Lisa Brown was the Host Committee chair for this year's Transformer Silent Auction: http://archive.is/3Qh7B

"Transformer’s Auction is supported by a diverse range of DC community and business leaders, as well as an illustrious Host Committee, chaired this year by: Lisa Brown, Kate Damon, Carole Feld, Izette Folger, Deborah Kalkstein, Janice Kim, Amy Kuhnert, Allison Marvin, Semi Nasseri, Dana Rooney, Juliana Stein, and Blair Wunderlich."

Thanks. I hadn't seen the previous post on this. Good research you've done, but yes, as you say, the connection to Welch remains to be made with her.

What bothers me is there's no indication where all the Browns' money might come from. I found another DC property owned by Bruce Brown but all he ever seems to have done is run a defunct promo company called Doubletake Promotions. Lisa is supposed to have had a successful corporate career according to her bio, but all I found was a tiny and also defunct A Sturdy Rock Inc. Yet they own over $4mn in DC property alone. How?

Gregory Nixon is a person of interest for me.

At DynCorp, "...he is responsible for and oversees all aspects of the legal, contracts, compliance, human resources, procurement, security, export controls and crisis management functions..." It's like he has a finger in every pie, knows all the rules and regulations, including export controls, how to procure things, all about security, and he can handle a crisis.

Also, he's a money man: "He serves as an Advisor to Tracker Capital Management LLC. He also serves on the board of UMUC Ventures. Mr. Nixon previously served as a Managing Director of Cerberus Operations and Advisory Company, the operational arm of Cerberus Capital Management. Cerberus is one of the world’s leading private equity firms, with over 60 portfolio companies and over $30 billion under management."

Is it possible to launder money by "selling" a house to someone? I'd like to know whether there's a relationship between the Browns and Nixon beyond the house transaction.

As an aside, I notice that P Street Galleries hosts children's art parties. http://archive.is/IoF8p "Reserve your child's FREE space." I do not see the "Eventbrite" link they refer to.

And the offer of a FREE space doesn't match up with the Party Packages booking page, where a child's party will cost you $400 and up. http://archive.is/VXhhq

You have to wonder what it takes to qualify for a FREE space.
