We are blessed to already share a home with everything we need. Your presence at our wedding is gift enough! In lieu of wedding gifts, if you would like to make a donation to a cause close to our hearts, please see below. If you do choose an organization to support, please let Sarah and Jeff know (smeva2@gmail.com) so we can thank you! 1) Sarah has worked in refugee resettlement for over 10 years. One of the most joyful parts of welcoming refugees is apartment setup - ensuring that refugee families have a safe, well-furnished, welcoming home to start their new life. Please consider donating to a refugee resettlement organization in your area! If you're in the DMV area, Catholic Charities Diocese of Arlington's Migration and Refugee Services department has an Amazon wishlist to support their work: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/G0EPWH86L6MC/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex 2) Pancreatic cancer has impacted our families, and we support the work of the Lustgarten Foundation. Donations can be made at https://www.lustgarten.org 3) Our beloved pooch, Gizmo, was adopted in May 2021 from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA). You may wish to donate to an animal shelter in your community!
There will be a 2-hour sunset-cruise boat ride from 5:30 to 7:30pm on Friday, Sept 13. The boat will depart from the Yards Marina in Navy Yard (approximate address: 355 Water Street SE. Washington, DC 20003) -- please arrive 15-30 mins early to make sure you get on board! We recommend using the DC Metro, Uber/Lyft, or carpooling to get into DC; for those who drive, there is a pay parking lot nearby, Lot Q, at 4th + Water St SE. There is additional parking in a parking garage at 1212 Fourth Street SE. There is a bar on the boat and guests are allowed to bring snacks & drinks (anything except alcohol). We are planning to provide light snacks and sandwiches and will pick up the bar tab.
