DCCA’s October 9th membership meeting will be held at the
National Museum of American Jewish Military History, which is at 1811 R
St., NW. The Museum has invited people to come early--at 7 pm--and tour
the exhibits (their docents will be there). Please note that this meeting
is on the second, rather than the first, Monday of the month.)
Our speaker will be Judge Harold L. Cushenberry, Jr., Associate Judge of the District of Columbia Superior Court. Judge Cushenberry was appointed to the Superior Court by President Reagan in 1986. He currently serves as the Presiding Judge of the Criminal Division. Judge Cushenberry is a graduate of Harvard College and, in 1975, the Georgetown University Law Center. He worked at the Federal Trade Commission from 1975 to 1977 and then joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where he served in various divisions. In addition, Judge Cushenberry taught criminal procedure as an adjunct professor at the Howard University School of Law from 1983 to 1988. The National Museum of American Jewish Military History was chartered by an Act of Congress in 1958. The Museum documents and preserves the contributions of Jewish Americans to the peace and freedom of the United States, educates the public concerning the courage, heroism and sacrifices made by Jewish Americans who served in the armed forces, and works to combat anti-Semitism. Exhibits and educational programs explain the role of American Jews in the armed forces throughout American history and document other contributions by Jewish American veterans to America's cultural, social and political history. Our host at the museum will be Mary L. Westley, the museum’s Assistant Administrator. The Dupont Circle Citizens Association (DCCA) was founded in 1922 “to promote and protect the interests of the residents of the neighborhood.” Our area is a lively mix of homes, embassies, restaurants, shops, and galleries —and one of the city’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods.
These
qualities are no accident. The unparalleled quality of living the
neighborhood provides is the result of countless volunteer activities
carried out by generations of Dupont Circle Citizens Association members.
DCCA is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting interests
of the residents of our neighborhoods. For more information dupont-circle.com |
