[Book Your Classes by Clicking This Link! ](https://crowndancestudio.com/group-classes/) Break up your week with a burst of energy and social connection from **1:00 AM to 2:00 PM!** Our Wednesday daytime series focuses on Latin American rhythms styles, helping retirees and daytime learners build muscle memory and confidence. We provide personalized attention to ensure every student feels comfortable and successful on the floor while learning the Cha Cha, Rumba, & Swing.

This is one of our regularly occurring drop-in sessions. We need a minimum of 4 players for this event to occur. Curious about Dungeons & Dragons but never played before? Learn how to play classic Dungeons & Dragons with other newbies and go on perilous adventures in a dark fairytale world called Dolmenwood. This will be a beginner-oriented introductory session involving exploration, strange monsters, clever problem-solving, and some intrigue. You do not need to know the rules ahead of time and you do not need to bring anything, as I have dice, pencils, and premade character sheets for all players. Just show up, jump in, and see if it is your thing! This will be a one-off adventure, with potential to continue on if everyone is interested. I will send the exact location to you once you are signed up.

The next NoVABeerSec event - "Informal Gathering of Security Minds Over Beer" will be Wednesday, April 29th, 5:30PM til 7:30ish at Aslin Beer Company - Herndon Taproom (767 Elden St., Herndon VA 20170). **Venue for April:** Aslin Beer Company (https://www.aslinbeer.com) - Aslin Beer Co. was founded in 2015 by Andrew Kelley and Kai Leszkowicz. The name, Aslin, comes from the family that connected Andrew and Kai through marriage; they each married a daughter from the Aslin Family. Andrew’s professional background was in finance and consulting, while Kai worked in public service. They bonded over a shared interest of craft beer and home-brewing, which eventually lead to the idea that “We can do this too.” **Additional Info:** We are an inclusive group, so if we missed anyone please let us know or if you want to bring your significant other/spouse please do. We do know there are folks that have changed roles since we last met so please also let us know if we need to add new contact info for people. Have a great week and see you later this month! Cheers, Rinaldi Rampen & Mike McCabe of @NoVABeerSec

Join Sober Supper Club – DC for an intimate group dinner at Treehouse Rooftop, an elevated jungle sanctuary tucked into the vibrant Union Market neighborhood of Washington, DC. Perched five stories above the city, Treehouse Rooftop blooms as a lush oasis featuring internationally influenced food and imaginative drinks, all surrounded by cascading greenery within a beautiful historic building. The space organically sprouts from what was once the Bolgiano's Seed Company — now transformed into HOTEL NELL, a boutique hotel that honors the building's storied past while offering a warm, stylish escape full of flavor and character. Treehouse's menu brings together global influences and seasonal inspiration, with creative dishes and thoughtfully crafted beverages designed to be shared and savored. The atmosphere is intimate and transportive — a rare pocket of calm and greenery above the buzz of the city, perfect for slowing down and connecting over a memorable meal. This dinner is intentionally small to keep conversation easy and the experience relaxed. Our guests typically range from 25–45, and the evening is designed for people who enjoy thoughtful conversation, beautiful food, and a communal table built for a fun sober night in the city. **WHO:** You + 9 Other Guests **WHAT:** Intimate Group Dinner **WHEN:** Wedesday, April 29, 2026 · 7:00 - 9:00 PM **WHERE:** Treehouse Rooftop // 411 New York Ave. NE, Wash DC 20002 **COST:** $15/person — RSVP ONLY (guests responsible for cost of dinner) To purchase your ticket on our website instead, head here: [https://sobersupper.club/events/ssc-dc-mar-31](https://sobersupper.club/events/ssc-dc-mar-31)

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

Let’s meet, wander the exhibits and open galleries, and enjoy an evening out in the Franklinton Arts District. (Nearby pay parking is available in the garage on McDowell, right around the corner from One Line Coffee, and, past it along the curb as McDowell dead ends.)
