Annual Garden Brunch

At the annual garden brunch, guests were invited to write thank-you notes for American servicemen and women. The notes were posted in multiple spots throughout the Beall-Washington House and were to be sent to troops in Afghanistan. The event honored two military-related organizations: Blue Star Families, which supports military families, and Dog Tag Bakery, a bakery in Georgetown that teaches business skills to veterans.
