Interesting, a flyer on a "Ward Five Convention" tonight at Greater Mt. Calvary Church, 610 Rhode Island Avenue NE. 6 pm - 9 pm.

Besides the keynote listed in the header, the flyer says--

--Ward 5 Roll Call: ANC5A, ANC5b, ANC5C, civic associations, citizens groups, Ward 5 Democrats;
--Ward 5 Council on Education;
-- Meet the Ward 5 Council Candidates;
-- Recognition of former Ward 5 Councilmembers.
with special performances by Dunbar Senior High School Marching Band, DC Youth Ensemble, and much more!
