How CAG Works for You
On behalf of all the residents of Georgetown, CAG’s board, staff and many dedicated volunteers play a key role in making Georgetown a safe and vibrant community. In 2010, we continued to strengthen the public safety program, planted many new trees, and continued our strong advocacy for the neighborhood on historic preservation, regulation of bars and restaurants, policing, trash, traffic, parking and other community issues.
We produced three Summer Concerts in the Parks, and held a wide range of interesting meetings and programs. In January we saluted
our fascinating “oral history pioneers” – the first to be interviewed. In February we met at historic Mt. Zion Methodist Church and Mary Kay Ricks talked about Escape on the Pearl:
the Heroic Bid for Freedom on the Underground Railroad. We had a special tour of
Dumbarton House in March and enjoyed an illustrated lecture about Georgetown
architecture. The anticipated impact of Georgetown University’s 10-year campus plan was
the focus of our packed April meeting. In May, Mayor Fenty and Jack Evans spoke at our annual meeting honoring outstanding Georgetowners. In the fall we had a special
reception at the newly renovated library. We had a standing-room-only crowd at the November meeting to hear about and discuss the proposed zoning changes impact on Georgetown. And we are again highlighting the artistic talents of Georgetowners at the CAG Community Art show at Georgetown Park January 27 – February 1.
CAG’s board and many volunteers have been extremely active. They are constantly
involved in key discussions and/or review boards regarding traffic, the University, parking,
trash, rodents, recycling and historic preservation – all to responsibly represent the best
interests of our over 1200 members. They have met with MPD officials regarding expanded police presence in Georgetown – especially foot patrols on our residential streets. They have
been in discussions with the Office of Planning to discuss and shape the new zoning
regulations that will affect Georgetown’s open-space and development. Our ABC committee
has successfully negotiated critical voluntary agreements with bars and restaurants – and successfully worked to have the ABC moratorium renewed for five years.
Your membership dues ensure that we can continue our programs and advocacy into 2011 and launch new efforts.
Members receive our newsletter, that continues to inform and delight, as well as access to the expanded CAG Priority Merchant Program offering exclusive discounts at neighborhood stores and restaurants. Our website is full of useful information and our GeorgetownForum listserv provides an online community “bulletin board.”
CAG membership is strong (we ended 2010 with over 1,220 members), and this year we would like to welcome even more Georgetowners to CAG. With your help, active involvements, and support, we can preserve the historic character and uniqueness of our community and enhance its livability. Please complete the enrollment form and mail it along with your membership dues today. Or you can now pay dues online using the Pay Now button on this page. We look forward to sending you the new 2011 CAG Priority Merchant card!
