The following events will occur throughout the Second District for the month of October in celebration of Crime Prevention Month. I hope you will participate along with the officers to show your support. For parents who prefer their children not go trick or treating, the 2D Halloween Party is a great alternative including goodie bags, a magician, and a haunted house (for older children). Thank you.

Suggestions for cultural music group for an event?

Posted by: "egdaerr" egdaerr@starpower.net   egdaerr

Tue Oct 7, 2008 3:24 am (PDT)

I am involved with a nonprofit that is holding an international conf.
April 9-12, 2009, and we are looking for music to play at the opening
evening's reception. I would like to have a musical group with some
cultural focus since it is an international theme. The group would
most likely provide background music, but it would be cool if they
did some brief presentation that explains the music's background or
cultural significance.

The event would probably last 2-3 hours. As a nonprofit, we hope that
the group would provide the music as in-kind services. In exchange,
the performance would be advertised in the progam and on the website.
I don't have exact details, but we could discuss options for mutual
benefit.

The conf. will be held at the Bethesda Hyatt and we expect to have
more than 500 attendees. Our nonprofit promotes scientific integrity
in public policy and separation of church and state issues.

Any suggestions and contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Elizabeth Daerr

Mayor Fenty Announces Expanded Recycling Program

Mayor Fenty Announces Expanded Recycling Program

Plastic Bags, Aerosol Cans, Wide Mouth Jars, and Plastic Toys Now Can be
Recycled

Mayor Adrian Fenty announced that starting today Department of Public
Works recycling collection crews will accept an expanded list of items
for recycling, especially plastics. Now residents can recycle film
plastics like grocery, produce, and dry cleaning bags, as well as
aerosol cans and a variety of rigid plastic including plastic lawn
furniture, toys and flower pots.

"We are meeting District residents' demand for increasing the types of
recyclables we collect," said Mayor Fenty. "Washingtonians are deeply
committed to halting the damage being done to the environment and
recycling is a win-win program for the District and the environment."

Mayor Fenty noted that District residents exceed national recycling
rates for newspapers, cardboard and plastic and glass bottles. He added
that there are opportunities to increase the overall recycling rate by
increasing the number of acceptable items and diverting more cardboard,
and steel and aluminum cans from the landfill to the recycling
processing center.

"Educating residents is vital to increasing the number of people who
recycle as well as increasing the volume of recyclables collected that
are converted into new products," said Mayor Fenty.

DPW Director William O. Howland, Jr. said, "The value of potential
recyclables depends on the market available for the recovered materials
and, until recently, the market for these new items was scarce. Over
time, we have seen new and imaginative final products derived from
recycled materials. Clothing and kitchen countertops are among the
products made from recyclables and we take for granted that what we buy
contains some recycled content."

"With this expanded list, most residents will probably find they fill
their bins or blue recycling carts more than their 32-gallon trash cans
or their Supercans," Howland added.

Beginning October 6, residents can recycle:

* Aerosol cans

* Milk and juice cartons

* Plastic bags, e.g., grocery bags, newspaper bags,
shopping bags (Please "bag the bags" by placing all the bags into one
bag.)

* Rigid plastics: plastic milk/soda crates, plastic
buckets with metal handles, plastic laundry baskets, plastic lawn
furniture, plastic totes, plastic drums, plastic coolers, plastic
flower pots, plastic drinking cups/glasses, plastic 5-gallon water
bottles, plastic pallets, plastic toys, and empty plastic
garbage/recycling bins

* Wide-mouth containers: peanut butter,
margarine/butter tubs, yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise,
whipped topping, and prescription and other medicine bottles.

For a complete list of accepted recyclables and instructions, review a
copy of the new DPW Reference Guide, which is being mailed out to DPW
customers and distributed throughout the city, or visit
www.recycle.dpw.dc.gov <http://www.recycle.dpw.dc.gov/> . Residents
whose recyclables exceed their container(s) can put additional
recyclables in either a brown paper bag or a small cardboard box and
place them next to their recycling bin or cart. For an additional cart
or bin, residents may call 311.

House to Rent

Posted by: "bk" bk@bethlaw.com   bethstally

Tue Oct 7, 2008 3:27 am (PDT)

I am going back to Houston at the end of October for 5-6 months and need
someone to rent my house again this year while I am gone. I do plan to come
back for a couple of days every so often (theater and ballet tickets) during
the winter.

I have a lovely home (3/4 bedroom/3 bath/separate home office) with all
bells and whistles in close in AU Park, a 5 minute walk from the Tenley
Metro, the Mass Avenue express bus line to downtown, and less than a mile to
both the AU Law School and AU main campus.

Thus, I am looking for someone who would have the house essentially to
themselves for most of the time, and would be the primary caretaker of the
house. (Only my bedroom and bath would not be available.)

This is the perfect opportunity for someone in DC on a temporary assignment
(e.g., Pentagon or State, visiting professor, Obama transition team) or who
needs to be in DC part of every week and commutes back and forth to their
own home every weekend (e.g., a Congressperson, lobbyist) or whose house is
being renovated and needs a place to live during this period.

I am very flexible as to all terms and conditions -- the important thing for
me is finding the right person (or adult couple); small pet welcome.

If you have any interest or know of anyone who may be looking, please
contact me (or have them contact me) directly. I am not a member of any
other listserve or group and so would appreciate cross-listing for me to
Chevy Chase/Bethesda/Friendship Heights, etc.

Thanks.
