  1. There was a good number of articles in the Washington Post Weekend section (4\28) regarding Nationals Park including local restaurants, bars and what you are able to bring in on your own. I am sure that you can find the information online.
  2. Just a side note. Nourish Now (based in Rockville) works with Levy Foods to recover all unused food from events at National's Park to distribute to local veteran's homes and homeless shelters. I am on the board of directors. Our annual fundraising gala will be at Avenel Country Club on June 10th.
  3. I am VP on the board for a non-profit addressing food insecurity through food recovery (nourishnow.org). One of our board members is co-owner of a catering company based in Montgomery County. I contacted her regarding your needs and she would be happy to contact you. Her name is Laura Calderone with Relish Catering (relishcateringdc.com). If you message me your contact information, I will have her contact you directly. Paul
  4. Our fundraiser on Friday was successful in that people enjoyed the experience and were able to learn more about providing food to families, veterans and seniors experiencing food insecurity. Although it was somewhat short circuited during the pandemic, food waste recovery will always be instrumental in achieving our goals. We thrive on volunteer participation. Whether it be a corporate teambuilding experience or an individual picking up food, you can do much more than you realize. Check out nourishnow.org We have now recovered over 15 million pounds of food that would have otherwise been wasted. Please contact me if you might be interested in helping. Paul Cell 301-717-7334
  5. I originally posted information about this event in the news and media forum although the events forum might be a better location. Our organization addresses food insecurity while also addressing food waste. The event will be Friday, November 4th at VisArts in Rockville Town Center. I am Vice President of their Board of Directors in a completely voluntary capacity. Please visit our website, nouishnow.org for more information. Thanks for your help. Paul Newman
  6. Our website now has the option of purchasing tickets for this event. Friday November 4th at VisArts in Rockville Town Center. As a major sponsor I do get some free tickets. Let me if you might be interested in attending. All contributes are appreciated. nourishnow.org
  7. We have have a fundraiser (suspended for 3 years) scheduled at Visarts in Rockville Town Center on 11/4. We concentrate on food recovery in order to provide families with the food that they need. Please check our website nourishnow.org We feed up to 2,000 families a week who are experiencing food insecurity in Montgomery County and the District of Columbia. The district is directed mostly to retired veterans and senior living facilities. Let me know if you might be interested in participating. I checked our website this morning and the event was not advertised but that will change later today. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Contact me directly if you have any questions. Paul Newman
  8. Don - I am the board of directors for an organization called Nourish Now. We provide food for families experiencing food insecurity. I am not sure where to post this, but we have families lined up to receive food. Anyone should look at the website nourishnow.org. Please delete this message if you think it is inappropriate. Thanks for whatever help that you and our members might be able to offer. Call me if you want more information as this is important. Paul Newman Cell 301-717-7334 --- [It's absolutely not inappropriate, and this is why I opened the website back up - we used to do stuff like this all the time. DR]
  9. Thanks for the update. My wife, Nancy, and I are in our early 60s and have been staying home (both retired). We might feel uncomfortable going out under current conditions.
  10. Just to let everyone know, unsold food at Nationals Park is donated to Nourish Now (nourishnow.org) following any event there. It is then distributed to families in need in the District as well as Montgomery and Prince George's counties. I am on the board of directors for this organization and would be happy to meet with anyone interested in furthering our cause to prevent food insecurity. In the meantime, stay safe and you and your family be well. Paul
  11. For real. We met at the bar of Grapeseed drinking half price bottles of excellent wine.
  12. My wife, Nancy, and I are in. We had initially met at a DR event closing Grapeseed in Bethesda. Why do our meetings have to be so bittersweet?
  13. Based on what I perceive as lukewarm interest, would propose that we plan for a spring event instead. It will give people more time to plan and we can make sure that we have more flexibility in choosing a date. Sorry that I thought about this too late in the game to really make it work.
