Lafayette Parent's band Brulee on September 27

Join Lafayette parents Aura Kanegis (Kai and Zola's mom) and Louis Matza (Freya's dad) when their band Brûlée returns to the neighborhood at Villain and Saint in Bethesda, MD (7141 Wisconsin Ave), 8 PM this Thursday, September 27. This great music venue less than 10 minutes from Lafayette is the perfect place to grab a tasty bite from chef Robert Wiedmaier and take in a great mix of original and cover tunes that bounce from bossa to soul to funky alt-pop. Kids are welcome, and there's free parking next door at the Women's market after 5 PM. We hope to see you there!

If your child didn’t get into the Flex tennis class of her/his/your choice and has time available at 4:30 or 5:30 in the afternoon for exercise and fun on Monday through Thursday or 3:30 and 4:30 on Friday, they can still join the Lafayette Tennis program on a prorated basis by going to www.LafayetteTennis.org and finding a class hour that fits their skill level and age. We offer valet service with CLS for all those classes. Tennis is a game you can play for life with your family and friends.
