DC Scoop: free ice cream event at Union Market on Saturday, 08-20-2011

Tania Jackson wants to advise the communities around Union Market at 6th & Florida Avenue NE about the Saturday, August 20, 2011 ``DC Scoop: Free Community Event Featuring the District’s Best Ice Cream and Frozen Treats for Foodies, Families and All Of D.C.’s Ice Cream Lovers.``

Tania advises that DC Scoop is a ``free ice cream event with a ton of different chefs and stores from all over the city offering free scoops of their ice cream to attendees.``

Tania also advises that she is eager to encourage community participation in the event.

I note that one of the many frozen treat providers is Dolcezza Gelato, which is one of the vendors at the Bloomingdale Farmers’ Market on Sundays.

So pencil in this event on your social calendar for Saturday, August 20th from 1 pm to 4 pm.

two-night McMillan developer salon: 12/6 & 12/7/2010

See this 11/29/2010 message from Tania Jackson:

In response to the request made at McMillan Meeting #3 on Saturday, 11/20/2010, Vision McMillan Partners will be hosting a two night Developer Salon at the Big Bear Cafe.

On Monday, December 6th and Tuesday, December 7th, Jair Lynch, Adam Weers and Aakash Thakkar will be available for small group talks with interested participants. The evening meetings will be a little different from the Design Salons -- rather than individuals having one-on-one time, we will be putting together four groups across two nights.

Please email Tania Jackson to get into one of the groups: mcmsalon@gmail.com. Tania is also available by phone-- call (202) 355 - 8998 with any questions.

pay attention! This Saturday's McMillan community meeting #3 will only be from 9 AM to 11 AM
