It was established in 2013 by the Old Naval Hospital Foundation to celebrate the contributions made by Nicky and Steve Cymrot to the Capitol Hill community. The event benefits nonprofit organizations by helping them recruit potential volunteers as well as network with other nonprofits. It also benefits members of the community by helping them match their skills and interests to the needs of the organizations. Meet at the Hill Center on April 29, for this unique event, and to play a greater role in the vitality of our community! | |  Ibero-America Film Showcase 2017 The Association of Cultural Attachés of Ibero-American countries is sponsoring the Ibero-America Film Showcase 2017.
