Invasive plant clean-up at DH:
Last month we had our first volunteer day to clean up invasive plant species on the DH properties, which includes the Inscoe house just adjacent to the parking lot. Efforts are being led by the local branches of the Audubon Society, Tree Stewards of Arlington/Alexandria, Arlington Regional Master Naturalists (ARMN), and Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN).
Our next clean-up day will be Monday, July 31 from 10 am – Noon.
Meet at the top of the DH main parking lot at 10 am on Monday, July 31.
We plan to continue clearing the honeysuckle on the north side of the stream where we’ve already made great progress. Volunteers will also be working pulling invasive Japanese stilt grass before it goes to seed near the stream.
We recommend gloves, eye protection, long pants, long sleeves, plenty of water, and a fantastic attitude.
New Games!
We do have a new game for families with younger kids at the front desk, “Flying Disk Ring Toss”!
The rules are basic, and it’s similar to cornhole.
Plant two stakes in the ground, at whatever distance seems good for your family. Divide into two teams and each team picks a disc color. Stand at one stake and take turns tossing a flying disc at the other stake. the team who lands their discs closest to the stake wins the round!
The game is available for sign-out at the front desk with your name and membership number!
Weather
It’s going to be a warm, muggy, first week of August, so come up to cool off!! With the predictably unpredictable summer storms passing through, popping up in the late afternoon or evening, make sure to check the weather before you come over.
Remember: Swim Early, Swim Often!!

It’s the middle of Summer, the DH Thunder Ducks swim & dive teams have wrapped up their seasons and many of us will be heading out on vacation. Some to the beach, some to the mountains, and some to our in-laws. So far, we’ve had some great events for little ones, big ones, and adults and, we’re excited that we have more to come.Sunday, July 24 we had our first ever Champagne Adult Brunch & Swim at the pool. We got great feedback, enjoyed a morning cocktail, meeting new folks, and taking a dip in the pool. Definitely a win and something the board will be hosting again.
This Wednesday, July 26, is staff night at the pool, a way to say Thank You to the young team members, many of whom are heading back to college in the coming weeks. If you see a staff member, thank them!!
