On October 5, 2007, I was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.
In keeping with the policy of the Metropolitan Police Department,
I was transferred from the Third District,
and sent back to the Sixth District in Anacostia,
where I began my policing career.
I am eager to take this big step in my professional development,
but I would be remiss if I did not take an opportunity to
thank you for all that you have done to prepare me for this
advancement.
For the past 3.5 years, I have worked alongside the
best and most active community members in the District of Columbia,
and in doing so, I have learned a great deal about
working with and for the community. I thank you for your assistance,

and look forward to crossing paths again here in the city.
Please feel free to contact me if there is anything that I can assist
you with.
Thanks again and be safe.

Happy Hour Fund Raiser

SolidarityDC is thrilled to be co-hosting the
Happy Hour to benefit the 7th Street Garden!

6-9 PM

ANDALU

1214 18th St NW

Live Music by Evan Bliss & the Welchers

The 7th Street Garden is a highly productive community food garden
wherein participants learn to grow, cook and market produce; the
garden's produce is given to low-income Shaw residents. The garden
unites diverse communities through the provision of local food
production. Urban gardens not only directly alleviate food insecurity,
but also foster trust and camaraderie amongst program participants.
This relationship ultimately leads to the development of strong
communities.

Solidarity DC is a group committed to bringing the DC metropolitan
area's progressive community together to have fun and achieve justice,
one Happy Hour at a time! We're now in our second year! To learn more
about the event or Solidarity DC or to get email updates,
contact solidaritydc@gmail.com.

Andalu is giving us a wonderful deal by opening the bar early so we'll
have it all to ourselves, as well as donating 100% of the cover and
proceeds from drink specials !!!
