Citizens Celebrate Georgetown and The Georgetowner
By • October 9, 2024 0 337
The Citizens Association of Georgetown hosted its “Celebration of Georgetown” annual fundraiser — to celebrate 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.
With an after party at B&B Italia on M Street, the spirited event was a homecoming of sorts with many guests happy to see their neighbors — and brought together the longest-running civic association in the country, the town’s newspaper and the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, which occupies the former home of Sen. Claiborne Pell.
