Blindsight), the film features an array of important international statesmen, including President Jimmy

Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pervez Musharraf and Tony Blair. It makes a compelling case forworldwide nuclear disarmament, an issue more topical than ever with the Obama administrationworking to revive this goal today. The film was produced by Academy Award winner and current

DMZ to DC

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Korean War.

60 years later, the Korean War is not over, and Korea is still divided.

In 1945, two U.S. colonels in Washington, D.C. divided the Korean peninsula along the 38th parallel. Thisarbitrary divide soon became a border and military frontline before and during the Korean War. An Armistice

temporarily ceased fighting on the Korean peninsula and established the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) along the38th parallel. A peace treaty was never signed, and to this day, Korea remains in a state of war.

The National Campaign to End the Korean War is bringing the DMZ back to Washington, D.C. Join us for a

series of events that show how we continue to be affected by the division and demand the U.S. government endthe Korean War by signing a peace treaty.

SUNDAY, JULY 25, 2:00-4:00 p.m."100 Bojagi for Peace"Capitol Reflecting Pool Plaza

between 1st and 3rd Streets NWThis interactive art installation in front of the Capitol will feature 100 bojagi (traditional Korean bundles carried

by refugees during the war) with audio and written recollections by Korean Americans and Canadians duringthe Korean War. The bojagi represent millions of Korean families who are still separated by the division.

Free For All, Washington's favorite summer tradition,

returns next month with Twelfth Night, directed by

STC Associate Director Alan Paul. This breathtaking

adaptation, which received "deserved oohs and aahs"

from The Washington Postand was called

"Exuberant...a rose-strewn romance," by Washington

City Paper, will be staged—completely free of

charge—for three weeks in Sidney Harman Hall.

With no ticket income to offset production costs, STC

relies solely on contributions to cover the cost of this impactful community

outreach program. Even with corporate and foundation support, STC needs to

raise more than $200,000 to make Free For All possible.

We invite you to become a Friend of Free For All—one of hundreds ofindividuals who generously donate to underwrite Free For All each year. Your

contribution will not only make this year's production possible, but will also

support Students for Shakespeare, making this Shakespeare production

Summer Concert Series Throughout the summer, the musicians of the United States Navy Band captivate audiences with

their powerful performances under the stars. The Navy Band and its Specialty Groups perform allover the Washington area and beyond.

The season begins on Memorial Day and ends on Labor Day at the U.S. Navy Memorial, located at

701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, just steps from the Archives-Navy Memorial metro stop. During the

summer months, you can hear the Navy Band on Tuesday evenings at the Navy Memorial for

"Concerts on the Avenue." All concerts begin at 8:00 p.m. and no tickets are required for thesefree concerts.

In addition to classic band concerts, the schedule will include performances by Navy Band SpecialtyGroups - the "Sea Chanters" chorus, "Commodores" jazz ensemble, "Country Current" country-bluegrass group and "Cruisers" contemporary entertainment ensemble. Look for our special series

at the Navy Memorial that will feature several performing units on the same concert! These not-to-

be-missed productions are designed to be the perfect entertainment for a summer evening inWashington, D.C.

Because most of our summer concerts are held outdoors with no rain site, inclement weather cancause cancellation.

Every artist has a definition of source; all little pools of the personal that seek to flow

towards a larger body; to somehow return to an undifferentiated unity from which the

familiar can resonate. Source can be one that creates; a maker, or that which supplies

information; a source code. Source can be a point at which substance springs into being or

the energy input point of a system. Nature as refuge from the artificial constructs of

civilization is always present as source. It is from a natural source that humanity has

diversified creating competition and inventing technologies that have brought with themglobal problems of massive proportions.

Pat Gosleelives and works in Washington, DC. She received a BFA in graphic design from the

University of Georgia and an MFA in painting from Catholic University. She has served on the

Board of Directors for the Washington Arts Museum (WAM) and the DC Arts Center (DCAC), and

the Advisory Committee for International Arts & Artists' Hillyer Art Space. She has been a visiting

artist lecturer at local institutions including American University and the Corcoran Collage of Art

+ Design.

Where can you find hordes of unrestrained, dancing teenagers, hipster toddlers and dogs, and music-fanatic

families and friends restraining dogs and toddlers while dodging unrestrained, dancing teenagers? Try the eclectic

crowd at the Fort Reno concert series.

Expect the best of D.C.'s hardcore rawk, punk and any-kind-of-indie music scene in these twice-weekly concerts,

which run through mid-August. It's a great way to discover local bands (including Tereu Tereu, pictured), eat a

picnic spread (sans wine the park doesn't allow booze) or simply lie back and people-watch.

Shows are 7:00-9:30 p.m.

Chesapeake and Nebraska Avenues NW (Tenleytown)

Fort Reno is located across the street from Woodrow Wilson High School.

From time to time shows get rained out, if you're ever wondering if a show is happening or not call (202) 355-6356

D. B. Stovall, a native Washingtonian, displays his vibrant largeformat photographs of classically American landscapes in this series.Saturated with color, these images reveal the nuanced design of mid-

century American storefront architecture, from Morgantown to North

Platte, Nebraska to Cheyenne; showcasing things that seem

mundane or commonplace to others yet define our existence, which

is how Stovall describes American Vernacular.

D.B. Stovall worked for almost 10 years as a professionalphotographer after graduating from the Rochester Institute of

Technology in the mid-'70s, doing mostly industrial work and

graphic. After a nearly twenty year hiatus, Stovall returned tophotography after he was inspired by a cable television program on

historical Silver Spring. Advances in digital technology, software

and printing enabled him to transform his original photographs intorichly detailed prints.

He now resides in Richmond, VA and is an electrical engineer for aprivate firm. His work has been shown at The Delaplaine Visual Arts

Center in Frederick, MD and at the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery in

Rockville, MD.

First, THANK YOU so much for your help in making this years BBQ Battle such a su ccess! We could not have done it

without you. Know that you made a difference, and we very appreciative of those who choose to serve with us or on our

behalf.

You are receiving this email because you marked on your Volunteer Form (when you signed up for BBQ Battle) that you

the process to becoming a regular volunteer with us as well as some general volunteer roles that may interest you.

ABOUT THE PROCESS:

In order to regularly volunteer at a Club, the applicant must complete, sign, and return the application packet. This will

include a registration form (attached), a background investigation consent form (attached), a fingerprint card, AND a copy

of their photo ID. Fingerprint cards can be mailed to the applicant or picked up from a Club location. Attached you will find

a listing of fingerprinting agencies with which you can make an appointment to complete the card.

**Please note that applicants under the age of 18 are not required to undergo a fingerprint check, though they

ABOUT YOUR ROLE:

Volunteer roles vary as specific Club needs change. Applicant's interests and skills may also determine a potential

volunteer role. General opportunities could easily include tutors, mentors, program aides, administrative aides,

offers summer programming at most locations. Summer schedules often times include field trips, educational enrichment

workshops, sports/fitness activities, arts & crafts, and more!

I can help narrow it down by your specific interests or region (MD, DC, VA). Speaking with staff at a specific Club is

another great way to help select a location. We have 8 Clubs in VA, 8 in DC, and 2 in MD. I have attached a listing of our

advocates in Washington, as well as the opportunity for increasing responsibility. Interns are assigned to work onpolicy issues side by side with members of our staff. As a key part of the ATR team, interns work on projects such

as the

Taxpayer Protection Pledge(both federal and state candidates pledge not to raise taxes), theAmerican

Shareholders Association(focusing on eliminating the Death Tax, expanding Lifetime Savings Accounts and

Retirement Savings Accounts, and social security reform), and the Cost of Government Day, a report identifying

and calculating government spending as a cost to taxpayers.

Qualifications: Duties include, but are not limited to, legislative and political research, drafting policy briefs,

writing press releases, blogging, attending meetings, and assisting with events. Applicants must be organized,

responsible, independent, and effective under deadlines. Exceptional written and oral communication skills are a

must. Interns are required to have a professional demeanor and phone manner. Applicants should have a strong

interest in tax reform and economic policy, and a fundamental orientation toward liberty. ATR accepts applications

from undergraduate and graduate students ofall majors. Full-time and part-time interns are paid hourly. The

positions can be taken for credit through the applicant's home university or college, coinciding with spring,

summer, and fall semester dates.

Office Location: Our offices are ideally located at 722 12th Street, NW, in the heart of Washington D.C. ATR is

Metro accessible-located across the street from Metro Center.
