Na het grote succes van vorig jaar vieren we het opnieuw op de Nederlandse Ambassade. Op verzoek van velen gaat het feest dit jaar een uur langer door! Dus nog meer tijd om bij te praten, te dansen en te genieten op het feest dat ieder jaar vele Nederlanders en vrienden van Nederland uit de Washington D.C. regio samenbrengt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Er is een open bar, Nederlandse snacks en voor wie wil, een raffle met mooie (en grote) prijzen. De muziek wordt verzorgd door een live band en een DJ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 21.333334px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Op zaterdag 25 april organiseert De Nederlandse School in Bethesda, in samenwerking met de Nederlandse Ambassade en D.C.

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Het programma zit boordevol: doe mee aan de koningsspelendans, zing het Wilhelmus, speel oud-Hollandse spelletjes en laat je schminken. Op de vrijmarkt kun je snuisteren kopen en verkopen en bij de marktkraam vind je een selectie aan Nederlandse producten. Kom met honger want er zijn oranje cupcakes, saté, vegetarische hapjes en poffertjes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Een mooie gelegenheid om samen met je kinderen te genieten van de Nederlandse cultuur en tradities. Trek je oranje outfit aan dan zien we je graag op 25 april.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Dutch, is organizing a festive Dutch King's Day afternoon full of Dutch traditions for children and their parents.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Please note:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;this event is separate from our Dutch King's Day celebration on April 24.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The program is packed: sing along to the Dutch national anthem, play traditional Dutch games, and get your face painted. Browse the flea market and stop by the market stall for a selection of Dutch products. Come hungry — there are orange cupcakes, satay, vegetarian bites, and poffertjes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;A good opportunity to enjoy Dutch culture and traditions together with your children.

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Onze partner de Nederlandse Ambassade organiseert een speciale 4 mei herdenking in Washington D.C. Want ook ver van huis staan Nederlanders stil bij hen die vielen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De ceremonie omvat een kranslegging, twee minuten stilte en een receptie met lichte versnaperingen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 21.333334px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;De Ambassade heeft D.C. Dutch uitgenodigd om namens alle Nederlanders in de DMV-regio een krans te leggen. Een grote eer en we willen jou hiervoor uitnodigen. Geïnteresseerd? Meld je aan vóór 28 april.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 21.333334px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beknopt programma:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Kransleggingen en toespraken&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;14:00 uur: Twee minuten stilte&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Muziek en gedicht&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#1F272B" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;15:30: Einde ceremonie en receptie&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 21.333334px; line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Laten we samen stilstaan bij wie we niet mogen vergeten en de Nederlanders uit de DMV-regio vertegenwoordigen op 4 mei.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The ceremony includes a wreath laying, two minutes of silence, and a reception with light refreshments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;The Embassy has invited D.C. Dutch to lay a wreath on behalf of all Dutch people in the DMV region.
