Movie Nights at Marie Reed Field with PTA - May 20, June 10 and June 24th

The first movie of Adams Morgan Movie Nights was a huge success thanks to overwhelming support from the community.  Over 400 people were in attendance and we overheard more than a few comments about the new field at Marie Reed being one of the best outdoor movie venues in the city!

Our next screening is Tuesday June 10th with “All the President’s Men,” (#77 on AFI’s  list of 100 greatest films of all time)  followed by Wes Anderson’s “Rushmore” (“a particular treat for its skewed, hilarious memories of a cutthroat boyhood" -- NYT) on Tuesday June 24th.

Please take a moment to share this info with friends and family or direct them to adamsmorganmovienights.com. Anyone interested in volunteering, helping to promote the series, or identifying sponsors may contact us via the website (where supporters may contribute too) or by contacting the Adams Morgan Partnership BID. Again, thank you for helping to make this celebration of film a great community event for Adams Morgan.

Tuesday, June 10th at dusk : All the President’s Men - “Reporters Woodward and Bernstein uncover the details of the Watergate scandal that leads to President Nixon’s resignation.”

Tuesday, June 24th at dusk : Rushmore - “The king of Rushmore prep school is put on academic probation.”

The Adams Morgan Partnership BID is organizing this series along with the Marie Reed Elementary School Parent Teacher Association, which will be selling refreshments at the event to raise funds for the school.

There will be FREE bike valet available each night. City Bikes will help out on June 10 and 24th. Local favorites Pleasant Pops will be selling their eclectic (and delicious) homemade popsicles on site, and the Marie H. Reed Elementary School PTA will have popcorn, candy and cold drinks available.

Limited edition screen-printed tote bags containing deals and gifts from Adams Morgan businesses will be handed out to the first 150 attendees each night by City Paper Readers Poll “Best of DC” winners Meeps so get there early!

goDCgo FREE Seminar on Transportation and Health for DC employers

Learn How Transportation Can Play a Role in Your Organization’s Health & Wellness Initiatives

Organizations that support workplace health have a greater percentage of employees at work every day. Encouraging employees to incorporate active transportation such as walking or biking into their commute, workday and general travel is a great way to reap the benefits of more engaged, thriving employees.

Today, employee wellness is a core business strategy where a healthy workforce is contributing to enhanced productivity, decreased employee absenteeism and lower health insurance costs. Join us over breakfast at Kaiser Permanente’s Center for Total Health to find out how your organization can better incorporate active transportation programs into your employees’ lives.

At our FREE seminar, you’ll learn more about:

• Innovative ways to encourage employees to participate in your wellness programs
• The role of active transportation in creating and maintaining a healthy workforce
• Best practices from employers who are creating a healthier workforce by encouraging active transportation initiatives

When:
Thursday, June 19
9:30 - 11:30AM
