++++++++++++++++++++++++
**For those new or haven't been in awhile, here is some basic information about our meetup:**
1. **Know How to Play the Game**: Every member of the Alexandria Euchre Club must know how to play the game of Euchre to attend a meetup. If you know the game, but it has been years since you've played, that is fine as we've all been there and will be patient while it comes flooding back to you.
2. **New To The Group:** If you have never been, we are a friendly group and welcome everyone to come. Very few people come with a friend or spouse. What this means is that it will not be awkward to arrive alone. It is better than a happy hour because it is easy to make conversation about cards. You don't have to even ask the dreaded "what do you do?" question. If you come three times, you are a regular. Also, house rules are that we play stick the dealer (ask if you don't know this variation).
3. **Correct Table Count:** Euchre is a 4 person game--yes, I know there are 3 and 6 person variations, but most people prefer the 4 person game. What this means is that if you sign-up, we are counting on you to be there. The deadline for RSVP is 2 days prior to the meet-up. Please update by that time, especially if you are going to cancel your RSVP. If you get 3 "no shows" and you'll only be able to sign up via an organizer.
4. **The Waiting List:** If this month is like the previous months, we will have a waiting list. Please be considerate and honor your RSVP. Of course, if you are sick and on death's door we don't want you to come out and get the rest of us sick; however, if not please do come play. A good evening of food, drink, cards, and friendship may be all that you need to be more productive the next day. If you are on the waiting list I am expecting you to either remove yourself if you don't want to be considered for an open slot, or check the site (or email) so you know you've been promoted to an RSVP of YES when a slot opens up.
5. **Costs:** There are some costs associated with meetup -- I have to pay Meetup every 6 months for listing on their website. They don't work off of advertising fees. We pass the bowl around and ask people to throw a $1 in each time they come.
Thanks everyone... looking forward to seeing ya !!

The Chef's Endless Table at Yunnan by Potomac!
Join us for the Chef's Endless Table for a taste Yunnan cuisine at ***Yunnan by Potomac!***
**FROM THE RESTAURANT:**
$49 / guest
2 hour limit
Whole table participation required
One Selection per section, per person, per round of ordering
Takeaway containers for leftover food not provided
Preventable food waste charged at a la carte pricing
The province of Yunnan is a beautiful diverse region in southwest China, offering a variety of unique flavors and textures in its distinctive cuisine â not your typical Chinese food. The soul food of Yunnan is mixian - a slippery, light and almost fluffy rice noodle - which is prepared with braised meats, rich broths, pickled vegetables, and sweet, savory and spicy sauces.
As mixian is the bedrock of Yunnan cuisine, at Yunnan By Potomac, mixian noodle bowls are at the core of our menu and are complimented by a variety of reimagined and seasonally inspired xiaochi small plates, bao buns, jiaozi dumplings, shaokao barbecue, tiandian sweets, and large format Family Feasts.
***From Washington Post:***
The restaurant is one of the precious few outlets serving Yunnan cuisine in the metro area and the first one I recall that doesnât hedge its bets by also offering up orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and other staples of the Chinese-American cookbook. That fact, all by itself, makes Yunnan by Potomac something of a Shangri-La in the DMV.
We tend to think of moderation as this sweet spot between excess and self-denial. But there are times when I think moderation is something more complicated, like an ability to moderate your expectations of others, including those serving a cuisine still relatively new to Washington. Yunnan by Potomac asks you to revel in a bowl of noodles, without burdening it with the expectations of something that itâs not. Yunnan cuisine is not Sichuan cuisine, and itâs not Dai cuisine â the latter with ties to the flamethrowing traditions of northern Thailand â even though Yunnan cooking may incorporate elements of both.
At Yunnan by Potomac, mixian (roughly pronounced âme-she-yenâ) is the slippery base for bowls, some dry and some swimming in house-made broths, all requiring a vigorous stir before you dig in. Until you learn the particular alchemy of Liâs kitchen â led, incidentally, by her daughter-in-law, Jia Cui â you might take one look at the colorful bowls and think they will explode on contact with the tongue. Several combinations, including the pork-forward Little Pot Mixian and the chicken-heavy Grandma Parou Mixian, find red chile oil floating on the surface, almost ready to burst into flames. But these bowls are built for comfort, not destruction.
In fact, if thereâs a trait common to the three broth-based mixians, itâs this: The soft noodles tend to be bashful. They frequently refuse to pick up the other ingredients, which mingle and concentrate at the base of the bowl. Your wooden spoon then becomes your friend. Youâll need it to suck down the bottom-dwelling broths, where the pickled mustard stems will really start to pop and the chile oil will finally ignite. The noodles in the drier preparations exhibit no such shyness, boldly flirting with every ingredient in sight. The Liang Mixian Salad is the single finest dish in the house, its black vinegar, chile oil and sweet Chinese soy illuminating the rest of the bowl-mates.
The small-plates menu, including a separate one for seasonal bites, has a few dishes that will impress you with their simplicity. The clean, watery crunch of sliced cucumbers is offset with a savory swirl of sweet soybean paste cut with chile vinegar, the combination totally irresistible. A small plate of shredded Asian pear and pickled radish, both invigorated with lemon juice and zest, pops with tartness and sweetness in equal measures, a Chinese lemonade that you eat with chopsticks.

**WAITLIST:**
Meetup does not allow a waitlist for paid events. If this event fills and you are interested in adding your name to the waitlist, please send host a message through the app.
To enhance the opportunity for great conversation, we would like to keep the group small. Please feel free to sign-up to meet us along with up to 2 friends.
In the future, we will vary the days of the week, geography and the cost of restaurants so that we can attract many different types of diners.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMMITTED TO GO WHEN YOU RSVP FOR THIS EVENT. In the event our group incurs a fee for no-shows / late cancellations, your ability to RSVP for future events will be restricted. Thank you in advance for your understanding.Feel free to make suggestions for future meet locations. All diners will have their own tab to avoid any confusion.
\*\* The small non-refundable registration fee helps us share the cost associated with Meetup platform ($360/year) and reduces the likelihood of no-shows, allowing us to better plan our events and accommodate attendees. Thank you in advance for your understanding!\*\*
If you are unable to join us in February, we hope you'll stay interested and join us for a meal in the future. Looking forward to seeing you at Yunnan by Potomac!

Next Piano Meeting: Saturday, February 28, 2026 at Paul's House
Hello piano players:
I hope you can attend our next meeting â it will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 1 â 5 pm at my house, 5612 Cromwell Drive, Bethesda, MD 20816.
I will open the doors at 12:30 if you would like to warm up on the piano. I would like to start at 1:00 pm so please show up a few minutes early.
Also, reach out to a friend and work up a duet â they are fun and always welcome. In the past we have had duets with two pianos, with singers, and with the clarinet, and they bring a nice variety of music to our meetings.
We will have snacks, finger food, light drinks, beer and wine, but your donations of food and drink are always welcome. Parking is on the street near my house.
I hope to see you on February 28th.
All the best,
Paul Connor
VSDC Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group
Please join the [Veg Society of DC](vsdc.org) Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group for another great discussion.
We are excited to round out our discussion about theories of change in the animals rights movement with a speaker who has been leading the charge on the ballot initiative to prohibit the sale of foie gras in D.C. We will have a chance to apply theory to practice by understanding how this and other ballot initiatives can create change for animals. Please join us for what we hope will be an inspiring and interesting discussion! We will grab a bite to eat at a DC Vegan afterwards.
*What is the Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group?*
If youâve been looking for a way to educate yourself on animal rights and issues affecting animals in our world today with the support of a like-minded community, then this group is for you. The VSDC Animal Rights Discussion and Education Group will discuss thoughts, questions, concerns, and news related to animal rights. It seeks to provide a safe space for discussions around issues affecting captive animals, farmed animals, animals used in research, wild animals, companion animals, and more.
All are welcome, from those well-versed in animal rights philosophy and issues to those who are just starting off on their journey and are curious to learn more. Please come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to engage with diverse opinions with curiosity and respect.
The plan is for the group to meet every month, alternating between Zoom and in person. The topic of each meeting and any accompanying materials will be planned in advance and posted in event announcements via this VSDC meetup group. Participants are encouraged to offer topic ideas and materials for discussion at subsequent meetings.
**Date / Time:** Saturday, February 28th, from 4:15 to 5:45 pm (followed by dinner)
**Location:** Pea Street Yoga (just above DC Vegan)
