--I hope everyone is ready for the summer. Below are some events I wanted to inform you about. Take note of DC Flag Day on June 14th. We will be joining a lot of energetic people in Dupont Circle; stop by and get a free instant photo with the DC Flag. Also, if you have time, come and join us at the Capital Pride Parade, we have teamed up with the nonprofit Angie’s Foundation for this event, https://www.facebook.com/FoundationAngieOfficial.
And if you missed the historical street naming for Ms. Sonia Gutierrez, founder of the Carlos Rosario Public Charter School last Friday, June 5th, be sure to visit: http://dcireporter.com/sonia-gutierrez-campus-way/ to see the entire video of program and plenty of photos. I hope to see some of you this weekend!
Thank you.
