Hi all. Just wanted to share a summer program in the neighborhood for preschoolers. http://www.chcns.us/summerprogram Hosted at Watkins school, this 1/2 or full day summer program has tons of great activities, and unlike a lot of the other programs, just focuses on ages 2.5-5.

FS: Rubbermaid deck chest $50
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CFOW3O/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 We're moving and we don't need the chest anymore. Figured it'd be easiest to move within the neighborhood. If you're interested, let me know. Katy 249 11th Street SE katycarvt at gmail

[MomsOnTheHill] 11th & D St SE - Mini van blocking driveway
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <tanhouse@...> Date: Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 10:51 PM Subject: [MomsOnTheHill] 11th & D St SE - Mini van blocking driveway To: momsonthehill@... A silver Honda Odyssey mini-van DC tags CS-6351 is blocking our parking space. This was a MAJOR inconvenience as the minivan blocked our sitter's car in the parking space when she was attempting to leave at 10pm. If this is your vehicle, we had to call the police and it will be towed and ticketed. Jennifer

Car seat?
3
Hello neighbors! Many of you know Marc and I are getting married this Saturday. We are incredibly excited but have hit a major bump that I'm hoping one of you might be able to assist with? My future niece's car seat didn't make it out from Idaho and we need to get her to and from St. Michaels, Md this weekend. Any chance one of you has a car seat for a toddler we might be able to borrow? You would absolutely be saving the day! If so, please give me a call at (931)249-2397. Thanks, again! Best, Meg Krause 228 11th SE

Pepco Advisory
Neighbors, FYI. Please let me know if you have any storm related issues, and if you are having any problems obtaining help from the City to rectify those issues. Stay safe. Brian ANC6B05 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alert DC <alert32446@...> Date: Sat, Jun 30, 2012 at 10:14 AM Subject: Pepco Advisory To: All users <rsan@...> Violent Wind Storm Leaves 443,000 Pepco Customers Without Power Restoration Effort Will Take Several Days WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Friday night¡¯s violent windstorm that ripped through the Washington area has devastated the Pepco electric system, leaving more than 443,000 of Pepco¡¯s 788,000 customers without power. Winds in excess of 70 miles per hour uprooted trees and blew down limbs, which brought down numerous power lines and broke crossarms and poles. Due to the widespread damage and the large number of outages, the power restoration effort is expected to take several days. Critical customers who need electricity for life support equipment are advised to seek shelter where power is available. The weather forecast for the Washington area calls for more thunderstorms today, which could cause additional outages. ¡°As soon as the storm passed, we had crews starting to assess the damage,¡± said Thomas H. Graham, President, Pepco Region. ¡°We¡¯ll continue conducting a comprehensive assessment, which we¡¯ll use to strategically deploy crews. We¡¯ll work full force and around the clock until every customer is restored.¡± After a severe storm such as this, assessing damage and estimating when customers will be restored could take more than 24 hours after the storm has passed. All Pepco employees have a second role during emergencies and will participate in the restoration effort. The utility is calling for crews from other utilities to assist with restoring service. However, the large magnitude of the storm has left utilities with millions of customers without electric service from the Midwest through the Mid-Atlantic regions. It is likely that crews who are able to assist will have to travel days to arrive. Pepco will restore power by targeting wires serving critical infrastructure, such as hospitals, fire stations, water filtration plants and police stations, as well as those serving the largest number of customers. The safety of our customers and crews is paramount. Customers are urged to avoid working crews and to stay away from all downed wires, even if they don¡¯t appear to be energized. All outages and downed wires should be reported to 1-877-PEPCO-62, through pepco.com or through the mobile app, available for downloading at pepco.com/mobileapp. Customers should request a call back to verify their power has been restored.

alert from casey trees
Casey Trees (http://caseytrees.org/) This week's watering alert is DRY. Make sure to keep your trees watered with 25 gallons of water per week. While you're at it, look out for street tree damage to report (call 311 or go to http://311.dc.gov/) and see if any of your own (non street-) trees need the attention of an arborist.

Eastern Market Weekday Farmer's Line and Quick Updates
2
Neighbors, A few quick updates for you: Eastern Market Weekday Farmers' Line - I'm happy to announce that Eastern Market will hold its first weekday farmers' market on Tuesday, July 10th from 3-7PM. The line will be a mix of the familiar and the new, with 6 new farmers joining 5 farmers from the current weekend line. Several of the new farmers are Amish farmers from Maryland. Please consider dropping by and supporting both our Market and the local food shed. Security Walk - It has been awhile since our last walk, so mark your calendars for Friday, July 20th from 9-11PM. We'll rally at the corner of Kentucky and Independence Ave, then walk for an hour before linking up with MPD for the last half of the walk. ANC6B's New Executive Director - ANC6B recently selected a new Executive Director from several excellent, highly qualified candidates. We are lucky to have Susan Eads-Role serving in the position. Susan is our neighbor (of the 200 block of 10th St gang) and brings a wealth of parliamentary and legislative experience to the job. In addition to ensuring that the operations of the Commission run smoothly, Susan is yet another resource to help residents navigate the various processes of DC government, from zoning to historic preservation and beyond. 311 on-line - 311, the District's service call center, launched a mobile application in April. You can download it at http://seeclickfix.com/washington. I've been using it for about two months now and find it to be very handy for quickly submitting infrastructure problems (street lights, pot holes, etc.) to the City. Of course, it's not a panacea, but it is a helpful tool. If you are using it already and have any feedback, I'd love to hear it. Grade DC - If you don't get your problem fixed fast enough, consider letting the City know about it at http://grade.dc.gov, the City's newly launched feedback collection platform. It remains to be seen what the City will do with the information it collects, but it never hurts to provide them with feedback both negative and positive. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns and I'll do my best to get back to you. And please, please, please if you see me out and about, don't hesitate to stop me and let me know what's on your mind. My wife recently overheard someone at a sidewalk cafe saying that I looked "unapproachable", when the truth is most likely they just observed me trying to stay one step ahead of my five-year old son! I am always happy to hear what you have to say, even if its a registration of disagreement. Speaking of disagreement, look for updates on Hine, Eastern Market legislation and the status of several other neighborhood projects in the next week or two. Regards, Brian
