Georgetown Village invites the community to hear Carol Schwartz speak about her new memoir, Quite A Life! From Defeat to Defeat and Back, on Thursday, February 8, at 6 pm at Christ Church Georgetown, 3116 O Street NW. Please call the Georgetown Village office at (202) 999-8988 to RSVP. Light refreshments will be provided. Seating for this free program is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Schwartz will talk about the history of Washington, DC, since Home Rule and give behind-the-scenes accounts of chaotic campaigns, as well as the inner-workings of government. A straight-shooter, Schwartz talks about her life with characteristic candor and her opinions with unbridled honesty—and usually with humor.
