A turkey in every pot... sort of

Ward 8 D.C. Councilman Marion Barry’s annual turkey giveaway has some conditions attached to it this year, so listen up parents: Start paying attention to your children at least until Nov. 22, the date of the schedulde giveaway.

According to Barry’s flier, parents with school-aged kids “must attend every parent/teacher conference from October through November 2011.” They must also attend every PTA meeting during the same time period and sign a PASSport to Success contract (a parent training program). You’ve also got to be able to prove your Ward 8 residency and show how many children you have (alert, Donald Trump: Birth certificates may be required).
