| Dear Friends, | ||||||||||||||
| Development
Corporation of Columbia Heights cordially invites you to participate,
to sponsor and to volunteer in our Senior
Appreciation Program at the Tivoli. As cornerstones of our community, senior citizens, particularly those who lived near the long boarded-up Tivoli Theater, deserve our gratitude for continuing to serve as the foundation holding our neighborhood together. DCCH is proud to make a special effort to thank seniors who continued to live near and for many years to walk past the long abandoned Tivoli. On June 25, 2005, we will embrace the opportunity to connect with each other and to set forth the true history of Columbia Heights. We thank you and hope that you will support with your attendance the Senior Appreciation Program from 3 to 7 pm at the Tivoli Theater. Our program includes food, gospel, inspirational speaking, dance, prizes and more. Guided tours of the Tivoli will be held from 2:00PM to 4:00PM. A Reception will begin at 4PM and the Entertainment Program starts at 5PM. If you would like to volunteer your assistance for this special event, please contact us at 202-483-4986. Help to make a difference for Columbia Heights' Senior Citizens! |
