Norton to Speak at D.C. Federation of Civic Associations 87th Annual Awards Ceremony and Scholarship Luncheon, Today
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will give remarks at the District of Columbia Federation of Civic Associations (DCFCA) 87th Annual Awards Ceremony and Scholarship Luncheon today, Saturday, February 3, 2018, at 11:00 a.m., at the Washington Navy Yard's Catering and Conference Center (1454 Parsons Ave. SE, Building 211). Students from vocational, public, private, and charter schools throughout the District of Columbia will receive awards for academic excellence, and individuals and organizations will be recognized for outstanding service to their communities. DCFCA, which is comprised of over 60 local civic associations, works within local communities to promote and further the diverse interests and needs of District residents.
"I am especially proud of the D.C. Federation of Civic Associations, one of our city's oldest and important organizations, older than home rule itself," Norton said. "Today with my work in Congress, I need the energy of DCFCA, now than ever, in my efforts to protect D.C. home rule from attacks by an all-Republican government while I continue to bring economic incentives home and strive for D.C. statehood."
