VILLAGE NEWS

The members of the Maryland General Assembly are wrapping up the 2019 session and they’ve been quite busy. From prescription drugs to pre-existing conditions to the minimum wage to anti-pollution measures, the legislators tackled a wide range of issues since the session began in early January. Maryland State Senator Susan Lee will let us know what our lawmakers

have been doing in Annapolis and will review the major legislation affecting Village residents during a town meeting at the Village Center on Thursday, April 25, from 7 to 8 p.m. Please call the Vllage Center at 301-656-2797 if you plan to attend.

Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Betty Buckley stars in “Hello, Dolly!”—the universally acclaimed smash that NPR calls “the best show of the year!” Join us as we take in this delightful revival of the Broadway musical during its national tour on Thursday, June 6, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

We’ll depart from the Village Center at 6 p.m. and should return by 11 p.m. The musical follows the story of Dolly Gallagher Levi, a strong-willed matchmaker, as she travels to Yonkers, New York, to find a match for the miserly “well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder. The cost of the trip is $125, which includes an orchestra ticket, round-trip

This year will mark the Center’s 33rd year. We’ll feast on delicious barbeque and listen to great music from the David McLaughlin Band. Famous Dave’s will provide two different types of delicious barbeque – including chicken and beef – vegetarian beans, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, cornbread and rolls. We’ll have cupcakes from Clement’s Bakery for dessert.

A legislative update from Maryland State Senator Susan Lee

Staying sane in stressful political times Talking about politics can be stressful these days! How can we stay sane? Can we hold civil conversations? On Friday, April 12, at 1:30 p.m., Friendship Heights is contributing to National Conversation Week by holding one of hundreds of conversations taking place across the country. Psychologist Dr. David Sacks will talk about the challenges to civil discourse in our current, often

Village Council Election May 13The Friendship Heights Village Council election will be Monday, May 13.

were returned completed. A majority of responses came from owners. Of the surveys submitted, 44% were completed by residents age 75 or older, 30% came from the 60–74 age group, and only 5% from age 18–30. Over 86% of the respondents indicated they read our monthly newsletter, but about 7% said they did not have access to the newsletter. Most did not look at our website on a regular basis and did not visit or use our social media sites. The question about types of concerts residents would like offered at the Center elicited a range of responses. About 60% favored classical music as their first preference, followed by jazz, folk and pop music. On the question about movies at the Center, 56% favored dramas as their first preference, followed by comedies, romance, documentaries, thrillers and family movies. Next month we will provide some results on the open-ended questions that were posed in the survey (e.g., trips people would like to take, types of classes and speaker topics). Thanks again to all those who responded to the survey.

Metro Transit Police Captain addresses Village CouncilMetro Transit Police Department Captain Pete Sepulveda spoke at the March 11 Village Council meeting. Captain Sepulveda was invited to address concerns raised at the February 11 Council meeting regarding persistent loitering in the rotunda at the Friendship Heights Metro station. Captain Sepulveda indicated he would address the loitering concerns with the Transit Police officers covering the station. He also discussed staffing levelsand other security concerns they are dealing with throughout the Metro system.

A royal baby shower concert and community diaper drive We celebrated their marriage last May with a royal wedding watch. Now celebrate the arrival of Harry and Meghan’s first child with a special concert in honor of Meghan and all the mothers in Friendship Heights. Marsha and the Positrons will present a concert for mothers, with a selection of songs that the little ones will enjoy too, on Saturday, May 4, from 1 to 2 p.m., at the Village Center. We’ll have refreshments and crafts and, in honor of the royal couple’s commitment to community service, we’re holding a diaper drive to benefit the DC Diaper Bank. Drop off diapers at the Center—look for the stork in the lobby—anytime between April 15 and May 4. The DC Diaper Bank appreciates any diapers, but is always in need of larger sizes. Size 5 is its greatest need. Open packs of diapers are also accepted, but please label the packages with the size and number of diapers. Stop in for a great concert, make a Mother’s Day craft, send your special wishes to the newest royal, enjoy a sweet snack, and join our diaper drive to help babies in the D.C. area. The event is free, but please call the Village Center at 301-656-2797 if you plan to attend.

Their study involves art history and its different movements, such as: Impressionism, Post- Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Collage, Semi Abstract and Abstract. Mozaffari focuses on principles of design, and the viewer will enjoy the strong composition, harmony, balance and contrast this wide variety of paintings, including still life, landscape, figurative and abstract.

Does your child have an interest in art school? Want to learn more about admissions and financial aid? Families with creative middle and high school students are invited to a free workshop on Thursday, April 4, at 7 p.m., at the Village Center. This workshop was originally planned for February, but was rescheduled because of inclement weather. Representatives from ARTriculate, a college advisory service that focuses on applicants in the visual arts, performing arts and film, and Luminate Financial Planning will be on hand to discuss a number of issues related to college and the creative student. Among the topics are careers in visual arts; performing arts and digital media; finding “best fit” colleges; the differences between a BFA and a BA, a college of art and design/conservatory and a traditional liberal arts college/university; timelines for activities throughout high school, including summers; costs of college and the different financial terms you’ll hear—FAFSA, 529 Plans, Expected Family Contribution (EFC), Net Price Calculator (NPC), advertised cost, etc.; and ways to improve the application and financial planning. Please call the Village Center at 301-656-2797 if you plan to attend. This event is free.

Diabetes and your feet Diabetes is an increasingly common disease in the United States and around the world. The high blood sugar (glucose) that is characteristic of diabetes wreaks havoc on many different areas of the body, and it can have life- and limb-threatening complications if left untreated. Dr. Adam Isaac will give an overview of how diabetes affects the lower extremities, risk factors for foot ulcers and amputations, and tips for identifying problems early and avoiding complications during a Suburban Lecture on Wednesday, April 10, from 1 to 2 p.m., at the Village Center. Feet are very sensitive to the effects of diabetes. According to the 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet, more than 60 percent of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations occur in people who have diabetes. The good news is that blood sugar control and regular preventative care can significantly reduce the chances of diabetic complications. In fact, it is estimated that preventative foot care and

patient education can reduce a person’s chance of diabetic limb amputation by up to 85 percent. The lecture is free, but please call the Village Center at 301-656-2797 to let us know if you plan to attend.
