THANK YOU
to our volunteers, staff and students for making our fourth annual Community Computer Day a success! The day featured 18 free computer workshops, delicious BBQ (thanks to grill-master Ben Freedman and 30 lbs of ribs from Colonel Brooks Tavern,), a moon bounce, cotton candy, and many VIP speakers. As a sensational kickoff, DC Cheif Technology Officer Bryan Sivak addressed the crowd and delivered a proclaimation from Mayor Fenty. Other special guests and speakers included At-Large City Councilman Phil Mendelson; First Time Computers Director Lowell Dodge; Roger Redmond, Director of Sales for Cricket Communications; and John Carpozzi from OCTO. We also wish to thank our event sponsor, Cricket Communications, as well as WMATA for use of their lovely park for our event and the Brookland CDC for loaning us tents, tables and chairs.
