Announcement

Local rising kindergartener, Phin, has advanced to the Top 5 in his group in the national Jr. Ranger Contest, a competition that celebrates children who are passionate about nature, wildlife, and exploration. After making it through earlier rounds with strong family and friend support, Phin is now in 4th place and working toward the top spot needed to move on to the quarterfinals.

The contest encourages kids to engage with the outdoors and highlights their curiosity and love for learning about the natural world. For Phin and his family, this experience has been both exciting and meaningful, made even more special by the encouragement from friends, neighbors, and the broader community.

Thanks to ZC for the Friendship Heights Trader Joe’s Update:

“I spoke with a TJ employee who had stocked the Friendship Heights TJs this morning. He said that they were waiting on the Certificate of Occupancy to open and suggested it would be after Thanksgiving. He also said they still do not have their Alcohol License. Here is to more waiting.”

Stay tuned.
