As we age, our thirst diminishes, making proper hydration crucial for seniors. This seminar with Dupont Circle Village will provide valuable insights on how to maintain optimal hydration. Older adults, especially those with chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease, require tailored nutrition to manage their health effectively. Neelam Singh is a Certified Holistic Health and Functional Nutrition Coach and Yoga Teacher with over ten years of experience. She empowers individuals aged 45 and above to take charge of their well-being through natural solutions.

Open to all friends and neighbors interested in learning about the village and the services our volunteers provide. RSVP and application required. Zoom link will be sent to registrants.

Aventino opened in January and quickly built a buzz for its unique blend of "traditional Roman cuisine with nods to the Jewish ghetto neighborhood and chef Mike’s Italian-Jewish background." It can be crowded and noisy, but we‘re hoping an early August Tuesday will be less of each of those! It‘s also a bit pricey, but friends say it‘s worth it.
Once a month we pick a restaurant and descend en masse – partly for a fun meal out, partly to sample new places (or new choices from old places!), and partly to get to know each other better.
We start early to go easy on the restaurant and get a little extra attention before the place fills up. Come at 5:30 for a Happy Half-Hour! We’ll have name tags for all. RSVP is required to co-lead Janet Dante, the earlier the better.

As they say, “We meet each person we serve where they are – identifying challenges, providing comprehensive support, and pursuing solutions together.” That means sharing not just goods, but also skills and connections from neighbor to neighbor – including career support for people entering or re-entering the work force.

We‘ve sampled a lot of different cuisines from around the world. In September we‘re going to keep it simple - with just a single menu choice, steak frites, at a place that makes that their whole business.
Once a month we pick a restaurant and descend en masse – partly for a fun meal out, partly to sample new places (or new choices from old places!), and partly to get to know each other better.
We start early to go easy on the restaurant and get a little extra attention before the place fills up. Come at 5:30 for a Happy Half-Hour! We’ll have name tags for all. RSVP is required to co-lead Janet Dante, the earlier the better.

Little Falls Watershed Alliance is a volunteer group started in 2008 to protect the fragile natural environment of 9.5 sq miles in lower Montgomery County.

Learn more about the Watershed Alliance here https://www.lfwa.org/volunteer.
We will join other volunteers to pickup trash in a flat area by the Bethesda Pool on Little Falls Pkwy, before it reaches the water. The Alliance does not ask for registration, but register with BMAV to meet up with others and carpool together.
The Alliance will provide gloves, bags, and safety vests but bring your own gloves if you have them, and wear sturdy shoes. Will be cancelled in case of inclement weather.

Alleyways in Washington, DC, have always been a fundamental part of the city‘s life and economy. Deliberately hidden from public view by the capital‘s early planners, DC‘s alleys were created to provide access to stables, carriage houses, and other utility buildings. But as the city grew and property values rose, the nature of some alleys and their buildings changed, resulting in a parallel world of residential, manufacturing, and artistic spaces. Kim Prothro Williams reveals this world in a fascinating and richly illustrated history.
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the city‘s inhabited alleys were often unsanitary spaces that were home to its poorest residents. These conditions spurred Progressive Era campaigns to demolish alley dwellings, which in turn led to the displacement of minority and disadvantaged communities. Today, many remaining alleyways, with their intimately scaled buildings, have been transformed into vibrant commercial and residential spaces. Yet this new wave of development raises questions about how spaces that were once reserved for the city‘s poorest residents now cater to the wealthy.
Kim Prothro Williams is an architectural historian with expertise in our region’s historic places. She is the National Register Coordinator at the WDC Historic Preservation office and has written numerous articles and 3 books on this topic. Join us to hear Williams colorfully explain why she is passionate about what we can learn from our history via an exploration of historic landmarks.

“Renovation” doesn’t begin to capture the transformation of the world’s largest repository of Shakespeare material, which closed for four years to completely transform and expand the facility from its initial 1932 design. Vast new exhibit spaces were carved out from underneath the old Folger. New garden paths are fully accessible, and elevators were added that make all the public spaces of the Folger accessible, including the balcony of the Elizabethan Theatre for the first time. There is also a new café onsite. On display are 82 copies of Shakespeare’s First Folio and a replica of the printing press used to print the First Folio in 1623. Interactive displays allow exploration and connection of the early modern world to contemporary times.

Not all of us approach the holidays with the feeling of it being "the most wonderful time of the year." Riddled with expectations, December is rife with reasons that can sometimes make celebrations seem stale or joyless.

Note new date! Weather permitting, BMAV members will meet in-person at Bethesda Lane the second Thursday of each month - the benches near Luke‘s Lobster, which is in the pedestrian paved area between Elm St and Bethesda Ave off Arlington Rd. Maman, Hawkers and Dolcezza Gelato are other establishments located in that area.
BYO coffee. RSVPs are not required. Hosted by Ann Labriola and Naomi Collins.
If the weather is uncertain, we will send out an email by 9am on the day of the event to those on our email list to confirm or cancel the official coffee hour. People are certainly welcome to meet informally on their own if weather conditions improve after that time.
