Every other Wednesday at 11am, we stack the chairs and push the tables into the kitchen to make space for Nick Gracenin’s tai chi class. Some guests jump right in, while other require a little nudge before stepping out onto the floor. We are so lucky to have Nick as part of the GMC community. If you have an hour to spare on Wednesday mornings and would like to see the class in action, contact us to find out when the next class is!

Here is a short video of Nick giving a demonstration at the International Chinese Martial Arts Championship in D.C. in 2010.

We want to thank Calvary Road Christian School for recently running a hat, glove, and washcloth drive! They collected so many washcloths for us that washcloths are no longer a top need of ours. We will, of course, accept them if you happen to have been collecting them for us, but for the time being, there is no need to go out and buy washcloths for us.

What we could use:

Yarn: Our little crochet group is making blankets, sweaters, scarves, and bags at an incredible pace! It would be a great help to them if people could donate several skeins of yarn in the same color. Our crocheters tell me that it’s about 7-8 skeins for a blanket. At least 3-4 skeins of the same color would be appreciated.

Sandwiches: We could use some on the weekends and a few more on Mondays and Wednesdays. If interested, please contact Stephanie (stephanie@gmcgt.org) before bringing them in.

Today we sang a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to our members and staff born in January (and a few Decembers who missed the celebration last month). It was the most lively singing of the birthday song we’ve had to date!

We couldn’t have done it without this beautiful and delicious 3-tier carrot cake from Serendipity 3! Dorothy, a staff member born in December, says carrot cake is her favorite kind. YUM!

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Point in Time survey, helped us canvass the streets, or sent us tips. We couldn’t have done it without you!
