...Everything is happening in Dupont from spring gardens to attending in-person events and working with community leaders on issues we care about. Dupont is heading into spring with joy!

Thanks to all members who attended our year-in-review meeting. It was a pleasure to look back at the work and progress we made together this year. We are very happy to head into this membership year with two new Board Members - Justin Thornton and Patty Zweibel. We are always grateful to the hours and commitment of members to the DCCA's all volunteer board.

Our last membership meeting before Summer break will take place on Monday, June 6th. Along with our regular DCCA updates, Ward 2 Council Member Brooke Pinto will attend to talk about neighborhood issues and answer members questions.

Gardeners with little or a lot of experience are welcome. We suggest you dress in clothes that don't mind dirt. If you have them, please bring your gloves and -- if possible -- a shovel or small tools to help with the top layer of soil while navigating around plants (e.g., a hoe or small rake).

DCCA members have complained about trucks leaving their engines idling for long periods of time in our alleys. Now there is something you can do about it. The DC Department of Energy & Environment has initiated a pilot program to test the feasibility of expanding opportunities for DC residents to help improve air quality. The procedure for reporting excessive idling is described here and requires the DC311 Mobile App.

The DC Office of Campaign Finance is holding a series of debates for the upcoming election via online streaming. They will be recorded and remain online for the rest of the calendar year.
