about Chevy Chase Citizens Association
In
1909 residents of Chevy Chase DC established a citizens association
to work together on matters of public interest. We've been doing it
ever since. In addition to a monthly newsletter and this Web site, we
sponsor or co-sponsor activities that foster community and improve
the quality of life in our neighborhood and our city, and we organize
programs on the third Tuesday of each month from September through
May to bring to the community subjects of importance.
During
our 2011-12 year, our activities included sponsoring
annual events, such as Chevy Chase DC Day in the fall and a Chevy
Chase DC Garden Tour in the spring. In addition, we co-sponsored a
candidates’ forum and a community shredding event. We also
organized exhibitions of local artists, maintained the rain garden at
the Chevy Chase Community Center, planted annuals on Connecticut
Avenue, and participated in the Halloween Spooktacular. Our programs
focused on topics like public safety, wildlife gardening, and
facilitating difficult family conversations about the aging process,
and they featured speakers such as Mayor Vincent Gray, Ward 3
Councilmember Mary Cheh, Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser, and the
NW
Current’s
Publisher Davis Kennedy. [Click HERE for a complete list of our
2011-12 highlights.]
An
important continuing project supported by CCCA is helping to revive
the open spaces around the Chevy Chase Community Center and Library
following the renovation of the Community Center. Other on-going
activities include our Neighborhood Watch Program and our Garden
Club.
We
hope you will take the time to fill out a membership application. All
of our activities and work are carried out by volunteers, so if you
can help on an occasional basis, please be sure to check that box on
the application. Membership dues are used primarily for communication
expenses, the largest of which is the printing and mailing of the
Chevy Chase Citizens Newsletter which, along with this Web site and a
weekly column in the NW
Current,
attempts to keep members up to date on matters of interest or concern
in Chevy Chase, DC.
