Summer is winding down and that means community meetings are starting up again. Fun times!

Now is a good time to make sure you are on the distribution list for your neighborhood and Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) so that you can stay abreast of meeting notices and neighborhood happenings.

Also, other elected officials and District government agencies have email lists to which you can subscribe if you like getting lots of information in your inbox.

• The Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association (LRCA) meets at 7:00 pm the 1st Monday of each month from October to June.

ANC 4B

• ANC 4B meets at 7:00 pm the 4th Monday of each month except July, August, and December.

ANC 4B does a nice job of posting meeting notices & information on its website at http://anc4b.org.

ANC 4B also has a number of committees. Meeting notices for those committees are posted on the ANC’s website.

Commissioner Alison Brooks (4B08) has a single member district (SMD) distribution list. Email her at 4B08@anc.dc.gov.

I understand the ANC is putting together a distribution list.

ANC 5A

• ANC 5A meets the 4th Wednesday of each month except July & August.

To join ANC 5A’s email list, you can either –

(1) Email ANC 5A Secretary Commissioner Emily Singer Lucio (5A03) at 5A03@anc.dc.gov.

OR

(2) Fill out the contact form on ANC 5A’s website at https://anc5a.org and say you wish to be added to the ANC’s distribution list.

Individual commissioners have their own distribution lists as well, so I recommend reaching out to your commissioner to find out if they have an SMD distribution list. I know that these commissioners have SMD distribution lists:

• Commissioner Damion McDuffie (5A01) – email 5A01@anc.dc.gov
• Commission Emily Singer Lucio (5A03) – email 5A03@anc.dc.gov
• Commissioner Gordon Fletcher (5A08) – email 5A08@anc.dc.gov

I have not inquired about other commissioners in ANC 5A, so feel free to reach out to your commissioner to ask.

Also, Commissioner Lucio helpfully posts notice of her SMD meetings on ANC 5A’s website so you can also look for her meeting notices and minutes there. Commissioner Lucio is having an SMD meeting tomorrow September 8.
