Happy Hour for a Good Cause
Listen to live music and have a drink while lending your support to three groups that teach kids how to get involved in their communities.
The Shaw EcoVillage Project trains youths to be creative leaders for sustainable change in our neighborhoods. The EcoDesign Corps places high school students in internships or fellowships where they apply critical thinking skills to solve real-life community problems. At Chain Reaction, youths learn how to repair and recycle used bikes so more people in Washington, D.C., can have safe, affordable and pollution-free transportation.
The Happy Hour to Benefit Shaw EcoVillage will feature bluegrass music from the Rock Creek Ramblers and a raffle with prizes from area businesses. It all happens at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30, at the Velvet Lounge, 915 U St. NW (one block from the U Street Metro). Admission is $5. For more information, call 202/265-2019.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
