Join BCDC for our riverside spring picnic and open house at Arlington’s Gravelly Point (near National Airport) May 21 @ 3:30PM! We’ll break bread, sip drinks, and raffle off some Brown and Rhode Island swag–all with the scenic backdrop of planes landing and taking off just beyond us.
On top of reconnecting with fellow Brunonians from throughout the DC area, it’s also a chance to celebrate the past year as we look toward a new BCDC board come July, and to share your ideas about what the year ahead should include. We’ll also share ways to get involved in growing our local Brown community.
Our picnic spread will feature summery fare and Rhode Island classics like ice-cold ‘Gansetts. We’ll also raffle off a mixture of Brown swag and Ocean State standbys–think Del’s Lemonade mix, Autocrate coffee milk syrup, and more! Stop by for just a bit or stay as long as you’d like. Friends, family, and pets are warmly welcomed, too!
Known for its love stories and distinctive, syncopated rhythm, bachata originated in the Dominican Republic during the 1960s. Repressive politics in that era stifled broad awareness of the dance form, but at long last it has become a true, international sensation.
Our private lesson is offered at a special discount to members of BCDC and ColumbiaDC, as well as their guests. Registration includes each dancer’s lesson fee, and a cash bar will be available. Following the lesson, we are invited to continue dancing the night away with Stuck on Salsa!
BCDC is ecstatic to invite Brunonians of all class years to a special “welcome back” celebration for the Brown in Washington (BIW) program on June 13 @ 5:30PM! BIW will return to an on-site (non-Zoom!) experience this month for the first time since 2020, after a heroic amount of work to keep the program thriving remotely during pandemic conditions.
We’ll gather in BIW’s new home in the National Press Building for an evening of mirth, mentorship, and intergenerational community-
Light fare and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. At 7:00PM we’ll switch to alumni-only company and carry the conversation to a nearby venue, for those who can stay after hours.
