Upper West Side

We'll hold the evening option of *Suffs* at National Theatre on Sunday, June 21 at 7:30PM. I have 1 more Left Balcony ticket (F3) unsold for $69. The exchange period is over, so I need to sell that seat *before* I can add additional group tickets at these rates: * Side Orchestra: $132 * Center Mid-Mezzanine: $105 * Rear Mezzanine: $78 * Left Balcony: $69 For those who already paid me for a group ticket, I now have the mobile tickets and am starting to email them to folks. If you do not have a Ticketmaster account, you will need to meet me in the lobby before the show so I can pull up your mobile ticket on my phone for the usher. BEHIND EVERY POWERFUL WOMAN… ARE MORE POWERFUL WOMEN. Direct from Broadway, comes the acclaimed Tony Award®-winning musical *Suffs* about the brilliant, passionate, and funny American women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote. Created by Shaina Taub, the first woman to ever independently win Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score in the same season, this “thrilling, inspiring and dazzlingly entertaining” (*Variety*) new musical boldly explores the triumphs and failures of a struggle for equality that’s far from over. Winner of the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Musical.

We are NPS Weed Warriors and Arlington Regional Master Naturalists and you should volunteer with us on Sunday, May 17 to learn about nature and remove invasive plants from everyone's favorite urban island. Meet us at the entrance to the bridge (on the parking lot side, look for the sign) at 10:00 and bring your garden gloves and loppers/pruners if you have them. If not, we can provide gloves and tools. Wear long sleeves and pants and don't forget a water bottle. We will have tasks ranging from easy (cutting English ivy and honeysuckle vines from trees) to hard (sawing down bush honeysuckle). Parking at TRI can be tight if it's a pretty day. When the parking lot is full, you can park in Rosslyn and take the trail down. If you can bike or walk or take public transit, that's wonderful. We'll see you there! Erica, Stephanie, and Heidi P.S.

We will go left once we are on the island and walk the upland trail and finish up at the monument for a group photo. For those with swimmers we can follow up with a dip overlooking Georgetown at the point marked 10 on the cartoon map. I've got work to finish so no kayaking after party. I'll put a kayaking event on calendar for later not on the Potomac this year iykyk!
