 6th across NY Ave. they accept clothes (clean, in decent condition), books and music. You donate stuff, you can take stuff away, all free.

| UHOP Parade | I know this is late, but this isn't the first time I've seen people on here complaining about lack of notice and then being told it was all over the internet somewhere. I have to absolutely agree with Melissa. Fliers are a great way to disseminate information, and guess what? That means we are actually out in the community seeing or talking to other people, instead of sitting inside behind our computers typing about how we live here. I don't think actively warning your neighbors instead of passively putting information somewhere out there is the worst idea in the world.

| Donating Coats | If you have a car I go to the Goodwill at Arlington Blvd (Rt50) and Glebe in Arlington. Its a short drive, they are very efficient, and simply hand you a blank receipt to fill in later.
