Jane and Calvin Cafritz graciously hosted Trees for Georgetown in their beautifully tented garden on a sun dappled Sept. 10 evening. Christi Cline and Frank Babb Randolph co-chaired the event. As guests enjoyed abundant hors d’oeuvres served by Occasions Caterers, Chair Betsy Emes thanked the hosts: Ben Johnson, who had provided green logoed Scout shopping bags, Casey Trees and “everyone who has taken care of trees.” Trees for Georgetown’s purpose is to plant and maintain the trees that line residential streets. Working as a committee of The Citizens Association of Georgetown since 1989, the volunteer group has planted nearly 2,000 trees, contracted watering services during drought periods and provided preventative maintenance of at-risk trees.
