Hope everyone has had a good 2021 so far and is staying safe in light of the dramatically increasing Covid numbers in DC. Just a quick note to remind neighbors that we have the good fortune of being taken care of by a wonderful team of trash and recycling folks and Wade is the best damn postperson a neighborhood could ever ask for. If you have the opportunity to provide them an end of the year gift, I have zero doubts they'd greatly appreciate it. I'm pretty sure we all recognize this has been quite a trying time, especially for teams on the front line. Even if you or your family choose not to provide a gift, please take the opportunity to thank them in person or pass kind words on to them. Any and everything makes a difference! Safe travels to all who will be away for the next few days and look forward to seeing everyone out in the alley and on the stoops once it warms up again! Nick & Lauren 242 10th Street, SE

Hey Neighbors and Friends - - sign up for our awesome winter share! I have to say the veggies in the winter time are THE BEST! They are all grown in hot houses so they are impervious to bugs and other growing challenges! Join us! Martha Stracener Dantzic Quicksilver Productions Foundation martha@... Washington, DC 20003 202.669.3818 cell Begin forwarded message: From: One Acre Farm <michael@...> Subject: Only 25 shares left! Date: November 26, 2024 at 2:04:21 PM EST To: Quicksilver <martha@...> Reply-To: One Acre Farm <michael@...> View this email in your browser Help us reach 100 Winter CSA members! We wanted to send out an email during our break week between the fall and winter seasons to drum up more interest in our Winter CSA! Firstly, thank you to everyone who has signed up so far! We have 3 high tunnels full of gorgeous greens and herbs, we can't wait to start sharing them with you next week. The Winter CSA is crucial to the sustainability of our workforce. Farming during the winter is not a sure thing on many farms, and farmworkers are often left without a few months pay between the end of fall and beginning of spring. In order to keep being able to pay our wonderful team, we have the Winter CSA! And in order to fully make this work, we need at least 100 members! Supporting small businesses is crucial to the success of communities everywhere, and small farms aren't exempt from that mission! Gift your friend, neighbor, parents, or yourself a share of local vegetables this winter! Imagine fresh salads and hearty greens all winter long. Crunchy carrots and crisp radishes. Hearty potatoes and squashes. All this can be yours by joining our Winter CSA, starting next week! We take a two week break over the weeks of Christmas and New Years since we know lots of people travel and we want to make this CSA as simple as possible to enjoy! We have only 25 shares left to go to reach 100! If you haven't yet snagged your share, sign up today! Share the word with your neighbors and friends and encourage them to shop local when it comes to their food. As during the main season, we can do payment by installments, so no need to worry about paying the full amount up front. Thank you for your support and have a warm and bountiful holiday season.

Hi Neighbors, Does anyone have any recommendations of a company or person who can haul away old furniture (sectional and chairs)? Thanks for any suggestions! Jennifer 231 11th Street SE

Hi all, I wanted to recommend Michael Morse if you have any handyman needs coming up. He was absolutely fantastic. We combined a few minor repair and problem diagnosis projects with building shelving into one of our closets and he knocked it all out in about a day and a half for a reasonable price. He also flagged an exterior issue he noticed that we weren't aware of and recommended a couple contractors to address it. We are going to have him repaint our front porch and steps in the spring as well. Michael works on a half day/whole day fee model plus materials, so if you have a few random needs that have piled up over time, it is the perfect way to knock all of that out at once. He is also a neighbor who lives a few blocks over from us. Happy to answer any questions. He can be reached at morse.michael.r@... for a free estimate. Lauren & Nick 242

Hey Neighbors, does anyone have an air compressor to fill an empty car tire we might be able to use tomorrow? Would truly appreciate it! Nick 242 10th Street, SE

Too late for me as I voted early but fyi if you haven’t voted yet. Samuel Pastore has declared his write-in candidacy for ANC 6B05, recently vacated by Commissioner Kasie Durkit: A Write-In Candidate for ANC 6B05 https://www.hillrag.com/2024/11/05/a-write-in-candidate-for-anc-6b05

I found a credit card for Jaquan Brown on the street near 216 10th just now. Does anyone by that name live on the block or do you know someone with that name? If so please contact me I’ll keep the card for a few days

And to be clear - Friends and Neighbors and their friends and neighbors are welcome at 10am!!!! ( will post on TMS for 11am opening)

Hi Friends and Neighbors - Looks like we’ll have a hearty spread of fried chicken mac and cheese one acre farm Cole slaw, hand made beef patties, sandwich wraps, chips and dips and more coming. Our ice man is feeling under the weather - if anyone is out and about and can pick up some ice, we’ve got bins to receive them. Bring something to share or just come out when you can! Hoping to see some kids in costume! Shooting for a 4pm ish start! Cheers! Martha 213 11th St SE 202-669-3818

Neighbors and Friends - Looking forward to seeing lots of you on Sunday afternoon/evening for a potluck. We’ve got several new neighbors so come out to say hello and our newly spruced up River Rock Court! Feel free to do some cleaning on the alley at your own pace on Saturday and Sunday as your schedule allows. The north end is oddly in fairly good shape after they laid in the new paved squares but there’s always something to clean up there, that’s for sure! Loosely tossing out a schedule here: 4:00pm ish Happy Hour 5:00pm Dinner with an around the block parade at some point when we have Maximum kids and anyone in costume! Sunset at 6:15pm so darkness comes quickly — I’ll put out tables by our garages, feel free to put some out too if you have some. Food: I’ve heard folks are bringing sandwiches, wraps cupcakes baked goods…. we’ll bring our traditional fried chicken from H Street w mac n cheese. BYOB to share and we’ll have some ice and cooling stations hopefully happening (Greg R can you help? ) Parents with kids - can you cover kid drinks ? We may need an ice run on Sunday if anyone is heading to Safeway ( can’t wait for Mott’s to open in December, how about you?) If anyone has paper plates etc on hand - please LMK otherwise I’ll get some. (I’ve finally made it through our rotating stash!). Bring your own drinking vessel if you can. I’ve got plenty of paper napkins Text me with ideas, questions, thoughts or reply to this thread. Happy Fall! Cheers to River Rock Court! Martha 213 11th St SE 202-669-3818

Neighbors, Just checking to see if anyone has heard of a write-in candidate for ANC 6B05. We haven't but were just hoping that maybe someone has stepped forward to fill this vacancy. Linda and John @245 11th

Hi Friends and Neighbors - Now that the work on the alley is mostly done (sorry 10th St friends) - wondering if folks are up for an alley clean up over the weekend of Oct 26/27th with a potluck on Sunday late afternoon/evening Oct 27th? I know a couple folks are out of town. If folks are game to do this, I’m happy to coordinate. Let me know if you/your family is game! Happy Fall!

Hi neighbors We are cleaning out our garage this weekend and are putting free stuff out in front of our house and behind our garage. So far there are some old scooters, three-ring binders, kid size chairs, little kid toys, family games, and books. There will likely be more tomorrow. Anything not taken we will donate. Jennifer 231 11th street SE

Morning Neighbors! Know everyone has been thrilled with all of the pipe replacement, construction and general messiness that's been going on the past few months (years?) on 10th & 11th Streets. Fingers crossed it all wraps up soon..... In the meantime, we recently had our windows professionally cleaned inside and out by Mr. Horace Blizzard who has been doing this work on Capitol Hill for decades. We found him and his small team thorough, qualified and efficient. On top of it all, we didn't realize how dirty things had gotten until they made our windows look brand spanking new after a little more than an hour of work! Anyway, we couldn't recommend him highly enough. Mr. Blizzard can be reached at (571) 236-0060. Best wishes! Nick & Lauren 242 10th Street, SE
