Sunday Suppers

We have celebrated our Sunday Supper program since 2017. This year, as always, was focused on our community and meeting your neighbors. We also added the theme of JOY! Please enjoy these poems about JOY by local DC poets and the community poems that your neighbors wrote together at the events.

Community Poem 8/7

Joy! The happy beginning of everything.

Exclamation mark because life should be about exciting moments.

Sunrise over the harbor, tomatoes at the SW Farmers Market, and riding scooters for ice cream cones.

Enjoying a cherry red sunset over the Duck Pond and walking to yoga at the Wharf on Saturday mornings.

Be the JOY you want to see in the world!
