Hello!

Happy Fourth of July! May you have a wonderful holiday with family and friends. Please take note that my phone number has changed. It is now 240-625-7416.

Neighborhoods 1st Locust Point

The Neighborhoods 1st Locust Point group is grateful to everyone who helped make our first block party such a success! There were more than 100 people who attended, the covered dishes were plentiful and a few new friendships were made. If anyone who attended would like to see the photos taken that day, they can be viewed on our yahoo group at tinyurl.com/4y5bat.

Now that the block party is over, the group has several new goals for its neighborhood to reveal in the near future.

The group welcomes anyone who wants to get involved to come to the next meeting on Tuesday, July 8, at 7 p.m. at the Full Life Family Ministries building at 80 W. Lee St. For further information, call Lois DeLisi at 703-861-8189 or Lynda Evans at 301-992-6943.
