Dr. Christine M. Warnke was recognized and honored in a ceremonial resolution, sponsored by Council member Anita Bonds "for her continued advocacy and philanthropy to Washington, D.C., and its people."Â
The Council of the District of Columbia listed the many achievements of Warnke, "a native Washingtonian and lifelong resident of the District of Columbia, born to Greek immigrants."
She was honored during Women's History Month and in honor of the many Greek Americans celebrating the 200th anniversary of Greece's independence.
"I am most grateful to Council member Anita Bonds and all of the D.C. Council for this special recognition," Warnke said. "Growing up in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area gave me such a unique understanding of the value for respect of all citizens of the world."
