February Update
I just spoke with my contact at the Unification Church, unfortunately there is an event there this Saturday and thus I was unable to get a tour secured. However, I mentioned March 7 and he said that there is nothing currently on that date. I will contact him again on March 2/3 and confirm for a March 7 date--let's hope this time works!

February Save the Date
February's DC adventure is tentatively scheduled for Feb 28, 2009. I realize, I'm pushing it, but that's how it goes sometimes.
The tentative idea is to take a tour of the old DC chapel (http://www.mormonhistoricsitesregistry.org/USA/washingtonDC/dcChapel/history.htm). I spoke today with the one of the current building administrators and he is willing to show us around the building. He was also in the area when the Unification Church (the current owners) bought the building from the LDS Church and thus has knowledge of how the building has changed a bit since.
If you plan on attending, please let me know as soon as possible since the tour is not regularly offered, thus I want to let the Reverend know beforehand how many people will be in our group.
The tentative schedule would be to tour the church around 11/11:30 and then afterwards, for those that are interested, go to Shawarma King which is just down the street.
Shawarma King is a new fast food restaurant in the area owned by individuals that moved to America 7 years ago from Bethlehem. They make their shawarama (offered in beef and chicken) and falafel in the traditional manner, including importing certain items from the Middle East to keep everything authenticate. I ate there recently and can attest it is definitely worth it--especially at only $5. (http://www.expressnightout.com/content/2009/02/the_shawarma_wars_new_eatery_has_falafel.php)
