Lupo Verde Osteria presents authentic, rustic, Italian fare featuring a variety of small plates, house-made charcuteries, breads, cheeses and antipasti. Six house-made pastas, and six entrée selections including whole roasted fish and a premiere selection of meats. We will enjoy their bottomless brunch offering, with a 3 oz pour of a 2017 Ruinart Singulier and the 2018 Ruinart Singulier. The ticket price is inclusive of the food, Champagne, tax, tip, etc. You will be able to add anything else you desire on your own tab. Champagne Ruinart was one of the first champagne houses, established in 1729. It takes its name from the Benedictine monk Dom Ruinart, whose writings on Champagne were passed down through his family and resulted in the Maison Ruinart we know today. Dom Ruinart was born in Champagne in 1657, and died in 1709. He moved from his home to an abbey just outside of Paris, where he began to learn about the "wine with bubbles", which was very popular among the young aristocrats of the time. He believed it could be made best on the soils of his hometown. Upon his death in 1709, he left many books containing his writings on this to his nephew Nicolas Ruinart and, 20 years later, Maison Ruinart was founded. The Ruinart house was passed through the family for the next two centuries, during which time they were the first to ship rosé Champagne, as well as being the first to ship their bottles in wooden cases. From humble beginnings, the house now produces almost 2 million bottles a year and is currently owned by luxury brand superpower LVMH. The 2017 Singulier is only available at the Ruinart property in champagne, France. The cost of the event is $125 and all guests must prepay to reserve their seat. Once paid, no refunds will be given but you can have somebody else come in your place.

NoVA Furbowls & More is BACK with our first excursion since last summer: TOP GOLF! Top golf basically brings the thrill and approachability of bowling to golf with easy-to-hit clubs and several games to choose from. There are waiters who bring food to your bay so you can keep golfing while you wait for your food. PLEASE RSVP if you plan to attend because we need to reserve the bays in advance. We cannot guarantee that people who RSVP in the last 2 days will have a bay 🧸 FURSUITING: Allowed, but preferably just partials. I have fursuited here. Keep in mind golfing in suit is harder than bowling in suit, and that we probably won’t have a lot of space to keep totes. 💵 COST: -$12 for 2 hours of golf -$6 for account activation if it’s your first time You can pay either of these amounts in advance to Chester using his linktree: https://linktr.ee/chesterpup ⚠️ PLEASE put your furry/telegram name in your payment comment on whatever payment option you choose ESPECIALLY if your account is associated with a deadname so we don’t have to look for which payments belong to whom I’ll put the total on my card and send you an invoice for your food and drink plus 20% tip and 5% tax after the event. ⏰ SCHEDULE: 1:00 please arrive 1:30 golfing starts 3:30 topgolf ends, but people can continue playing with their own money Hope to see you there!

Sunday's forecast is wonderful and Spring is busting out all over! Let's take a walk around Old Town and check out some of the historic landmarks! ❶ **What we'll do**: * From the Capital Bikeshare on Diagonal Road across the street from the King Street Metro, we’ll walk counter-clockwise through Old Town Alexandria, passing many of the city’s historic landmarks. About halfway along we'll make a pit stop at the Torpedo Factory. * The walk is an easy 4 miles of smiles and should take about 2 hours. The surface is paved throughout, with inclines here and there and steps in places. * Google map: http://tinyurl.com/hoy5n96 ❷ **How to get there:** * Metro: King Street Station is on the Blue and Yellow Lines. * Driving: From I-395, take VA-7 / King Street east about 2.8 miles. Take the first right after passing under the railroad (Daingerfield Street), and an immediate right onto Diagonal Road. From US-1 / Richmond Highway, follow King Street west 0.5 miles, take a sharp left onto Daingerfield, and the first right onto Diagonal Road. Parking in the Metro parking lot is free, and there is free parallel parking in the area, especially along streets a block north of King Street and beyond. ❸ **What to bring:** Water, comfy shoes, and your furry friend if desired (leashes, please). ❹ **Weather:** The forecast is partly cloudy with a high of 83F, with 5-6 mph SSW winds and a 6% chance of showers as we start, falling off. Updates: [https://tinyurl.com/5yt8u45y](https://tinyurl.com/5yt8u45y) ❺ **Advisory:** As a reminder, this is an adult group, and you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and well-being during events.

**NOTE: This is NOT a screening, please watch the movie before the discussion.** *"They're organized, methodical. The first bite draws blood. The blood draws the pack."* Spring has sprung, and Lake Victoria has just been hit by a tidal wave of college kids ready to cut loose: a week of boats, booze, and boobs as far as the eye can see. It's the perfect setup for an unforgettable week... but not for the reasons these co-eds expect. An underwater tremor has just cracked the lakebed open, giving way to an ancient breeding ground. Thousands of primordial, razor-toothed piranha have been unleashed, and they're just *chomping at the bit* to join the party! Directed by Alexandre Aja, *Piranha* is an absolute splatterfest that embraces its B-movie roots with unapologetic enthusiasm. Packed with outrageous set pieces, a knowing sense of humor, and literal record-setting amounts of gore, the film transforms creature-feature carnage into pure midnight-movie spectacle — where the body count is high, the blood flows freely, and subtlety is left on the shore. *Piranha 3D* is streaming on Tubi.

Kenwood, a Chevy Chase neighborhood near Bethesda, has 1,200 cherry trees lining its streets, along with bevies of glorious gardens in this upscale area. Most of the trees will probably be blooming later this month but this will be a pleasant time to tromp the neighborhood before the throngs of spectators arrive to see those trees. Sunday will be cloudy and 71 degrees. This will be a pleasant hike throughout a tranquil suburban neighborhood with lots of stunning homes and architecture. ❶ **What we’ll do:** * From the Bethesda Metro Station Plaza (GPS 38.98465, -77.09471) we'll walk south along Wisconsin Ave to Bethesda Ave, turn right, and walk a block west. At the PAUL Cafe we'll turn left onto the Capital Crescent Trail and walk southwest to Dorset Ave, where we'll turn right to enter Kenwood.

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 185 is a true hidden gem in German Village! Seriously, old school, good comfort food and drink. We will try to gather in spaces near the windows. While we'll share Chip n Dip, you'll want to order a sandwich, too. **Where the Chip Began (1817)** Potato chips can be traced back to an English chef, William Kitchiner, who includes ‘crisps’ in his bestselling cookbook, “The Cook’s Oracle.” **Chip and Dip Popularity** The popularity of chip and dip skyrockets at the end of World War II with new entertainment fads and the introduction of Lipton’s new advertising campaign for their famous French Onion Dip. (Club 185 doesn't openly admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's their dip recipe!) **[Club 185](http://club185.com/)**—a true neighborhood bar serving since 1954, when it was known as a local 'speak-easy'. Located in German Village, Club 185 features a menu of quality casual comfort food and full bar. From politicians to lawyers, hardhats to hipsters—all find Club 185 the perfect place to tame their hunger and quench their thirst! **PARKING**: I know, brick street parallel parking can be a pain. Two other choices, metered parking along Livingston heading towards Children's Hospital or across the street in the large church lot (park in spaces farthest away from the church entrance doors, closer to the street). **PRE-EVENT**: **HAPPY HOUR (3-5pm)**: Italian drinks and bites at [Cento's happy hour](https://centogermanvillage.com/menus/), nearby.
