CHRS participated in this year’s Capitol Hill Community 4th of July parade on Barracks Row. As per usual, it was hot and sunny and a fun time filled with neighbors and community. We handed out over 1000 CHRS-branded lollipops!
On Friday, October 31. form 4:30-6:30 pm, CHRS will host a children’s activity table at Hilloween, an annual free street party outside of Eastern Market. We’ll have beads to string, CHRS trick-or-treat bags, and other goodies. It’s great fun to meet with our neighbors and share our mission. Come join us!
As part of our ongoing celebrations of our 70th anniversary, we made the summer Membership Meeting a little more fun! The meeting itself was held in the chapel at Congressional Cemetery on June 7, 2025 . Festivities included a walking tour and an ice cream truck.
This was a members-only event.
