REMINDER: Edgewood Neighborhood Cleanup TOMORROW!
I've been organizing these cleanups every month for over 3 years now! If you have not been to one now is the time to join us!!!
Just wanted to send out a reminder that tomorrow is the Edgewood Neighborhood monthly cleanup. The group meets in front of the Edgewood Rec Center at the corner of 3rd and Evarts NE at 10:30 a.m. The cleanup is sponsored by the Friends of Edgewood Recreation Center and occurs the first Saturday of every month same time and location. The group picks up trash around the neighborhood including the rec center and has a cookout afterwards.
This is a great way to meet your neighbors and show pride in our neighborhood!
If you cannot come try and cleanup around your block today or tomorrow morning so we can cover more areas!!!

Ward 5 Rhode Island Avenue Task Force Meeting November 30th 6:30 p.m.
Please see the message below which updates the agenda for the upcoming meeting on development of Rhode Island Avenue NE. There is now a component where Montel Williams will be there to talk about medical marijuana and I am not sure how that fits into the development. I guess we will find out.
Think Rhode Island Avenue!
Ward 5 Rhode Island Avenue Task Force meeting
With special guest presentation by Montel Williams
November 30, 2011
6:30 to 7:30 Task force meets
7:30 to 9:00 Special guest Montel Williams to discuss medical marijuana
Israel Baptist Church
1251 Saratoga Avenue, N.E.
Washington, D.C.
6:30 pm
What is the Rhode Island Avenue NE/ Task force?
Rhode Island Avenue, NE is a District of Columbia Government designated “Great Streets” corridor. The Great Streets Initiative is a multiple agency effort to transform under-invested corridors into thriving and inviting neighborhood centers using public actions and tools, as needed, to leverage new private investment.
This is an important and long-overlooked corridor that is well-positioned to gain in its importance and prominence to the District. Along with community leadership, property and business owners, residents, and other stakeholders, I invite you to take a significant step with us to implement plans for the commercial districts along the corridor.
Why is your involvement needed?
Rhode Island Avenue, NE has potential to provide new housing, jobs, and retail goods and services, which many in Woodridge, Langdon, Brookland, Edgewood and Brentwood may now buy in the surrounding counties. The Task force will provide strategic recommendations about how we use the great street study to capture a portion of the $1 billion in retail sales revenues (and jobs) lost each year to other jurisdictions. The Task force will help determine where the strategic opportunities are, and what is needed to lay the groundwork for new and sustainable investment using the four sub areas below as a blue print.
Four Sub-areas:
4th St to 10th
13th St to 16th
17th St to Kearny
Monroe to Eastern (low commercial - high residence)
Task Force plans to embrace organized groups and support their complimentary independent initiatives that will move a joint plan: Premier Community Development Corporation (PCDC), Friends of Rhode Island Avenue (FORIA), Greater Washington Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GWHCC), Rhode Island Avenue Business Council, and Ward 5 Business Council, community and business groups
Think Rhode Island Avenue.
7:30 pm
Special presentation and discussion from Montel Williams on medical marijuana as it relates to ward five
Sponsored by Councilmember Harry L. Thomas, Jr., Ward 5

Ward 5 Community Calendar
Please see this message from fellow Ward 5 resident about a calendar he created to help all of us keep track of the many meetings and events around our ward.
Dear friends and fellow Ward 5ers:
I was having a hard time keeping track of all the community meetings and events in Ward 5, so I thought I would try to help the situation by creating a community calendar:
http://ward5dc.org/
I've got it loaded with all the events I've seen come across the listservs I belong to, but there's a good chance I've missed some things. To submit events to the calendar, just email (or cc on your announcement) to calendar@ward5dc.org. I update it manually, so please forgive any delay in posting.
I'll continue to pull events from listservs as I see them, and I hope to get it set up so people can submit their own events without me having to do it, but for now this is the system I've got. (and I don't expect that people will immediately stop hitting all the ward listservs with event reminders, but hopefully over time that may become less necessary)
Please forward this on to other folks/listservs you know who might be interested. And if you've got suggestions or other thoughts, I'd love to hear them either here on my gmail or at calendar@ward5dc.org.
Thanks!
