SUMMARY:Peterbug Day 5k
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Inaugural Peterbug Day 5k sponsored by the Fulcrum Foundation: A Celebration of the DC Historic Landmark Designation and Juneteenth. Every year in June\, the corner of  E Street &  Peterbug Matthews Way SE comes alive to celebrate the contribution of John “Peterbug” Matthews and the remembrance of Juneteenth. This year\, we add to our celebration the designation of the Peterbug Academy as a contributing landmark in Capitol Hill\, thanks to the preservation efforts of former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson who donated the land to the District where the Peterbug Academy now sits. We will be honoring her contribution with a planting ceremony in conjunction with the Lady Bird Johson’s Wildflower Center. \nYou can register for tickets here!\nFor more than 45 years Mr. Matthews and the Peterbug Academy has been an integral piece of the Capitol Hill community. His shoe repair academy has provided a much-needed service to his neighbors and an incomparable opportunity to make a difference in the lives of neighborhood children. Since 1977 he has been “saving soles and heeling people” while supporting the greenest form of all transportation – our feet! Kick off a celebration of Juneteenth weekend by walking\, jogging\, or running this 5K. Then hang around and walk in the Peterbug Day Parade as we move along E Street to Peterbug’s Shoe Academy to celebrate Peterbug’s birthday with food\, music\, and fellowship at the corner of Peterbug Matthews Way (13th St SE) & E St SE. The Fulcrum Foundation and the Peterbug Academy are proud to announce their partnership to help preserve the historic property located at 502 Peterbug Matthews Way St SE.

SUMMARY:Death Doula Days
DESCRIPTION:JUNE 17  We will have a special guest\, Barbara Borman who will answer questions about what it looks like to die. Barbara was a hospice nurse for decades and is now a docent and an adopt-a-plot volunteer at Congressional Cemetery. Come at 10am for the Q&A which will be for our first hour. The second hour we will just have general conversation. \nIf the weather is fine we may be outside. \nRSVP by clicking here \nNo one likes to talk about dying\, right? We do! \nBring your curiosity\, your courage\, and a sense of humor as we sit around the table at the gatehouse (almost) every Saturday in 2023 to explore our worries and wonderment about mortality. Join our new death doula in residence for a weekly series of conversations and workshops about the end of life. Guests will include those who sit with the dying\, care for our bodies\, and help those we will leave behind. We will work on projects like organizing our digital lives\, documenting our wishes\, and telling our life stories. We will play games\, do projects\, hear musicians\, meet artists\, and hear from scholars who explore the end of life in their work. Our goal is to explore a ‘death positive’ way to think about our mortality. You never know who you’ll meet around the table\, but each person who enters the room is a gift to the event. Cake and tea provided. Donations to our host\, Historic Congressional Cemetery\, are warmly encouraged. \nBy facing our fear of death we aim to best enjoy every breath. \nTo see upcoming topics and guests join our Death Doula Days mailing list by clicking HERE. \n
