\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to receive the distinction from Washington City Paper<\/i> for Best Gadfly and to be associated with a rich legacy. In ancient Greece, Socrates called himself the Gadfly who stings the Steed of State to provoke elected officials to carry out the responsibilities of elective office. In Dupont Circle, it is a full-time job.\u201d DelleDonne said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Editor Mitch Ryals notes DelleDonne established the neighborhood listserv HearUsNow! to encourage discussion of neighborhood civic issues. \u201cIt\u2019s like talking over the backyard fence where everyone can join in the discussion,\u201d DelleDonne said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DelleDonne is a founder of the neighborhood civic association Dupont East Civic Action Association, a 501\u00a93 non-profit corporation, where the mission is community engagement and civic action. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to all in the community for your dedicated, tireless efforts. You make our comunity great. Your names are written on our heart,\u201d DelleDonne said.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
