Next week we have two great events on the calendar. First, our February happy hour will be next Thursday at Meridian Pint in Columbia Heights. Then, next Saturday spend your Valentine's Day morning with DCYP as we volunteer with CHEARS (Chesapeake Education, Arts and Research Society) for their Eco Stewards Discovery Day! 

See you tonight!

Calling all dog lovers! Can't have a dog of your own just yet? Well come help us volunteer with Mutt Love Rescue, a no kill shelter for dogs in the DC region. They host weekly adoption events at pet stores and need volunteers to be in charge of a dog for the afternoon, keeping it on leash and speaking with potential adopters about your dog. We'll arrive at 11:45 to get matched up with our dogs and wrap just after 3 pm. Because they bring as many dogs as possible and look to match one dog with one handler please plan to stay for the full event and if you need to cancel please let us know a few days in advance. We'll coordinate carpools for those using metro from the Viena metro station near the pet store. To sign up or ask any questions please email the Service Directors dcyp.service@gmail.com.
