Friday: Fundraiser, Fish Vases & Careers in Catvocacy

We'll start your Friday run of opportunities and amusements by telling you what you should be doing next Friday, July 15: attending the Friends of the Tune Inn fundraiser (3:00-10:00 pm at the nearby American Legion Post 8) – auctions, raffles, and live music (+ plenty of beer, we imagine) support the staff of this Capitol Hill institution while repairs are underway following a recent fire. Great time + worthy cause = must attend.
