The Big Meow is the story of an ever-hopeful fluffball who desperately wants to belong to the band of neighborhood cats, but is ostracized for a “loud as a lion’s roar” meow. The Big Meow is a story of hope, disappointment, courage and the need for belonging. These simple themes are part of every neighborhood, but in this wonderful tale told through the experiences of Little Cat, a potential weakness is a unique strength.

Summer co-op for children ages 18 months to 4 years Feb 12, 2017 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM Macomb Recreation Center (in front of the classroom under the awning), by admin
Parents with children ages 18 months to 4 years: Last year thirteen parents in and around the Glover Park neighborhood came together to start up a summer co-operative at Macomb Recreation Center (near the National Cathedral). The program was designed to offer affordable and quality summer enrichment program for children who do not meet the age requirements of many summer camps in the District of Columbia. It was partially subsidized by DC's Department of Parks and Recreation. The summer program was a great success. But at the same time, we also know that we had to turn away several families because demand exceeded space. This year, we want to ensure that more families can join the summer co-op. We will open three locations this summer to meet this demand. Macomb, Hamilton, and Hardy Rec Centers are slated to open in summer 2017. For details, go to: www.youngunscoop.weebly.com If you are interested in signing up for the summer co-op 2017, we will have an info session on Sunday, February 12 at 10 AM, at Macomb Recreation Center (3409 Macomb Street NW) -- near the National Cathedral. We will meet in front of the classroom under the awning. If you have any questions, please contact me at my info below.
