Activities

The Book Club in our neighborhood meets regularly. An email goes out to the neighborhood inviting participation.

The Neighborhood Lunch is organized by Jean Hoyt. A local restaurant is chosen. Some friends carpool. Others meet and join the group on location. All are welcome.

We’re so lucky to have a great Yoga teacher in the neighborhood! Sophia Hu Spencer offers classes at home — 3945 Rickover Road — to students of all levels and ages. Contact Sophia at 202-701-3785 or myyogaismyyoga@gmail.com.

The Black Path Spring Cleanup is a fun way to do service, get some exercise and chat with neighbors.

A Block Party for kids of all ages has been considered.

Our annual Labor Day Picnic is a wonderful time to spend with family and friendly neighbors.

Halloween is great fun for all, with a party often hosted to kick off the trick or treat ramble.

First Snow Chili Potluck has been an annual event in the past. As soon as the snow starts to fall, the word goes out, everyone gets cooking, and we gather for dinner that evening.

Jean Hanson & Lester LaForce recommend the National Geographic “All Roads” film festival—films about foreign countries made by National Geographic grant recipients.

Valerie Tate & Gregory Arms recommend the New Orchestra of Washington (NOW), a one-of-a-kind ensemble. As a small chamber orchestra with flexible instrumentation, NOW elevates every member to his or her highest potential as an individual virtuoso and an ensemble player, creating a unique and engaging live performance experience for its audience. NOW’s programming is neither strictly classical nor purely academic. Rather, each program is conceived to be attractive, inspirational and memorable. https://www.neworchestraofwashington.org
