ANOTHER HOUSE EXCHANGE WORKSHOP ON MARCH 16!

          I’m excited to announce that I’ll be holding my THIRD house exchange workshop on Sunday, March 16, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.  The venue is once again the historic Hill Center on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.  My previous two house exchange workshops SOLD OUT, with waiting lists. The Lincoln Room holds 100 participants, but the last two workshops were Standing Room Only, so register early!

            The Hill Center has a storied history dating back to 1864, when President Abraham Lincoln commissioned the construction of the nation’s first naval hospital to care for vets wounded in the Civil War.  By the time the building was finished in 1866, Lincoln was dead and the war was over.  The 50-bed facility’s first patient was a 24-year-old African American seaman, Benjamin Drummond.
       

 

            Now, nearly 150 years later, the Old Naval Hospital has undergone a $10 million renovation, bringing the structure back to its original glorious appearance, re-painted in its original colors and surrounded by an impressive wrought-iron fence.  The renovation also incorporated many state-of-the-art designs, including a “green footprint” and a heating and cooling system supported by 32 geothermal wells.

             The Hill Center is described in its website, www.hillcenterdc.org, as “a landmark of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, a vibrant, campus-like hub for cultural enrichment, lifelong learning, and civic engagement.”  I can attest that the Hill Center is a beautiful location, with many interesting programs, and I’m very pleased to be offering my next house exchange workshop there.

             Put Sunday, March 16, on your calendars!  I hope to see you there!
