The Village is starting a new activity for members to gather on a weekly basis for coffee and conversation at Emissary located at the corner of P and 21st Streets NW. The purpose is to bring us together on a very informal basis with no agenda or commitments. We will simply gather to have coffee and perhaps breakfast items that are offered by Emissary, to engage in conversation, and to get to know other Villagers. Emissary is a community-minded coffeehouse which has agreed to reserve space each Thursday morning of October for us. When you enter Emissary, simply order your coffee and/or food, pay for it at the counter, and join us. (No need to worry about splitting / figuring out a check!) If you order specialty coffee or food, Emissary’s staff will bring it to you. We will be trying this out for the month and hope that this will become a regular Village activity. Any questions, contact Bob McDonald at bobmcddc@gmail.com.
