Ashley Upcoming Events​ Age in Place  Where: Seabury at Home First (2501 18th St., NE) When: Saturday, January 10, (9:00am - 12:00pm)  Metro: Rhode Island (Red) In 2015 we're excited to once again volunteer with Seabury at Home First for their Age-In-Place program, which provides basic home maintenance services, such as house cleaning and yard maintenance, to older adults living in DC's Wards 4 and 5. This amazing program allows the eldery to continue living independently in their homes with a little outside assistance from volunteers like us. Just like helping out at grandma and grandpa's house! For those of you using metro, Seabury provides a free pick-up/drop-off from the Rhode Island metro station - please indicate in your RSVP if you'd like to use this service. To RSVP, please email the Service Team at dcyp.service@gmail.com.  DCYP Meeting and New Member Meet & Greet  Where: Southeast Neighborhood Library (403 7th St SE)  When: Thursday, January 15, (6:30 - 8:30pm)  Metro: Eastern Market (Orange / Blue / Silver) Kick off the New Year and reconnect with DCYP at the January meeting and new member meet & greet! If your New Year's Resolutions include volunteering more often and saving more money, this meeting is for you! First, we'll give you the scoop on upcoming events and service projects, including ways you can get more involved. Have an idea for a new project or a fun social event? Input is more than welcome! Guest speaker and fellow Kiwanian Christopher Franklin will join us to share financial planning advice and savings strategies for young professionals. We'll also (in)formally recognize and welcome our newest members into the DCYP family!  New to DCYP and not a member yet? Now is the perfect time to join! We'd love to raise a toast to you at the New Member Meet & Greet following the meeting. Learn more and RSVP by contacting Amanda at dcyp.president@gmail.com.  Ice Skating at the Sculpture Garden  Where: National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden (7th St NW & Constitution Ave NW)  When: Wednesday, January 21, (6:45 - 8:30pm)  Metro: Smithsonian (Blue/Orange/Silver) or L'Enfant Plaza (Blue/Orange/Silver/Green/Yellow)  Now that the weather is getting colder, let's take advantage of some fun winter activities!

Volunteer with Loaves and Fishes *NEW* Where: St. Stephen's and the Incarnation Episcopal Church (1525 Newton St. NW)  When: Sunday, January 25, (10:30am - 1:30pm)  Metro: Columbia Heights (Green/Yellow)  Let's start the New Year off right and support one of our most beloved local organizations, Loaves & Fishes. DCYP Kiwanis has volunteered with this group for the past 5 years and we have always had an amazing time! The project is from 10:30am-1:30pm. The project coordinators are very prompt -- they start and end right on time. Our responsibilities will include: 1) Finalizing the meal, 2) Dishing food onto plates, 3) Serving and 4) Cleanup (dishes, tables, chairs, etc). Loaves and Fishes operates out of the kitchen in St. Stephen's and the Incarnation Episcopal Church at the intersection of 16th and Newton Streets, NW. It is only about a 7 minute walk from the Columbia Heights metro to the church. More information on Loaves & Fishes can be found here. Please email dcyp.service@gmail.com to RSVP and if you have questions.   Special Announcement: Street Sense Forum on Mental Health and Homelessness Tuesday, January 27, 6:30-8:30PM Join Street Sense January 27th for their latest forum and networking event, focused on Mental Health and Homelessness.  Each day, 1,800 DC residents are experiencing chronic homelessness. About 40% of those experiencing chronic homelessness and 30% of DC families experiencing homelessness also suffer from a serious mental disorder. Providing supportive housing is a necessary, effective, and economical way to treat serious mental disorders among these individuals and families.  RSVP here- http://ssmh.eventbrite.com. This event is free and open to the public (and will include light refreshments!).
