If you saw CBS Sunday morning this past Sunday there was a wonderful story about a non profit Musicians on Call that goes into hospitals to play music for patients. You could see how happy those few moments were for them. We are hosting an amazing musical evening on Wednesday, June 13th for A Musical Heart, a group very similar to Musicians on Call. This DC based nonprofit, founded and directed by Nina Falk, a violinist and violist formerly with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and now with Opera Lafayette, Folger Consort, Bethlehem Bach Festival as well as Arcovoce Chamber Ensemble, will give a short talk and answer your questions about the music they bring to hospices in the area. Along with cellist Jodi Beder they with play some pieces from Bach and a short piece by a 17th century Italian composer Marco Uccellini. We are going to contribute a percentage of our sales that evening so we hope lots of you will attend. You are certainly welcome to donate if you are unable to join us. This event is from 5:30-7:30.
We will be serving drinks and little bites and we would so appreciate if on your way home you would stop in and enjoy some beautiful music while helping those among us living out their last days. Makes the world a little bit better.

Speaking of CBS, many thanks to all of you who came to Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th when we hosted Rita Braver. She had lots of interesting things to say and we all agreed she was and is something very special in the crazy world of journalism these days.
Off the Rack will be back with more fantastic guests in October so we hope you have a wonderful summer vacation!
Don’t forget we have Monies here through the month of June and there are still some great pieces for sale including that awesome gold necklace and bracelet in the first picture!
Don’t forget those dads out there! Pick up some great gifts for them right here at U7!
As many of you know, Planet for fall has started to ship and we already have
some favorites:
This two tone rib comes in black and white as shown, marine blue with a black stripe, and cherry with a black stripe.
This sweater named Blocks is available in this army combo and heather gray combo.
And here is my favorite: Heartbeat which comes in black with white, heather gray with black and marine blue with black. Beautiful in any combination.
We have lots of fall Planet stock in all the fabrications: knits, vegan leather, matte jersey, scuba, french terry and the fabulous cotton shirts including the smock shirt, back again by popular demand.
This time the smock shirt, that has pockets, comes in black, white, indigo blue and black and white pinstripes. It is a fabulous shirt and comes in size 1 and 2.
Lastly, CONGRATULATIONS to the Washington DC Capitals for winning the Stanley Cup!
