ReplyDeleteDrop-off location is my English-Tudor style house at 2939 Newark Street NW, behind the Uptown Theater and about 500 feet west of Connecticut Ave. We have a covered porch.
As many of you know, my husband (“Clown Gary”) and I (“Clown Judy”) volunteer regularly as clowns at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC); the Washington, DC, Veterans Administration Medical Center; and for various local non-profit organizations.
Thanks very much on behalf of our military men and women! If you have any questions, please email me at JKOPFF at AOL dot COM.
