Friend,

I'm excited to share that Ward 6 Week is back - beginning on Monday, July 17, and running through Sunday, July 23.?

For the uninitiated, Ward 6 Week is an annual tradition where my team and I organize a whole bunch of events spread across the dog days of summer to experience the fun and sometimes unknown parts of life in Ward 6. And best of all, every event is free. We try to find something that works for everyone and use this time as a way to slow down and get to know neighbors while enjoying different activities. Think of it almost like a staycation to get to know your neighborhood a little better with me!?

I'm really excited about the events we've got lined up. We're going to check out the latest exhibit at ARTECHOUSE, the annual summer exhibit at the National Building Museum, visit a splash park to cool off, jump into trivia on H Street, take in a Nationals game, host the first Capitol Hill-wide lemonade stand contest (!), and of course, we'll have multiple opportunities to enjoy some live outdoor music.?

So how do you get involved?

It's simple. RSVP. You can find the full event list here.

I will note, for a few events, we likely will have more people interested than tickets available. In order to play fair, we'll accept RSVPs until close of business on Monday, July 10. Then, if there's more demand than we have tickets, we'll hold a lottery to give them out. And my team will let you know if you've gotten a ticket. For all events, please RSVP. In the event we need to postpone an event (rain happens), this is how we'll communicate with you. So please, please, RSVP even if it's not a ticketed event.

For other events, the more the merrier, and I hope you can come to as many events as possible. Looking forward to seeing you!

Charles Allen
