SNEAK PEAK: ‘THE TREAT LADY,’ STARRING MARY FARRAN
THE LINCOLN PARK NEWSLETTER: SHHHHH! Don’t share on social media, but you can watch this exclusive Lincoln Park Newsletter link.
THE DOC IS OUT! LINCOLN PARK DOGS DEBUT
Zach’s big film of Mary Farran can be seen here
By Zach Cusson
I am beyond excited to share the completed film. I'd recommend watching it on a laptop if you can as some of the images are exceptionally pretty and deserve to be seen on a bigger screen :)
You can watch it here:
Please feel free to send it to your family and to James so he can post it in the newsletter. The only thing I ask is PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I know you said you aren't on Facebook but just make sure that when James shares the link he makes sure to note that as well.
I'm not sure what the rules are...but I'd prefer to not have it shared in a super public space until they announce the winners. I'd hate to be disqualified for something like that!
Here are the rules for the contest. https://theartofdocumentary.com/short-documentary-competition
I just want to thank you once again for the time you've given me Mary. You are truly a wonderful, kind, and inspiring human being. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you more and telling your story. I really hope you enjoy watching it! Please let me know what you think :)
ENJOY!

THE EXCLUSIVE NEWSLETTER SERVING LINCOLN PARK
*People Living Actively Near Their Site *
All subscribers to The Lincoln Park Newsletter become automatic members of FRIENDS OF CAPITOL HILL PARKS, the largest volunteer charitable organization serving Lincoln Park, Washington, DC, Mary Farran, president, chairwoman, CEO and Lincoln Park mayor-for-life.
Friends of Capitol Hill Parks aka PLANTS is Lincoln Park’s largest charitable organization and conducts its activities in coordination with the National Park Service, which controls and manages Lincoln Park. PLANTS’ partnership with NPS began in 2017, making it the oldest Friends group serving Lincoln Park. We accept no money so we are not required to be a 501(c)(3) organization. That way you also don’t have to worry about lack of accountability and wonder where your money goes. There is no overhead. All contributions are in-kind — flowers and plants purchased by members and service hours.
Member requirements are simple: Be nice to the park and nice to each other. Pick up trash when you see it and pick up after yourself, your child and your pet. Call the Park Service or Park Police if you see a problem.
If you do not want to be a free member of FRIENDS OF CAPITOL HILL PARKS, you can resign and subscribe to the newsletter and be a non-member subscriber by signing up for a very expensive, exclusive, premium over-priced pay subscription. Dogecoin is accepted. In truth, the newsletter does not really accept any money. Which is another way of saying you are not allowed to give cash to the group.
We also hold no raffles because that would require, under DC law, getting a permit. Really. What a pain. It is a violation to do so without a permit.
