Theodore Roosevelt High School Public Service Project

Our chapter is embarking on a very important and exciting public service project involving Theodore Roosevelt Senior High School, 4301 13th Street, NW, Washington DC 20011.

We expect to be involved in a number of initiatives over time, but our initial focus will be on supporting the school's library. There are four ways (outlined below) that you can assist in this effort. Please give generously; the need is great and we want to do all we can to make an impact.

Thank you for your generosity.


1. Donate new books by, about or related to Theodore Roosevelt (details follow);

2. Donate a new or GENTLY used DVD player and/or television;

3. Donate new or GENTLY used books from the DC Public Schools "Read Across DC" list (details follow); or

4. Contribute to the chapter. Your donation will be used to purchase books not received directly from members.


If there is a specific book you would like to donate, please send an email to info@capitalareatra.org or contact chapter secretary, Tely Psitos, at 703-978-0258. This will help us keep a balanced inventory so we don't end up with multiple copies of some books and none of others.

We will have a book collection at our annual dinner on Saturday, June 21, 2008. We hope that most books will be donated in this manner; however, we will be happy to receive mailed copies or arrange to pick-up books. If you can't bring a book with you to the annual dinner, please send an email to info@capitalareatra.org or contact chapter secretary, Tely Psitos, at 703-978-0258.

Donations can be mailed to Capital Area Chapter TRA, 1405 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005

Thank you for participating in this worthwhile endeavor.
