**\*Cross-posted to DMV Social 20s to 40s. You can RSVP to either event\*** Since Friday is a federal holiday, I'd expect that a bunch of us can meet up earlier and capitalize on Happy Hour a bit more, so let's meet up at Punchbowl Social. **We will aim to meet at the 2nd floor bar, I'll update the event day of in case we have to meet on the 3rd floor instead.** Once HH is over, we can keep on hanging out there, or take the party somewhere else nearby if we see fit! 🍔 **Food, Games & Vibes:** Punchbowl Social is a 3-floor bar and restaurant. The top floor has everything from arcades, to bowling, darts, and foosball. There's also a comfortable outdoor patio area if the weather's nice. Their happy hour menu (until 6:30pm) has select cocktails and beers for $5-6, and select bites and snacks ranging mostly around $5-8. The non-HH food and cocktail menus also have a wide selection to choose from.

America was founded on ideals such as freedom, equality, and justice—but what does it take to fully realize those ideals today? In this first discussion, we will explore Section I of *A Common Endeavor: Realizing the Promise of America*. Together, we will reflect on the nation's highest aspirations, the challenges posed by division and polarization, and the role that moral and spiritual principles can play in shaping a more just and united society. The discussion will consider questions such as: • What is the "promise of America"? • Why do so many people feel discouraged about the current state of society? • What role do values such as trustworthiness, integrity, courage, generosity, and love play in social progress? • How can we move beyond division while honoring our diverse experiences and perspectives? This gathering is intended to be a space for thoughtful reflection, respectful dialogue, and mutual learning. All viewpoints are welcome. **Suggested Reading:** [Section I](https://www.acommonendeavor.org/) https://www.acommonendeavor.org/

The South Fork of the Shenandoah is a flowing mountain river, in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, legendary for its canoeing excellence. Join us for two nights of camping at Golden Rock Campground at Compton Rapid (the prettiest spot on the river) and two days of paddling. We will drive to the campsite and spend Friday night there. The campground is primitive, which means no showers, no dedicated campsites, and lots of natural beauty. We will look out for eagles flying overhead or in their nests, and otters playing in the creek on the upper end of the campground. Next morning the Outfitter will shuttle us up the river to start our kayaking trip. After a fun day of paddling we will be back at the camp site to spend another night outdoors. We will wrap up our trip the next day with another 4 hours of paddling before we head back to our cars. Kayaks will be provided, but you would need to bring your own camping gear and meals including a tent, sleeping pad and a sleeping mat. **After you complete your registration on our website, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and event location.** There is limited space, so please register early. **Register and pay for this event on our website at this link**: https://washingtonwomenoutdoors.org/event-6658739 **Find out about WWO Member benefits at this link**: https://washingtonwomenoutdoors.org/Membership

(*Late Cancel applies after this, repeat occurrences can impact membership*) I’m reviving the “Under the Radar” dinner series, where we check out restaurants that may not always get the same level of mainstream attention but have built strong reputations with local diners. This event takes us to **Guerra Steakhouse** in Rosslyn, Arlington, created by two former kitchen employees from the legendary Ray's the Steaks, the once highly regarded value steakhouse that built a loyal following across the DC metro region before closing years ago. Guerra continues that approachable steakhouse philosophy with generous portions, strong execution, and pricing that compares favorably against many traditional DC-area steakhouses. **FOOD**: Guerra Steakhouse focuses on classic steakhouse fare with a Latin American influence. Recent diners consistently highlight the ribeye, filet mignon, skirt steak, and steak frites for strong flavor and solid value relative to the DC market. Seafood items and sides are also well reviewed, and several guests note that portions tend to be generous without pushing into overly formal steakhouse pricing territory. Vegetarians have some options on the menu, but it is a steakhouse. The menu supports a range of ordering styles, from lighter dinners with appetizers and drinks to more traditional steakhouse meals with sides and wine. Reviews frequently mention attentive service and good value for Rosslyn dining. Reviews frequently mention attentive service and good value for Rosslyn dining. Most members should expect to spend between 45 and 90 dollars for dinner and drinks after tax and tip, depending on ordering style and alcohol on ordering style & beverage participation. → **Explore Guerra Steakhouse's menu (pdf):** **[https://www.guerrasteakhouse.com/](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/61685c8159b81c42ad566c2a/t/698bcf93c7f47d661a191051/1770770323587/dinner.pdf)** **SPACE:** Comfortable and modern dining room with an upscale casual feel.
