“Where can you thumb-wrestle, deliver your best one-minute presidential acceptance speech AND help a fantastic writing center kick off its fall fundraising campaign? Capitol Letters Writing Center (www.capitolletters.org) wants YOU to join us October 28th at The Big Hunt in Dupont Circle. Come early for drink specials and, starting at 7 p.m., 15-cent wings. We’ll have prizes for champion thumb-wrestlers, presidential stand-ins ready to deliver the speeches of those who prefer to save their voices to cheer on thumb-wrestlers, and gads of information about our programming and the kids we’ve worked with and how to get involved. Invite your friends. Invite those with thumbs you believe are weaker than yours. Invite everyone!
There will be a $20 minimum donation request at the door. Or you can donate online before the party at http://www.capitolletters.org/
Come celebrate with us and help the hottest little non-profit in town become the hottest BIG non-profit in town!
Host: Capitol Letters Writing Center
Location: The Big Hunt, 1345 Connecticut Ave NW (Dupont Circle Metro)
When: Tuesday, October 28, 5:30PM (thumb wrestling tournament begins at 7:00PM)”

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
