Metro cards for members without incomes to get to their doctors, jobs, or schools. Please send all metro card donations to the attention of the Development Office at 1623 16th Street NW, Washington DC 20009.
Toiletries, especially deodorant and toothpaste, for our men’s and women’s emergency closets.
Safeway/Giant cards for members without incomes, who are awaiting approval of their benefits.
Phyllis makes lunches daily at the Green Door Clubhouse and is on a limited income. She would really appreciate a cutting board and a fanny pack.
Roberta needs an answering machine, to keep in touch with the people who call her.
Mimi has recently moved into her own apartment after a period of homelessness. She is in need of an answering machine, printer, shower curtain and rings, clothes hangers, summer clothes (size 8), lamps, a night stand, a TV stand, and living room chairs. Having these items would meet some of her basic needs and turn her new apartment into a home.
Robert would like a microwave to allow him to reheat leftovers, saving him money on food.
Thomas is a patient at St. Elizabeth’s and is getting out of the hospital soon. He needs a wallet for all of his new ID’s and any information he’ll need to carry with him when he’s out.
Every Thursday morning, the Green Door Clubhouse’s members and staff make breakfast. They would like to the change breakfast menu from pancakes to waffles. They will need two waffle irons to do so.
Green Door housing needs five vacuums for the five housing units. The vacuums consistently break from their constant use. This will help maintain a clean and healthy home.
Piney Branch, Minnesota House, and Pennsylvania House are housing units of Green Door. The members would really appreciate exterior table and chairs (3 sets that seat six people). This will allow them to socialize with roommates and to have comfortable furniture to use outside.
The Green Door Clubhouse is beginning to hold its monthly summer cookouts. The members would really appreciate a kickball to use at the cookouts.
The Café Unit would like a nacho cheese dispenser and a Slurpee/Slushy machine to attract more people down to their unit.
Items on the wish list should be fully functioning, gently used or new items. Please contact Megan Butler at Megan.Butler@greendoor.org or 202-408-1977 x2 before donating.

Another Delay on the S&T Parks
The DC Department of Parks and Recreation has notified the ANC and a few community leaders that, due again to the rain that DC has been recieving, the opening of the S & T Street triangle parks, including the neighborhood dog park, will be delayed at least until the end of July.
Unfortunately, I think that this date could slip even further. There is still much work to be done. I surveyed the site this weekend and took some photos.
It looks like some existing trees still need to be cut back as they are impacting pedestrians on the sidewalk, and the sign that DPR put up still claims that the park will open in Spring 2009. I'm working to get that changed as well. Wish me luck!

More Hollywood in Dupont!
From Commissioner Mike Feldstein, but I thought it was neat:
I have just been informed by the Mayor's Office that Columbia Pictures will be filming in the Dupont area this week. The bulk of the filming will take place on Friday, June 19 (with Jack Nicholson and Paul Rudd).
Locations:
East side of Connecticut Avenue, NW between S & R Streets (6/19/09, 4am until 10pm)
East side of Connecticut Avenue, NW between R & Q Streets (6/19/09, 4am until 10pm)
Both sides of R Street, NW between 20th and 19th Streets (6/16/09, 7am until 10pm)
Both sides of 20th Street, NW (only a little over half of the block) between S and R Streets (6/16/09, 7am until 10pm)
South side of S Street, NW between Connecticut Avenue and 20th Street (Condor parking - 7am on 6/18/09 until 7am on 6/19/09).
The production will also park their condor (a crane used to raise lights) on the south side of S Street, NW between Connecticut Avenue and 20th Street (7am on 6/18/09 until 7am on 6/19/09). These will be the metered spaces close to the corner of Connecticut Avenue and S Street. On the morning of 6/19 this piece of equipment will be moved into it’s position (see map) on 20th Street.
Further questions should be directed to the Film Office at 727-6608.

Real Answers on the Real World
Below are answers, from the Mayor's office, to the various questions asked at our last meeting about "Real World". Commissioner Mike Feldstein and I would like to thank Andrew Huff for the first rate job he did at last Wednesday ANC meeting and the quick turn around on these questions.
1) How many total crew members make up the production and what percentage of them are local?35 crew members have been hired locally for this production. In addition, for the next four months, all of the crew is local - renting apartments, living in the neighborhood, and eating in local restaurants.
2) Where can interested parties look for employment information as it relates to the production?The production is currently “crewed-up” and not hiring additional people at this time.
3) Why doesn't MTV use the parking facility across the street from the house instead of taking metered spots?Currently, due to construction, vehicles are needed next to the house to unload materials, equipment, etc. Once production begins, these vehicles will need to be as close to the house as possible and easily accessed 24/7. Also, certain vehicles are too tall to fit into the garage across the street.
4) What will be done to address the issue of tour buses traveling down S Street to show people the house?These issues will be addressed by the Mayor’s office, DDOT, and MPD. Residents are encouraged to report any violations to these offices (including license pl ate #s and vehicle descriptions).
5) Is there any chance that the total # of parking spaces lost can be reduced from 6 to 4?This production will not take away any RPP parking from the neighborhood. The spaces being occupied are for commercial purposes and the production company is paying the District for their use. At most, 6 metered parking spots will be used over the course of the production.
6) What is the plan for reaching out to the charter school across the street to inform them of the production?The District will reach out to the charter school about the production.
7) Will MTV offer any kind of “amenities” to the community (i.e. donations to area non-profits or causes)? If so, is there an avenue for residents to contribute ideas for where time/money should be donated?This possibility will be explored with the production company. Studies have shown that this production generates substantial tourism dollars in the communities they film after the show airs. Also, local crew members are hired, injecting revenue into the local economy (construction companies, restaurants, hotels, bars, etc.).
