The FB Sculpture Exhibit continues to attract visitors. FOX 5 returned to FB last Thursday with Sarah Simmons who did three segments of interviews with sculptors Nancy Frankel, Craig Kraft, Paula Stone and Seth Goldstein, curator Shirley Koller; the exhibit Co-Directors, Jill Nevius and Mary Kay Shaw; and Peter Maggs and Cleveland Page, sculpture site property owners. As Mary Kay Shaw shared, the exhibit can be toured by map (available from the brochure dispensers at each of the sculpture sites). The map also provides instructions for listening by cell phone of sculpture descriptions by the artist.
Over the past five years, with the help of supporters and volunteers we have installed flower barrels in the historic district, enhanced many of the tree boxes along K Street, planted trees, brushes, and flowers along the 26th Street Park, and enhanced the triangle across from the 7-11. If you would like to volunteer, help us water plants, or make a financial donation, please call Ken Durham on 202-338-2471, send an email to kdurham@ gmail.com or send a check to K Durham, 909 26th Street NW and make it out to the Foggy Bottom Association. All donations are tax deductible.-

FBA Organizing Neighborhood Watch Program
Dear Neighbors,
The Foggy Bottom Association is starting a program in our neighborhood for the protection of our homes, our property, our children, and our community. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the program and to invite you to our first meeting which will be held at the conclusion of the FBA Annual Meeting June 29 at St. Stephen’s Martyr Church, Parish Hall.
The program we are organizing is part of the nationwide Neighborhood Watch program. The goal is not only to prevent crime, but also to enhance the partnerships and cooperation within our community.
Our goal is to have as many people as possible actively participate in order to have the most effective response, and allow the community to come together as a whole. There is room for everyone in Neighborhood Watch. Participants of all ages will receive instruction on how they can participate in the improvement of our neighborhood.
Neighborhood Watch is designed to create a safer environment for you and your property. It has the enthusiastic support of the Metropolitan Police Department as well as other members of the Government of the District of Columbia. This program is strictly on a volunteer basis and will be at no-expense to you. You only have opportunities to gain.
For your efforts, you and our fellow neighbors will be rewarded with a safer, cleaner, better prepared, and more secure neighborhood in which to live.
I hope to see you at the upcoming meeting on June 29 at Parish Hall in St. Stephen’s on 25th Street adjacent to Pennsylvania Avenue. If you have any questions or are unable to attend the meeting, but are still interested in participating you can contact me at foggybottomvp@gmail.com or at (202) 503-9183.
Sincerely yours,
Lev Trubkovich
Vice-President, Foggy Bottom Association
