KCA Summer Party, Thursday June 17th: Happy Hour with the Candidates from 6-7 pm, Dinner at 7 pm. Reserve Now !

We've expanded the Happy Hour segment of the KCA Summer Party at Perrys to run from 6-7 pm. Perrys has put together a nice menu of reduced-price drinks. Ask your server.

I've invited all the Mayoral, Ward One and At-Large Council candidates to drop in during Happy Hour to meet and greet with voters. It should be a lively time and a great chance to chat one-on-one with candidates. I've already received positive rsvps from Phil Mendelson, at-large; Marc Morgan, Republican, Ward One Council; Bryan Weaver and Jeff Smith, Democrats, Ward One Council; Leo Alexander, Democrat, Mayoral race; and "schedule-checking" replies from Vincent Gray, Democrat, Mayoral race; and Jim Graham, Democrat, Ward One Council.

Each June, KCA holds a party to celebrate the end of another year of work in the community. For a number of years now, we've been gathering at Perrys restaurant for this event. Owner and neighbor Saied Azali takes good care of us with a wonderful menu at a very reasonable price of $25.00. Tax and tip not included. Cash bar.

Perrys is located at 1811 Columbia Road, NW, at the corner of Columbia Road and Biltmore Street.
