No mechanical experience is necessary. Note: The warehouse location is in the alley behind 1502 Mt Vernon Ave. Enter through the gray door next to a roll-down garage door.

Volunteers under 16 need a parent or guardian to accompany them at all times while volunteering with Vélocity.

Ted Garber is a genre-bending multi-instrumentalist whose “BluesAmericanaRock” combines classic showmanship with a captivating singer-songwriter sensibility. His smokey, bluesy vocals, howling harmonica riffs and screaming guitar licks take us on a diverse musical journey from the Big Apple to the Big Easy, hovering in the Mississippi Delta before heading South of the Border. This is part of Montgomery County Parks Acoustics and Ale series. Bring a chair.

They have released nine studio albums, including their classic debut Mass Romantic and their latest 2023’s Continue as a Guest, which marked their debut for Merge Records. They’ve constantly offered new sonic surprises with every album, and have established themselves alongside modern luminaries like Yo La Tengo and Superchunk when it comes to their ability to evolve while still retaining what made them so special in the first place. Of the newest record, New York Magazine lauded, “The New Pornographers are a massive unit bursting with unique and intersecting talents…the band’s ninth album serves another helping of their signature dish.” The band's new single "Ballad of the Last Payphone" is out now with a new full-length album slated for release in 2026 – more details to come. Critical acclaim for The New Pornographers: “Over the course of their 20-plus-year career, the New Pornographers have often specialized in catchy ambiguity. If leader Carl Newman was just a machine cranking out power-pop tunes, it would get boring. But there’s also a lot of mixed emotions going on under the surface of their studiously nuanced pop-rock formalism—like if Cheap Trick was as quick-witted as Steely Dan, or the Romantics were as thoughtful as R.E.M.” - Rolling Stone “Pure, blissfully irresistible power pop” - NPR Music “[The New Pornographers] make catchy, sophisticated alternate-universe hits.” - Stereogum"

We're hosting a clothing swap this month. A clothing swap is a sustainable, cost-effective event where people exchange gently used clothing and accessories, refreshing their wardrobes without spending money or creating textile waste. Participants bring clean, unwanted items and take home "new-to-them" pieces contributed by others, acting as a social and eco-friendly alternative to shopping. This is NOT a donation event - please don't bring clothes for dropoff. You should bring a few items with the intent of taking home other items. All sizes welcome. Bring your parents and let's swap some clothes! Location will be shared upon registration.

Hi everyone! We're finally ready to introduce our little girl!. Let's do a relaxed picnic at the Netherlands Carillon. Bring a blanket and some snacks or lunch for yourselves, plus your little ones if you have them. We'll find a shady spot and just hang out, no agenda, come and go as nap times allow. Babies, toddlers, and partners all welcome. Heads up that this is weather dependent. If it's looking rainy or too hot, we'll post an update here the morning of. Parking is available near the Iwo Jima Memorial. Can't wait to see everyone and have her finally meet the group that's been part of this journey with us!

Hello! For May, we're in Maryland for a nice lunch buffet. See the menu here: https://assets.peblla.net/17327851650786d5d46c3f3934f6d81acf9a1aaf79f06.pdf There is a parking lot. Alternatively, you can walk from the Twinbrook stop on the Red Line. A couple of disclaimers: this is not a "meet market." Many of us desire to become DINKs at some point, while others do not; let's not assume the former for anyone. In the spirit of the overall group, this is inclusive in that regard. But please just come with the intent to have fun and connect with other CFs, not to hook up or partner up. If it happens naturally, awesome. But please don't have that goal in mind. You can bring a guest provided they're single and childfree. If something comes up and you can't make it, please switch your RSVP to "no" by Friday, 5/22 at 5 p.m. That said, if you've repeatedly signed up and then switched your RSVP to "no," I reserve the right to move you to the waitlist if we have enough people wanting to go. Reservations are limited to ten; if anybody wants to make their own reservation so we can have more, let me know, and I'll increase the size.

Enjoy a relaxed walk aroundthe beautiful **Green Springs Garden**! Take in the fresh air, vibrant blooms, and peaceful surroundings while connecting with others. A perfect way to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
