DC Quakers offer inauguration day rest area : come in from the cold!

Posted on January 17, 2009 by

Friendsmeetingofdc

For those of you coming to Washington DC for the presidential inauguration this Tuesday, I'm sure you are wondering how you are going to keep warm and take a break during the chilly festivities.  The local Quakers in DC have thought of this too, and are generously opening their doors to anyone that day who wants to rest a spell in a warm place and have a cup of hot soup.  Sounds very Quakerly to me!

The Meetinghouse will be open for all from 10am to 6pm on January 20. At the Friends Meeting of Washington at 2111 Florida Avenue, NW (Google Map link), in the nearby Dupont Circle neighborhood of DC. It's a beautiful old historic building, and, well, friendly folks.  So stop on by this Tuesday, or any given Sunday.

The complete message from the Washington Quakers follows after the jump…

Visiting Washington DC for the Presidential Inauguration?

  • Come in from the cold

 ALL ARE WELCOME!  It is not a partisan event, but an opportunity to offer hospitality to visitors

The Friends Meetinghouse is located near Dupont Circle at
