The resolution recognizes and honors the Friends of Mitchell Park on their 20th anniversary for their significant contributions to preserving and enhancing Mitchell Park, a historic green space in the District of Columbia. Established in 1992 by community members Holly Sukenik and Betsy Santarlasci, the Friends of Mitchell Park has worked tirelessly to restore the park, which was originally donated to the District by Elizabeth Mitchell in 1918.

The resolution highlights the organization's role in maintaining the park's historical significance, as it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and acknowledges their successful community events that foster neighborhood engagement. The Friends of Mitchell Park is celebrated as a model of community-led stewardship, demonstrating exceptional dedication to providing a safe and beautiful gathering space for residents of the Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood. The resolution takes effect immediately, marking a significant milestone in the organization's history.
