Ice Cream Tonight!

Hello,

Just a quick reminder that DSNC’s ice-cream fundraiser is tonight! Buy a gelato at Art's Creamery (97 Elmwood St., Cambridge) by 10 PM tonight and 10% of sales will generously be donated to the Davis Square Neighborhood Council.

Best,

Louisa

Good afternoon,

The Davis Square Neighborhood Council's Programs Committee has three exciting upcoming opportunities to share with you:

1) Ice Cream Fundraiser

Did you know that there is a new ice-cream store with delicious gelato nearby? Based in Belmont, Art's Creamery just opened a second store at 97 Elmwood St., Cambridge. They are generously hosting a fundraiser for DSNC on Thursday, July 30th between 5-10 PM. Buy an ice cream at the new store THIS Thursday and 10% of sales will be donated to DSNC! Located where Elmwood Street meets the Community Path (which is currently closed in that section.) Flyer attached. Thanks to Paul for coordinating!

2) Kickball Tournament

Union Square Neighborhood Council is hosting the first ever Kickball Connect Community Event on Saturday, August 29th at the Lincoln Park softball field. Event time TBD. They have invited us to play, so we are hoping to put together a DSNC team. So far only four people have signed up. Per USNC rules, "teams will be co-ed with 7 minimum/15 maximum players, at least 2 women and 2 men per team, and one member designated as captain." Please contact me if you'd like to sign up. IF we don't get enough people for a formal team, it is still possible to enroll as an individual here (but wait to do that).

3) Volunteer Cooking
The Somerville Homeless Coalition is looking for community groups to volunteer to cook a Monday Night Meal for Project Soup. Leon brought this opportunity to help to my attention. I'm hoping we can recruit DSNC volunteers to buy groceries, cook (at the church or our own homes), and serve a hearty meal for 30-40 people (but we should plan on 50-60 servings once guests have seconds.) Date TBD based on volunteers' availability and the Project Soup calendar. Please let me know if you are interested in participating.

Best,

Louisa & the Program Committee
