Dear DC Seniors:

Please join me for my first ever Senior Budget Engagement Telephone Forum designed specifically to hear from you – our senior residents.  I look forward to hearing your ideas, suggestions, and priorities for my Fiscal Year 2019 budget submission.

The Senior Budget Engagement Telephone Forum will take place on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 at noon. To RSVP, please call 202-442-8150 or visit the following website: www.engagement.dc.gov.

In addition, I will host three in-person Budget Engagement Forums across DC.  These forums are opportunities for my Administration to hear directly from residents about your community’s priorities before we finalize the budget. The forums are also an opportunity for residents to share with neighbors about the issues you care most about, and to gain insight from the experiences of other residents.

The three in person Budget Engagement Forums will take place:

Wednesday, February 21, 6:30 PM
UDC, 4200 Connecticut Avenue, NW

Thursday, February 22, 6:30 PM
Watkins Elementary School, 420 12th Street, SE

Saturday, February 24, 10:00 AM
Kramer Middle School, 1700 Q Street, SE


I look forward to hearing from you!
