Welcome to Georgetown Village!

Georgetown Village(GV), is a non-profit organization providing services and programs in Georgetown, Burleith, and nearby neighborhoods. GV was established to help our neighbors age in place by providing them with a variety of support services and social programming. We work with trained volunteers and professional service providers to meet our members’ needs.

Georgetown Village is part of a growing network of similar communities nationwide, including seven in the Washington, DC, area, in which neighbors are helping neighbors. Our village represents the new face of aging-in-place that allows Village members to live full lives in their own homes with the assistance of their neighbors who serve as our trained, vetted volunteers.

Come be part of a caring, supportive community.

The Georgetown Village office is located on the second floor of St. John’s Rectory at 3238 O Street, NW. The office is staffed by our Executive Director, Lynn Golub-Rofrano, and volunteers, Monday through Friday, from 10 am - 6 pm. Be sure to call before you stop by in case we are out helping other members!

Book Discussion Group Chooses Ill Fares the Land by Tony Judt

Tony Judt argues that something is profoundly wrong with the way we think about how we should live today. In Ill Fares The Land, Tony Judt, one of our leading historians and thinkers, reveals how he believes we have arrived at this moment in history. He argues that following the economic collapse of 2008, we need to address our common needs to find a way forward, we must look to our not so distant past and to social democracy in action: to re-enshrining fairness over mere efficiency.

I am sure this book will provoke much thought and discussion and I hope you will read it and join us, even if you haven't joined us for one of our book discussions in the past! The Contemporary Book Discussion Group is open to Georgetown Village members who choose to read all the books, or just want to read one that catches their interest and join us for that particular discussion.

We will be discussing this book on July 9, and I have arranged for copies to be available for purchase at a discount for Georgetown Village members from Politics & Prose. Tell them you are with Georgetown Village Book Group to get the 20% discount.
