*************************************************

Over 300 men, women, and children came out to run, jog, and walk for the children of Gaza at the first annual Gaza Solidarity 5K. Together we raised over $50,000, allowing us to provide 1,200 children in Gaza with critically needed summertime counseling through the UN Relief and Work’s Agency for Palestine Refugee’s (UNRWA) Community Mental Health Program. This year, we hope to do even more at the 2013 Gaza Solidarity 5K! So lace up your running (or walking) shoes, and join the movement to get moving for the kids in Gaza!

Announcing the next ADC-DC Area Chapter networking event!

Caseo and JBC Events team up with the ADC DC Chapter for another happy hour at Bar Dupont. “L’Apéro” is equal parts happy hour and weekend warm-up, a musical trip through some of the best scenes and sounds around – from Brooklyn to Berlin, Barcelona to Beirut. If you can relate, come out and join us. Bar Dupont is a great venue with food and happy hour drink specials till 8:30pm. We’ll also have music both inside and outside on the patio this time. Hope you can make it…

*A portion of the proceeds will benefit Dreams for Kids DC

Under the motto “Serving Communities, Connecting People”, each year thousands of Arab Americans join together to create positive change in their communities. While the service projects in each city are unique, the event is a true testimony that Arab Americans are giving back and joining together to serve their neighborhoods.

This year, AAI, ADC, and NAAP-DC will be working together to organize two projects in the DC area: one at The Farm on the Walker-Jones Education Campus and another at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Alexandria.

Participants of all ages are welcome! Click here to sign up 

Please direct questions about ReStore to Fatima Ahmed at fatima.ahmed1@gmail.com and those about The Farm to Jennine Vari at jvari@aaiusa.org or Marielle Costanza at mcostanza@adc.org.

ADC, in partnership with CAIR, will be phone banking this weekend to encourage Arabs and Muslims in northern Virginia to vote in this Tuesday’s elections!

Come for one, two, three or four hours to encourage fellow citizens to vote. This event is non-partisan and we will not be favoring one candidate, party or affiliation over another. Rather, we are encouraging citizens to make sure that their voice is heard by voting!

Snacks will be provided to those that participate. The ADC office is located conveniently two blocks from Farragut North, Dupont Circle and Farragut West METRO stations.

Date: Saturday, November 3, 2012

Time: 11:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Eastern
