Now that paper and plastic shopping bags will cost you a nickel, you might as well carry a free canvas bag with you in your car, backpack or large purse. Unless you head to the market or liquor store regularly, you'll likely need more than one tote bag, so the CCCA, along with other community associations, will be giving away our supply of totes to meeting attendees; one per adult. These bags seem pretty sturdy, the bag strap extends the length of the sac for durability and strength and the bag is a bit larger than most available elsewhere. These bags were supplied to us by the Executive Office of Mayor Fenty.

A cat's best friend. A tote with plenty of room for a bag of cat food and a bag of litter for Obama and his twin sister Elektra.
