Book Discussions start March 14 with The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny over a delicious Indian food dinner. We are gathering readers for discussions on additional titles pictured below this Spring. Pre-register so that YOUR availability is used to set up the schedule.  Supporting Veterans by Cornell Professor General George W. Casey, Jr. will be discussed in May, so get your copy and/or read its executive summary posted at the order page. You will give yourself an important analysis of veterans' matters so that you can contribute resourcefully to national policy needs in 2026. Contact our VP/ Community Service if you have questions.

Great news for our members with 10th and 11th graders! Cornell is receiving applications for the DC Summer Policy Institute. Rising 11th and 12 graders will attend at the Wolpe Center near Dupont Circle from July 6-17. It's a 2-week non-residential course to earn 2 college credits. Spread the word on this new program! Guidance counselors and promising students at your local high school will love learning about it.

Hunter Rawlings III, was the 10th president of Cornell (starting in 1987 and returning as interim president several times.) He lives in the DMV and will be celebrated this Spring with the establishment of a Reading Room at the Washington Latin Public Charter School. Reach CCW's president if you would like to join volunteers like Board Member Brad Orlander who will be honoring him and celebrating his legacy in 2026.
