Please just be sure to RSVP so we know to text you our exact location. Also, remember that early bird tickets are now available for our much-anticipated Annual DCYP Evening at the Gallery! This year's reception, celebrating our decade of service, is taking place at NOMA's hip new Gallery NK on Saturday, April 18. Purchase your tickets online now ($40) or at any DCYP event for $35. Ashley Upcoming Events​ Blossom Kite Festival  Where: Washington Monument Grounds (Constitution Ave & 17th St NW) When: Saturday, March 28, (12:00 - 3:00pm)  Metro: Smithsonian (Orange / Blue)  Let's celebrate the turn of the seasons at the Blossom Kite Festival, part of DC's Cherry Blossom Festival activities! The Blossom Kite Festival soars into spring and kicks off the kite flying season with five areas to explore and enjoy: the Competition & Demonstration Field, Family Field, Kite Club Display Area, Activity Tents, and Public Field. See the creativity of kite makers and skill of kite fliers from across the US and internationally through competitions and demonstrations – including the popular Hot Tricks Showdown and the Rokkaku Battle! Open kite flying is welcome on the Public Field. UPDATE: We're planning to have a picnic for everyone who attends, so please bring something to snack on that you can share with the group. Since the mall can get pretty packed for the event, we'll plan to meet at the metro (Smithsonian, on the side near the "castle") around noon and then head over to find a spot together. If anyone wants to meet us later, that's totally fine! Please RSVP by emailing Carly at dcyp.social@gmail.com so we can send you a text with our location once we find a spot.

Our club is celebrating its 10 year anniversary at our Evening at the Gallery event in April, so we will be celebrating with a special trivia challenge during this happy hour and taking a look back at notable events from the past decade. Bring your thinking cap (if you can fit it on top of your spiked, blonde-tipped hair), share your excitement on your AIM Buddy Profile, and get ready for a great time! You'll also get a chance to pick up reduced-price tickets ($35) for our annual DCYP Evening at the Gallery, as well as details on upcoming service projects. When you arrive at Hill Country, just ask the host for DCYP Kiwanis and look for the red balloon! SPECIAL EVENT:  *NEW* DCYP Evening at the Gallery Early-bird tickets on sale now!
