E Street Cinema

555 11th Street NW

COUNTDOWN TO ZERO traces the history of the atomic bomb from its origins to the present state
of global affairs: nine nations possessing nuclear weapons capabilities with others racing to join them,
with the world held in a delicate balance that could be shattered by an act of terrorism, failed
diplomacy, or a simple accident. Written and directed by Lucy Walker (The Devil's Playground,
Blindsight), the film features an array of important international statesmen, including President Jimmy
Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pervez Musharraf and Tony Blair. It makes a compelling case for
worldwide nuclear disarmament, an issue more topical than ever with the Obama administration
working to revive this goal today. The film was produced by Academy Award® winner and current
nominee Lawrence Bender ( Inglourious Basterds, An Inconvenient Truth) and developed, financed
and executive produced by Participant Media, together with World Security Institute.

Tickets are free but limited. Please book your tickets online at www.wndc.eventbrite.com

DMZ to DC
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Korean War.
60 years later, the Korean War is not over, and Korea is still divided.

In 1945, two U.S. colonels in Washington, D.C. divided the Korean peninsula along the 38th parallel. This
arbitrary divide soon became a border and military frontline before and during the Korean War. An Armistice
temporarily ceased fighting on the Korean peninsula and established the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) along the
38th parallel. A peace treaty was never signed, and to this day, Korea remains in a state of war.

The National Campaign to End the Korean War is bringing the DMZ back to Washington, D.C. Join us for a
series of events that show how we continue to be affected by the division and demand the U.S. government end
the Korean War by signing a peace treaty.

SUNDAY, JULY 25, 2:00-4:00 p.m.

This interactive art installation in front of the Capitol will feature 100 bojagi (traditional Korean bundles carried

the Korean War. The bojagi represent millions of Korean families who are still separated by the division.
Next Tuesday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Mona Sutphen will discuss the New START
treaty and talk about why young people should get engaged on nuclear weapons issues. Joining
her will be two young experts on these issues, Max Bergmann and Alexandra Bell. Join us at
Busboys and Poets on 14th Street in Washington, D.C.

Be sure to forward the invitation below to your friends.


Light refreshments will be provided so please RSVP for the event.

With no ticket income to offset production costs, STC


relies solely on contributions to cover the cost of this impactful community
outreach program. Even with corporate and foundation support, STC needs to
raise more than $200,000 to make Free For All possible.

We invite you to become a Friend of Free For All&#8212one of hundreds of


individuals who generously donate to underwrite Free For All each year. Your
contribution will not only make this year's production possible, but will also
support Students for Shakespeare, making this Shakespeare production
accessible to nearly 2,000 local public school children.

In appreciation for your support, you will receive exclusive benefits as a Friend.
These include:

 Reserved tickets (avoid the line!),


 The option to have tickets mailed in advance,
 Access to the Patrons Lounge in Sidney Harman Hall,
 Program recognition, and more.

View All Benefits

At the 2009 Free For All, lines for ticket distribution literally circled the block
and every performance was filled to capacity. In 2010, we expect nothing less
for Twelfth Night, the Helen Hayes Award winner for Outstanding Play and one
of the most successful productions in STC's history, with stunning costumes, a
spectacular set and an outstanding cast. Be sure to secure your tickets
now&#8212while making free Shakespeare possible for more than 16,000
people.

To become a Friend of Free For All and make this summer's staging of
Twelfth Night possible, simply visit ShakespeareTheatre.org/FOFFA or
call us at 202.547.1122, option 7.

National Harbor, MD 20745

Malagueta is a fusion of culture, folkloric tales and legends colorfully rendered and set in voluptuous, airy atmospheres
inspired primarily by the artists Brazilian heritage.
Sketching Session with live model 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Latin Fusion Band performance starts at 9:00 p.m.

Continuing with the amazing night of sketching of the last show we are pleased to announce we will be having sketching
sessions for all our shows! The sketching session is free. We will have 15 special edition blank sketchbooks for sale at the
show as well but you are welcome to bring your own sketchbook.

The event is free and open to the public.


Tatiana Suarez (b. 1983) is a Brooklyn-based Miami native. This emerging artist is an alumni of the University of Miami's
Graphic Design program, and also works as a freelance illustrator. Her charming style is distinctive -- first, the trademark
eyes that draw the viewer into a beautiful and surreal world. Suarez takes full advantage of the oil paint's ability to create
creamy, soft images on canvas. Rich with symbols that stem from her Brazilian and El Salvadorian heritage, subjects
appear as if they are under water, frozen in lovely stillness. The doe-eyed figures look childlike, but also exude sexual
overtones, ornamented with plants, insects and other unsettling accompaniments. Beauty is presented concurrently with
exotic -- even creepy -- creatures to create enchanted narratives.

Every artist has a definition of source; all little pools of the personal that seek to flow
towards a larger body; to somehow return to an undifferentiated unity from which the
familiar can resonate. Source can be one that creates; a maker, or that which supplies
information; a source code. Source can be a point at which substance springs into being or
the energy input point of a system. Nature as refuge from the artificial constructs of
civilization is always present as source. It is from a natural source that humanity has
diversified creating competition and inventing technologies that have brought with them
global problems of massive proportions.

Pat Goslee lives and works in Washington, DC. She received a BFA in graphic design from the
University of Georgia and an MFA in painting from Catholic University. She has served on the
Board of Directors for the Washington Arts Museum (WAM) and the DC Arts Center (DCAC), and
the Advisory Committee for International Arts & Artists' Hillyer Art Space. She has been a visiting
artist lecturer at local institutions including American University and the Corcoran Collage of Art
+ Design.

Funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, an agency supported in part by the
National Endowment for the Arts.

Summer Nights: Fort Reno Concerts


Where can you find hordes of unrestrained, dancing teenagers, hipster toddlers and dogs, and music-fanatic
families and friends restraining dogs and toddlers while dodging unrestrained, dancing teenagers? Try the eclectic
crowd at the Fort Reno concert series.

Expect the best of D.C.'s hardcore rawk, punk and any-kind-of-indie music scene in these twice-weekly concerts,
which run through mid-August. It's a great way to discover local bands (including Tereu Tereu, pictured), eat a
picnic spread (sans wine — the park doesn't allow booze) or simply lie back and people-watch.

Shows are 7:00-9:30 p.m.

Chesapeake and Nebraska Avenues NW (Tenleytown)

Photographs of the American Vernacular

Suite 101
Washington, DC 20009

D. B. Stovall, a native Washingtonian, displays his vibrant large


format photographs of classically American landscapes in this series.
Saturated with color, these images reveal the nuanced design of mid-
century American storefront architecture, from Morgantown to North
Platte, Nebraska to Cheyenne; showcasing “things that seem
mundane or commonplace to others yet define our existence,” which
is how Stovall describes “American Vernacular.”

D.B. Stovall worked for almost 10 years as a professional


photographer after graduating from the Rochester Institute of
Technology in the mid-'70s, doing mostly industrial work and
graphic. After a nearly twenty year hiatus, Stovall returned to
photography after he was inspired by a cable television program on
historical Silver Spring. Advances in digital technology, software
and printing enabled him to transform his original photographs into
richly detailed prints.

He now resides in Richmond, VA and is an electrical engineer for a


private firm. His work has been shown at The Delaplaine Visual Arts
Center in Frederick, MD and at the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery in
Rockville, MD.

Opportunit ies

National Urban Fellows' leadership development program is a rigorous, 14-month, full-time graduate degree
program comprising two semesters of academic course work and a nine-month mentorship assignment. Fellows
receive a $25,000 stipend, health insurance, a book allowance, relocation and travel reimbursement, and full
payment of tuition, in addition to their ongoing personal and professional development.

The program culminates in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from the City of New York's Bernard
M. Baruch College, School of Public Affairs. During the mentorship, Fellows complete course work via distance
learning. An MPA degree is awarded to Fellows upon completion of all academic and program requirements.

Following graduation, Fellows become part of a prestigious group of well over 1,000 multicultural, multiracial
alumni who are graduates of the National Urban Fellows program and who are effecting positive changes in
communities nationally and internationally. Individually and collectively, they are helping to create an equitable
and just society while serving as role models for future generations.

Fellows apply their expertise in the public sector, contributing their newly acquired leadership skills to public
service for the betterment of their communities and the nation. They return to their former or new occupations
more experienced in public policy decision-making and are better prepared to make a strong commitment to
equity and social justice, thereby fulfilling the mission of the program. Finally, Fellows give back to the
organization that supported them, recognizing that their ongoing commitment, engagement and involvement
and/or annual giving will help to secure the future of National Urban Fellows.

To all our partners in the DC region -

Thanks again for your support of StreetWise Partners' programs over the last 12 months. We are excited about further
developing and improving our Career Ventures program, as well as our Alumni workshops over the next year, to better help
motivated low-income individuals. Currently 77% of participants have a job, a promotion or pay-rise, or are enrolled in a
career advancing education program within 6 months of starting our Career Ventures program. We want to get this up to
100%!

I hope you will continue to support our efforts as a volunteer, and we have a new Mock Interview Day on July 13th (downtown
Washington, D.C., 6:30pm - 9:00pm) that we're offering to individuals who are applying to participate in our Fall
program. Volunteers will conduct three mock interviews in different interviewer „roles‟ - CEO, Line Manager,
HR Manager – to give the experience of different types of interviews. Volunteers then give feedback about their
performance and their resume. You can RSVP to volunteer at this event by responding to this email!
If you're interested in helping us with our current challenge campaign to raise $100,000 by the end of June (last day of the
campaign today!), then you can text the word ‘partners’ to 20222 now to donate $10 to support our incredible programs. An
easy way to make a difference, without even leaving your desk! (more details below).

Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Best wishes,

Lauren

of their photo ID. Fingerprint cards can be mailed to the applicant or picked up from a Club location. Attached you will find
a listing of fingerprinting agencies with which you can make an appointment to complete the card.

**Please note that applicants under the age of 18 are not required to undergo a fingerprint check, though they
MUST complete the background investigation consent and permission form for minors and have each form
signed by legal parent/guardian. Be sure to include ALL required information including social security number
and signature(s)**

ABOUT YOUR ROLE:

Volunteer roles vary as specific Club needs change. Applicant's interests and skills may also determine a potential
volunteer role. General opportunities could easily include tutors, mentors, program aides, administrative aides,
maintenance, beautification/repair, events/fundraising, or even pro bono services based on your skills. BGCGW also
offers summer programming at most locations. Summer schedules often times include field trips, educational enrichment
workshops, sports/fitness activities, arts & crafts, and more!

I can help narrow it down by your specific interests or region (MD, DC, VA). Speaking with staff at a specific Club is
another great way to help select a location. We have 8 Clubs in VA, 8 in DC, and 2 in MD. I have attached a listing of our
Clubs for your review. This directory includes Club addresses, phone numbers, and contacts.
Please don't hesitate to let me know how/if I can be of further assistance OR if you have any colleagues/classmates that
may be interested as well. Thanks again for your recent contribution; we hope to see you again soon!!!

Americans for Tax Reform is accepting


applications for fall internships.

Applications are due July 16, 2010.

We believe in a system in which taxes are simpler, fairer, flatter, more visible, and lower than they are today. The
government's power to control one’s life derives from its power to tax. We believe that power should be
minimized. ATR was founded in 1985 by Grover Norquist at the request of President Reagan.

Internship Description: Americans for Tax Reform offers the chance to work alongside some of the best political
advocates in Washington, as well as the opportunity for increasing responsibility. Interns are assigned to work on
policy issues side by side with members of our staff. As a key part of the ATR team, interns work on projects such
as the

Taxpayer Protection Pledge(both federal and state candidates pledge not to raise taxes), the American
Shareholders Association(focusing on eliminating the Death Tax, expanding Lifetime Savings Accounts and
Retirement Savings Accounts, and social security reform), and the Cost of Government Day, a report identifying
and calculating government spending as a cost to taxpayers.

Qualifications: Duties include, but are not limited to, legislative and political research, drafting policy briefs,
writing press releases, blogging, attending meetings, and assisting with events. Applicants must be organized,
responsible, independent, and effective under deadlines. Exceptional written and oral communication skills are a
must. Interns are required to have a professional demeanor and phone manner. Applicants should have a strong
interest in tax reform and economic policy, and a fundamental orientation toward liberty. ATR accepts applications
from undergraduate and graduate students of all majors. Full-time and part-time interns are paid hourly. The
positions can be taken for credit through the applicant's home university or college, coinciding with spring,
summer, and fall semester dates.

Office Location: Our offices are ideally located at 722 12th Street, NW, in the heart of Washington D.C. ATR is
Metro accessible-located across the street from Metro Center.
Application: Please send a resume, a short writing sample on a topic relating to ATR's mission (no more
than five pages), a cover letter with your interest in ATR outlined, and a list of three references
to:cboyer@atr.org. Please use ‘Internship Application’ as the subject line of your email.

CAAB is recruiting volunteers for the DC EITC Campaign tax season (February-April 2010). Our greatest need is for Savings
Promoters – volunteers who would talk to people waiting to get their taxes done about taking money management classes,
savings, direct depositing their refund, and the like. No experience necessary, we train you.

We are also looking for tax preparation volunteers able to work at East of the River tax sites, during daytime hours, or who
speak Spanish, Chinese, or Amharic. It’s a good, low-commitment volunteer opportunity because it’s only 3 months. See the
email below and please pass on to your networks!

Thanks,

You Can Change Lives,


One Return at a Time

This tax season you can be a part of a tremendous effort that brings over $9 million
into the homes of DC’s low-income working families each year.

Volunteer as a Savings Promoter or Tax Preparer with the


DC Earned Income Tax Credit Campaign
(www.dceitc.org)!

Our Success Depends On Volunteers Like You!

Make a Difference
Each tax return completed by a volunteer preparer can raise a low-income working family’s income by
more than $6,000.

This income boost can help a working family get out of debt, afford winter coats, pay utility bills, and save for
future goals and needs.

Savings Promoter volunteers* will also be on site helping families use their refunds to move up the
economic ladder!

*The Campaign's greatest need is for additional Savings Promoter volunteers.

No Professional Experience Needed


If you know how to complete a tax return, or have done your own taxes, you can volunteer as a tax preparer. All
preparers receive 12 hours of free training (on Saturdays and/or weekdays evenings) and IRS certification in
January.

Or, if you would rather volunteer as a Savings Promoter, you will receive 4 hours of interactive training to enable
you to help clients save their refunds, enroll in Money Management classes and credit counseling, and even open
direct deposit accounts!

Opportunities for Everyone


In addition to tax preparers, we need volunteer interpreters and Savings Promoter
volunteers to educate clients about savings products and free financial resources.

Volunteers at some sites will even help eligible clients register for Food Stamps.

Flexible Hours & Locations


Volunteer for 3-4 hours a week from January 30 through mid April at one of 12 sites throughout the DC area. Most
sites are open on evenings and/or weekends.

DC .

Background: REALtalkDC is a social marketing campaign of Metro TeenAIDS (MTA), a non-profit that educates DC
youth about HIV and STD prevention. REALtalkDC was created to empower young people to Get Tested, Get
Educated, and Use Condoms by using social media to combat HIV/AIDS. These multimedia components include:

1. A text messaging campaign – “Text ‘REALtalk’ to 61827” – to give information to DC youth about where they can
go to get a free HIV or STD test as well as where they can access free condoms. There is also an HIV quiz that raises
awareness of prevention and modes of transmission.

2. A website (www.realtalkdc. org) to provide more comprehensive information about HIV and STDs as well as a
way for health providers throughout DC to find out ways to speak to youth about sexual health issues.

3. Social networking sites Facebook (www.facebook. com/realtalkdc) and MySpace (www.myspace.


com/metroteenaid s) to actively push out the message of youth getting tested and knowing their status.

messaging campaign and website as resources to find life-saving information.

time. We sponsor city-events, concerts, basketball tournaments and other activities on weekends and in the
summer.

free condoms and testing. The current website is currently hosted by a sexual health media companyout of San
Francisco and Word Press is used to update and edit the content. MTA is open to a completely new website and
structure unrelated to what has been built. The new site needs to be easy to navigate, easy to find and easy to input
and upload information for an MTA staff member to then maintain in the future.

Washington , DC .

· Possess a design that is youthful, directive, and continuous with campaign materials and design.
