The Pennsylvania Avenue Funds Launch Event-Driven Fund
Washington, DC (ContentDesk) January 7, 2004--The Pennsylvania Avenue Event-Driven Fund, a series of The Pennsylvania Avenue Funds, has launched a new mutual fund that offers investors the ability to invest in event-driven strategies.

It gives a lush, tropical air.""I will not have corn growing in my front yard."So we didn't have corn the next year. Our back yard was shaded, except for one part, and I had decided to grow roses there instead of corn.The year after that I returned to the argument: "What if we planted corn in the side yard? It gets lots of sun.""I will not have corn in my front yard.""This wouldn't be the front yard. It would be the side yard.
