[Lincolnparkdc] The KY Ave & 13th Street Block Party Must Live On - Sat. Oct. 17 at 5pm

[Peter Barclay]

Dear Neighbors,

Just want to say thanks to all of you that came out and joined the socially
distanced block party yesterday and you that toasted from afar.  It was a
great time and I think we had about 30 or so people present for a toast to
two.  We also had the opportunity to welcome some new neighbors as well.

Alan L, thank you for coming out and say hello.  It would not be a party
without you.

Also, thank you to Steve Holtzman (our ANC rep) for stopping by to say
hello.

We are really lucky to have such great neighbors and friends.

The Block the party lives on.

Cheers, '
The planning group
Peter, Gina, Tom, Matt, Mark, Greg, Jason, and Stefan
