Membership You are invited to join the Citizens Association of Georgetown – an organization that is in the
forefront of making Georgetown a better and safer place to live. With your support, and through the efforts
of our staff and many dedicated volunteers, CAG plays a key role in making Georgetown a wonderful community. Meetings, Social Events & Concerts During the past year CAG held a wide range of interesting meetings and programs. In February we hosted a panel of experts on Historic Preservation. We also heard from Georgetown authors Frida Burling and Kitty Kelley. We had important meetings with Deputy Mayor Robert Bobb and Councilman Jack Evans. At other meetings we heard from officials regarding the Georgetown Waterfront Park and the “inside story” about bringing baseball back to DC from Sports Commissioner Mark Tuohey. Journalist Sally Quinn alerted members to homeland security and emergency preparedness issues at the November meeting. And in December we had a fabulous holiday concert by the Duke Ellington Show Choir. CAG again produced three wonderful Summer Concerts in the Parks and also developed a new Merchant Discount Program for members. Advocacy, Historic Preservation, and Issues We continue to monitor and work on initiatives to reduce the negative impact of late night bar activities
that threaten the community’s safety, cleanliness, peace and quiet. CAG keeps residents informed about
Georgetown University’s 10-year master plan and works with other community groups to have neighborhood
concerns addressed as part of the BZA review process. We have been very involved in helping the Georgetown
Waterfront Park become a reality. And numerous expert CAG volunteers spend long hours (and days!) effectively
representing CAG on historic preservation, ABC, traffic, parking and other community issues. CAG has recently published an informative brochure on the ins and outs of Historic Preservation procedures and mailed it to
everyone in Georgetown.
Newsletter, Public Safety Program and Volunteering CAG membership is strong: we ended 2006 with over 1100 members. Our award-winning newsletter continues to
be a very timely and entertaining publication. The CAG Public Safety program (which includes the Neighborhood Guards) is operating at a sustainable level and
making the community safer. CAG is one of the most effective and influential civic groups in the region. With your help, active involvement, and support,
we can preserve the historic character and uniqueness of our community and enhance its livability.
