It's **3.3miles & flat; the beginning has DOWNED TREES**, some crouching/ hopping may be required, be sure not to *crash*. **Pace: 3mph.** The trek may feel like a *dash* since the distance appears *rash*, so please, no *backlash*. After frolicking through a forest with a *bash*, the hike circumnavigates the lustrous Lake where fish often *splash*. Protruding Roots along the way occasionally give the trail a *moustache*. Latter of the circuit proceeds over a FLOATING BRIDGE without *whiplash*, then lingers at a *stash* of lily pads; There's so many, could some ever *clash?* The trek concludes in a Pollinator Garden composed of a flowery *mishmash*. Residing Wildlife include birds and beavers, beware in case they *thrash*. During the hike, **bring some fictious *cash* (e.g. Monopoly money) for a group- photo *flash*!** Afterwards, stick around for a post-social Picnic, perhaps with some *succotash*?

### **Civil conversation. Diverse perspectives. Curiosity over persuasion.** We meet on the third Thursday every month at 6:30 pm at the Courtyard Marriott, Annapolis on Riva Rd. This group is for people who want to meet others outside their usual circles and have thoughtful, respectful conversations about current events, politics, culture, and related topics. The goal isn’t to debate or “win” an argument. It’s to hear different perspectives, understand how others think, and have civil conversations in a low-pressure, safe setting. People are welcome to talk or just listen. We will sometimes break into smaller groups depending on how many attend. The idea is inspired by political commentator, Michael Smerconish (POTUS on SiriusXM and CNN), who often talks about the importance of getting outside our information bubbles and engaging with people who don’t all think the same way. There aren’t many rules beyond being respectful and civil. I’m also new to the area, so part of this is simply about meeting people and building community. So far the group has been an even mix of men and women, varied ages (20's to 70's) and varied backgrounds. Some people are familiar with Smerconish, others found us through Meetup, which honestly makes the mix even better. Feel free to message me with any questions.

**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.** **This dinner in particular will be very special as we celebrate America's 250th birthday.

**✨ Join Us at Peter Chang in Herndon!** Join your DTs friends and family for dinner at Peter Chang, located at 2322 Silver Arrow Wy, Herndon, VA 20171. Peter Chang is known for bold, flavorful Szechuan cooking, but don’t let that scare you off — there are plenty of delicious options whether you like things mild, savory, crispy, rich, or a little adventurous. We’ll gather around the table for favorites like their famous soup dumplings, spectacular Scallion Bubble Pancake, Dry-Fried Eggplant, Mongolian beef, and whatever other flavorful dishes catch our eye. Every Thursday is a new flavor with DTs. Come find yours! [https://peterchangherndon.com/](https://peterchangherndon.com/) If possible, please RSVP on our Facebook or Meetup pages so we can let the restaurant know how many people to expect. Peter Chang is an extremely busy restaurant, so RSVPs are especially important for this dinner. We will do our best to have a few extra seats available for last-minute joiners, but it is not always easy to squeeze in additions once the table is set — and we don’t want to leave you sitting at the bar!

What's better than brunch? Brunch with the LGBTQ+ community, of course! Join the Dulles Triangles at 11:00 AM for a dazzling brunch at **[Amphora Diner](http://amphoragroup.com/amphoras-diner-deluxe/)**, located at **1151 Elden St, Herndon, VA 20170**. This is your chance to catch up with old pals, make some new ones, and bask in the glory of a Sunday well-brunched! Amphora’s menu is as diverse as our community, offering everything from omelets and pancakes to divine bakery treats. Seriously, their pastries are more irresistible than a shirtless Ryan Gosling holding a puppy! **RSVP Required!** Amphora needs a headcount beforehand, and adding seats at the last minute is like trying to squeeze into last year’s pride outfit—tricky! To ensure you get a seat at the brunch extravaganza, RSVP on Meetup or in the Dulles Triangles Facebook group by the day before. Those who RSVP get priority seating, and we promise not to judge if you show up in sequins. Remember to ask for Dulles Triangles when you arrive. Use the links below to RSVP and secure your spot faster than you can say "mimosas." This event is usually held on the first Sunday of each month, but check for updates because we like to keep things as flexible as our dance moves. Keep an eye on the current schedule so you don't miss out!
