Destination Washington DC
The Ugandan North American Association (UNAA) is pleased to invite you to its 23rd annual convention which will be held this coming Labor Day weekend (September 2-5, 2010) in Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States of America. Whether your family's greatest interests are political, historical, scientific, artistic or social, D.C. will keep you interested and enlightened.

History:

Washington D.C. was found in 1790 as a replacement for the eight cities, which hosted sessions of the Continental Congress. President George Washington chose the land in the District of Columbia, between Maryland and Virginia, because of its close proximity to his own property in the northern part of Virginia.

The White House:

In 1792, construction began on a Presidential Mansion to house the President of the United States. This building was significantly damaged during the war of 1912 but was soon thereafter redesigned, rebuilt and named the "White House" after the color of its exterior walls.

Attractions:

Washington D.C. is known for its monuments and its cultural and scholastic traditions. Some of the country's finest universities in the United States are located there as well as world famous cultural attractions like the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. D.C. is also home to many magnificent parks like the National Mall and memorials like the Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Other attractions in D.C. include the Capitol Building, White House, Supreme Court Building, National Archives, Constitution Hall and Library of Congress.
