The Burleith Citizens Association is being honored by the Council of the District of Columbia for its 100th anniversary, recognizing a century of dedicated service to the Burleith community and the broader District. Established in January 1925, the Association has played a pivotal role in advocating for essential infrastructure improvements, supporting local educational initiatives, and fostering community service, particularly during challenging times such as the Great Depression. Its efforts have included the development of local schools, the establishment of the Georgetown branch of the DC Public Library, and the creation of the Burleith Community Fund, which has financed various community enhancement projects.

The resolution highlights the Association's commitment to environmental stewardship, community engagement, and civic participation, noting its long-standing initiatives such as seasonal events and the publication of the Burleith Bell newsletter. As the Burleith Citizens Association celebrates its centennial in 2025, the Council commends its exemplary model of civic engagement and its significant contributions to the neighborhood and the District of Columbia as a whole. The resolution takes effect immediately, marking this important milestone in the community's history.
