About this event
Join the DC Village Collaborative’s first official city-wide event, our kick-off celebration, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 28th, starting at 12p noon and hosted by Georgetown Village. It is an outdoor event with tents.
Event objectives are:
- Celebrate the launch of the DC Villages Collaborative in a community event that brings together DCVC's Ambassadors, current and prospective members, volunteers from all areas of DC, and key community partners and supporters.
- Raise awareness of how DCVC will enhance the Village movement and improve the well-being of older adults throughout the District through shared expertise and resources, enhanced reach, and the strength of a collective voice.
- Provide an opportunity for older adults and other community members to connect in person, build/strengthen relationships, and feel part of a robust and supportive community.
- Share information about the benefits of Villages (and how to join or support) to prospective members and partners.
We plan to transition the event into an annual city-wide activity, traveling from Village to Village—neighborhood to neighborhood. Our next stop, tentatively, is the Waterfront Village (Southwest) in 2025.
Transportation: We provide transportation "to" and "from" the event, including one stop per Village designated by the ED. Please indicate you need transportation in your RSVP.
