Beat the New Year's Blues at Cleveland Park Library

Hello! Happy New Year!

Chase away the winter blahs and beat the New Year's blues with the company of your fellow autists at Cleveland Park Library! Located at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW in Washington, DC, this library is in a safe and thriving neighborhood just two blocks from the Cleveland Park Metro on the Red Line.

Bringing games is optional.

We'll be meeting in the large second-floor conference room.

HOUSEKEEPING RULES

Per library policy, eating is prohibited, but covered drinks are permitted.

Per fire code, only 20 RSVPs are allowed. If the list gets to 20, additional RSVPs will move to the waitlist.

Please do not take pictures of people without permission.

Due to space and liability concerns, people under 18 are not permitted.

AFTER MEETUP

On the waitlist? Don't worry! You are welcome to join us at Fat Pete's afterwards. It is located at 3407 Connecticut Ave. NW, just across the street and a block over from the library. The owner has made an arrangement where I call him and let him know we're coming over. He then tells me if the place is quiet or noisy. This way, sensory sensitivities are met. The place also has a wide variety of extremely good food and is handicapped-accessible.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Since this is the middle of winter, I will keep an eye on the weather. If there are ice/sleet/snow accumulation/winter mix, I am cancelling the event.

I am also testing for COVID the morning of the event. Yes, it's still here. If I am well and test negative, I'll be there. If I am sick and/or test positive, I'm staying home. I'm sharing the results in either case.

HOW TO GET THERE

DC is notoriously hard to drive in. Parking is even worse - almost impossible to find and way too expensive. Taking the Metro or a rideshare is much easier.

Cleveland Park Library is located at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW two blocks away from Cleveland Park Metro on the Red Line. Once you enter the library, go to the second floor. Then go through the glass double doors to the adult books section. We're meeting in the large conference room next to the balcony.

If you have trouble finding us, please call or text me at 202-802-3238.

See you soon,

Jenny
