The Citizens Association of Georgetown hosted its “Celebration of Georgetown” annual fundraiser — and celebrated The Georgetowner’s 70th anniversary on Sept. 20, at Coolidge House on Prospect Street. Co-chaired by Ami Aronson and Luke Russert, the elegant and end-of-summer reception welcomed more than 250 persons. You can see more photos from the event here.

A special thank you to B&B Italia on M Street, who hosted a spirited afterparty. See some photos from the event below. Photos by Greg “Fritz” Blakey and Brittany Sawyer, executive director of the Citizens Association of Georgetown.

Stay tuned for more photos in our 70th anniversary issue, out October 9!
