Neighborhood Lunch
We planned the next Neighborhood Lunch to be on Friday, March 19 and we'll be going to Tavira. It's a Portugese restaurant in Chevy Chase Lakes at 8401 Connecticut Avenue. We went there once before and were treated royally so a return there sounds very nice! If you have dietary questions you can call 301-652-8684. Please let me know you're coming so I can make a reservation and they'll be all ready for us. We'll carpool as usual —

Happy New Year!!
Think about where we could go in February— there's a new place in Wheaton, the New Kam Fong. Mike and I tried it and it was good—and Tom Sietsema (Washington Post) really liked it— so there is a suggestion. As always, all are welcome! RSVP to Jean at hoytphoto@verizon.net or 301-949-7356

Watch out for our youngest neighbors!
More and more our kids are growing and running and learning to ride bikes. All of our babies in strollers have grown into fast kids on feet and peddles. As much as we may try to keep them in our yards, they occassionally chase balls and small creatures into our neighborhood streets. Please drive slowly and carefully through the neighborhood to keep all our youngest safe. Thanks!

Modern Capital's new Website
Many of us in the neighborhood enjoy Michael Shapiro's website at http://moderncapitaldc.com/ about everything mid-century modern, including Charles Goodman homes. Not only is Michael well informed, but he is a huge fan of all Goodman neighborhoods. He has been invaluable when RCW homes go up for sale. So far he lists them at no charge. Lots of modern stores, other homes and good articles are also on the site. You might find just the piece of furniture or accessory you are looking for. Check it out.
