Connect & Socialize
The Georgetown University Association of Retired Faculty and Staff (GUARFS) provides a number of opportunities throughout the year for retirees to connect with each other, enjoy cultural events and socialize. These include:
- guided tours of museums, galleries, and other sites of cultural and historical interest in the area; and
- luncheon meetings with featured speakers from the Georgetown community.
We offer a mix of in-person and virtual events. Not a paid-up member? Click here to join or pay your dues. Sign-up information will be sent in the GUARFS newsletter and special announcement emails will be sent in the GUARFS newsletter and special announcement emails.
Kreeger Museum Docent Led Tour
Many of us have driven on Foxhall Road and seen, but never visited, the Kreeger Museum, home of David and Carmen Kreeger. Designed in 1963 by Philip Johnson and Richard Foster, the building sits on five acres and is surrounded by gardens and terraces filled with sculpture.
For information about the Kreeger Museum and its collection, click here (new window). We have organized a docent led tour of the museum to be held on Thursday, April 4th at Noon. Cost for the tour is $10 per person. Dues paying members and a guest are invited to register. Deadline for making a reservation is March 19th or when all tickets have been sold.
There is limited free parking on the museum grounds. There is handicapped parking in the circular forecourt in front of the museum. The museum suggests considering shared-ride or public transit services. The closest Metro stop is Tenleytown-AU and the nearest bus stops are on the D2, D6, and N4 lines. If you would like to be connected with other retirees who are interested in carpooling, that is an option and you can so indicate on your reservation.
We will also coordinate a lunch following the museum visit for those interested. Each person will be responsible for the cost of their own lunch. We would meet at Chef Geoff’s on 3201 New Mexico Avenue NW, only a 6-minute drive from the Kreeger. If interested in having lunch with colleagues after the tour, you can indicate this on your reservation. We expect to be at Chef Geoff’s around 1:45 pm. There is free parking at the restaurant.
