the Sale of Single Containers of Alcohol
Ward 5 Roundtable Discussion on Legislation to Govern the Sale of Single Containers of Alcohol
Dear Ward 5 Community Residents and Class A & B Alcohol Licenses:
I will be holding a roundtable discussion on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at 7 pm at the Isle of Patmos Baptist Church, located at 12 Street and Rhode Island Avenue NE. The purpose of the roundtable is to get input from residents and business owners on legislation to govern the sale of single containers of alcoholic beverages in Ward 5.
Legislation has been introduced for Wards 4, 7 and 8 to prohibit the sale of an individual container of the package if the capacity of the individual container is 70 ounces or less, as well as prohibit the division of a manufacturer's package of more than one container of beer, malt liquor or ale.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and concerns on this very important issue.
Sincerely,
Harry "Tommy" Thomas, Jr.

Outdoor Movie In NoMa Tonight! Goldfinger
James Bond Film Festival Continues in NoMa:
“Goldfinger” Thursday, May 22
Washington, D.C., May 21, 2008….The summer-long James Bond Film Festival, hosted by the NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) Business Improvement District (BID) in Washington, D.C.., continues this week with a free showing of “Goldfinger” on Thursday, May 22 starting at dusk.
The film will be shown outdoors at the intersection of Florida and New York Avenues, N.E. The site is located directly across Florida Avenue from the New York Avenue Metro station on the Red Line and the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) headquarters. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket and walk, bike, or take Metro.
On the Fly, DC’s latest craze in street vending, will have its bright green electric vehicle onsite serving great food from some of the city’s favorite local restaurants like Julia’s Empanadas, Rocklands BBQ, and more.
The James Bond Film Festival will be held each Thursday night through August 28, rain or shine, with each film showing preceded by an Odd-job and other Bond character look-alike contest. The film series will take place on the future site of MRP Realty’s Washington Gateway project, a one million square foot mixed-use project that will begin construction later this year. A movie schedule and map are available at www.nomabid.org.
About the NoMa BID:
NoMa is an emerging mixed-use neighborhood north of the U.S. Capitol and Union Station in Washington, D.C. Private developers have invested over $1 billion in 2007–2008 alone, with plans to develop more than 20 million square feet of office, residential, hotel, and retail space in the 35-block area covered by the NoMa BID over the next 10 years. For more information about the BID, including an interactive development map, see the BID Web site at www.nomabid.org.

BBQ in the park
See this message from John Corea, President, Crispus Attucks Development Corporation:
Dear Friends of Crispus Attucks Park,
This Saturday, please join us for a BBQ in the park to help us finish consuming all the leftover food and drink from last week's yard sale. And, er, don't dress too nicely, because we'd like you to get a little dirty while you're here! It's another Park Work Day, and we welcome any help you can give, no matter how little or how much. Possible projects this weekend include:
Weeding the Memory Garden and other planting beds
Continuing to install the wooden timber border along the edge of the park
Installing the low fencing and signage to demarcate the dog-friendly and dog-free zones
Planting groundcover in new beds
We plan on starting at 10am, and we'll have the burgers and dogs ready by around 12:30 pm or so. Hope to see many of you there!
Thanks,
John C

Big Yard Sale at Crispus Attucks! this Saturday!
I'll be at the open studio of the washington glass school this saturday, but i would like to encourage everyone to hit up on the Crispus Attucks Yard Sale. This is a wonderful event in a FANTASTIC park. ( if you care to do both.. please come to the glass school event! but definitely Crispus Attucks)
Friends of Crispus Attucks Park:
Several of you have mentioned that you were interested in selling at this year's Bloomingdale Community Yard Sale in Crispus Attucks Park, but hadn't signed up because you didn't want to have to haul everything back home that you weren't able to sell.
Well, we have some good news! Mike Pietch, owner of Pietch Moving, is offering to haul to Goodwill items that people don't want to carry back home with them. If you're interested, please just keep a few things in mind:
-CADC will be asking for a small monetary donation (probably about $10) from those who wish to take advantage of this service.
-Goodwill will not accept just anything, so you should be selective in what you bring to the Yard Sale.
-If your unsold items are deemed inappropriate for Goodwill, there will be a dumpster available, however, it has limited capacity, so we cannot 100% guarantee there will be room for everything.
-Leaving any unsold items in the Park or its surrounding alleys or streets is strictly prohibited.
-We'll need you to help load your items into the truck; we don't have enough volunteers to do this ourselves.
-We will not be able to provide you with a receipt from Goodwill for the donation.
We hope this makes it easier for some people to sell this year.
But hurry, the Yard Sale and Health Fair event is THIS Saturday, May 17th. Registering to sell is just $35 -- a bargain since we do all the promotion and advertising for you (including Washington Post, DC North, City Paper, Craig's List, listserves, Yard Sale sites, posters, banners, and flyering around the neighborhood and around town).
For Registration Form and Flyer, visit www.crispusattuckspark.org. Questions, email info@crispusattuckspark.org, or call 202-550-2631.
Thanks!
