Read the LRCA April 2025 Newsletter
This year is an election year for LRCA. LRCA encourages residents to get involved and run for a position. A list of LRCA Board positions is included in the newsletter and online at https://lrcadc.org. If you want to run for a position, please call 202-838-6058, email ask@lrcadc.org, or come to the April meeting and nominate yourself from the floor. If you want to vote in the next election, you must pay your dues by April 7, 2025. You can easily pay online at https://lrcadc.org/membership-join or fill out and mail-in the membership form on page 4 of the newsletter (mailed-in forms must be postmarked no later than April 7, 2025).
Lots is happening around the neighborhood. Make sure you are on the distribution list for your neighborhood and advisory neighborhood commission (ANC) for meeting notices and updates.
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 mayor and council all have active social media accounts if that is your jam.
Lamond-Riggs
LRCA has a google group.
North Michigan Park
To join NMPCA’s distribution list, email NMPCA president Carmen Williams at carm8954@aol.com.
ANC 4B does a nice job of posting meeting notices & information on its website at http://anc4b.org. You can subscribe to ANC 4B’s email list via the ANC’s website.
ANC 4B also has several committees. Meeting notices for those committees are posted on the ANC’s website.
To join ANC 5A’s email list, fill out the form on ANC 5A’s website at https://anc5a.org.
Individual commissioners have their own distribution lists as well, so I recommend reaching out to your commissioner to find out if they have a single member district (SMD) distribution list. Find your ANC/SMD. Find contact information for your commissioner: ANC 4B; ANC 5A.
I know that these commissioners have SMD distribution lists:
Feel free to reach out to your commissioner to ask about the best way to get updates for your area.
Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George
Councilmember Janeese Lewis George distributes a weekly newsletter. Sign up at https://www.janeeseward4.com/newsletter.
Ward 5 Councilmember Zachary Parker
Councilmember Zachary Parker also distributes a weekly newsletter. Sign up at ward5.us/newsletter. He also produces a weekly podcast called The Ward 5 Wave. A recent podcast featured Riggs Park neighbor Sia Barbara Kamara, a volunteer coordinator of the monthly mobile market at Faith United Church who has a remarkable life story.
DC At-large Councilmembers & DC Council Chair
Each of the DC At-large Councilmembers and DC Council Chair Phil Mendelson distribute a newsletter. I think it is helpful to also follow the councilmembers who chair committees that interest you, for example the committee on transportation, committee on business & economic development, etc.
DC Muriel Mayor Bowser & District government agencies
If you find yourself often having questions about certain District government agencies, it is a good idea to subscribe to the distribution lists for those agencies. Visit mayor.dc.gov to subscribe to newsletters and email updates for Mayor Bowser as well as a long list of District government agencies. You can also subscribe to individual agency newsletters by visiting the agency’s website. For example, DDOT distributes a weekly construction update newsletter that includes notice of sidewalk and street paving locations.
DC MOCRS (Mayor’s Office Liaisons)
DC mayor office liaisons (known as MOCRs) typically have a distribution list. There is regular turnover in the MOCR office, as each MOCR typically serves around two years. Reach out to your Ward 4 or Ward 5 MOCR to be added to their list.
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)
The police department has a google group for the Fourth District. MPD 4D Sector 2 (which covers the neighborhood) meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Reach out to Officer Robert Hamrick for more information at robert.hamrick@dc.gov.
MPD’s 4D Citizens Advisory Council meets the 4th Thursday of each month.
