Schools out for the Summer...
DCCA Membership Meetings are on hold for the summer but we will be back with a new line up of speakers and topics after Labor Day.

In the meantime we will continue to do our work supporting the community, sharing local news and events, and keeping you updated on planning, volunteer, sponsorship, and ticket purchase opportunities for the October Dupont Circle House Tour.

Wishing you a sunny summer break until we meet on Monday, October 7th.
Thank you to the Dupont Green Team
On Saturday morning, DCCA green thumbs Robin Diener , Marcy Logan and Rebecca Martin organized a spirited crew to help transplant, weed, and trim at the T Street Parks. When you walk by the park at 17th and T Street and the nearby tree boxes and pocket parks, take the time to admire the refreshed green space and your neighbors' hard work. If you'd like to join the garden team and be updated on future meetups or volunteer for a watering shift, send your contact information to info@dupont-circle.org .

In case you missed it, here’s a link to Wash Post’s delightful gardening columnist Adrian Higgins on May’s  explosion of green life .

Spotlight on 2018 House Tour Sponsors
Sidewalk cafe season is in full swing and Magnolia Kitchen & Bar is a prime spot for people watching while catching up with friends and neighbors. Magnolia is open seven days a week and offers a fabulous dining menu. Pro tip for the adventurous - try the Scarlett Buzz, a beverage that starts with a zippy bite of a Szechuan Button flower balanced by an expertly mixed cocktail. Stop by soon and be sure to thank Magnolia for sponsoring the DCCA House Tour!
