From a press release:
Flag Day takes place on June 14th, when the American flag is celebrated everywhere across the United States while District of Columbia residents are reminded that they have neither representation in Congress nor representation on the American flag. On Friday, June 14th, District residents will take over Dupont Circle to celebrate the three stars and two bars of the DC flag with a Rally for DC’s iconic symbol.
WHAT: DC Flag Day Rally
WHEN: Friday, June 14, 2013, 6:00 pm
WHERE: Dupont CircleThe iconic DC flag symbol consists of the bold ‘two bars and three stars’ modeled after none other than George Washington’s family crest. Washington fought against taxation without representation. Ironically, two centuries later, citizens in Washington, DC have yet to win that battle. Co-founder Allyson Behnke explained that “DC has a small community of locals who do amazing things. Lots of locals or those who connect to DC in this special way often get a DC Flag tattoo. Yes, it means different things to different people, but it also connects all those who love DC. Back in 2011 we called it DC Flag Tattoo Day so we could see all the people who had DC Flag Tattoos.” DC Flag Day will feature the unveiling of a DC Voting Rights Banner that residents are crowdfunding. The 16-foot banner will later be hung across a street in DC if the fundraising goals are met by midnight on DC Flag Day.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
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.
