Join Scooby and Cesar in Washington, DC, for the
2nd Annual National Family Pack Walk
Scooby-Doo, Cesar Millan and friends are headed to the National Mall in Washington, DC on September 29th, 2012 for the 2nd Annual National Family Pack Walk event. This is not your average walk in the park; they will be walking to save the lives of dogs at this year’s event.
“The idea of Pack Walk—all of us moving together in the same direction—should be part of our everyday lives. As a country, we tend to walk away from each other. But we need to be walking in one direction, toward a common outcome, helping one another. I know it sounds simple, but it’s very meaningful.” – Cesar Millan
Cesar Millan will kick-off the event with a one mile Pack Walk. Upon completion of the walk, attendees will return to the event area for an afternoon filled with fun, mystery, education and much more presented by Scooby-Doo, Mutt-i-grees®, North Shore Animal League and other partners.

Uncork’d Art – Create Art – Drink Wine…
Uncork’d Art
www.uncorkdart.com
Why You’ll Love It
- Great social outlet for companies
- All painting supplies provided; no experience needed
- Complimentary wine
Picture it: a paintbrush in one hand, a glass of Merlot in the other. Working on homework at La Sorbonne? Nope. Just putting the wine in “unwind” thanks to Uncork’d Art’s vino-fueled painting parties.
Mom in town for a long weekend? You and the girls tired of the same old bar scene? Spend two hours layering vibrant acrylic paints onto canvas as you sip robust reds or refreshing whites. Or make it a creative team-building activity for an organization you’re in. Who knows what mini masterpieces (and friendships) you might create? (Psst. The wine will help.)

Why You’ll Love It
- Perfect for pre-theater meals
- Family-owned and -operated
- Serving specialities from the South of France
When did French food get so ‘fancy’? Just because you can’t pronounce some of the menu items (ahem, grosses crevettes et St-Jaques rôties) doesn’t mean you won’t love the classic flavors of Southern France.
At Bistro D’oc, Chef Bernard Grenier and his family have created an enclave of French flavor and flair. From the chic cafe ambiance to the genuinely nice staff and—it practically goes without saying—stunningly good food, this DC treasure certainly has that je ne sais quoi.
