D.C. Children at Capitol for United Planning Organization’s Annual Holiday Event, Today
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will attend the United Planning Organization Annual Capitol Hill Holiday event for underprivileged children at the Capitol today, Thursday, December 17, 2015, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., in 345 Cannon House Office Building. At this festive event, Norton will talk to the children about their special relationship to Congress and the efforts to win equal rights for District of Columbia residents by becoming the 51st State. Norton will also greet Santa and Mrs. Claus, who have come to this event bearing gifts for the children ever since Norton has served in Congress.
"We often welcome our residents, particularly our children, to the Capitol, where our work has a uniquely direct impact on their daily lives, because all of D.C.'s local business passes through Congress," Norton said. "We look forward to joining other Members of Congress today who have helped us with our work for equal rights for D.C., to welcome our children, enrich their experience, and answer questions."
