The Princess program started in 1948, and is an educational and cultural exchange program with Japan. College age (19-24) women from every state and territory spend a week in DC experiencing a unique Washington experience. They have tea at the Japanese embassy, visit museums, spend a day on Capitol Hill with their state representatives, and meet with the First Lady at the White House.
The young women are chosen by their state society to represent their state! While out and about in DC they wear their state sash and welcome opportunities to talk with the public, especially people from their home states!
The Princess program is unique in that it unites women from every state with the international princesses that are invited to join the program. On the final day one lucky princess will win a trip to Japan.

Step into the world of rock 'n roll history this weekend at O Museum in the Mansion, where May Pang will showcase an exclusive collection of photographs from her time with John Lennon during the iconic "Lost Weekend." This unique exhibit unveils moments captured during the 18-month affair that took place in Los Angeles, a period of freedom and self-discovery for Lennon.
At just 19, May Pang found herself thrust into the role of personal assistant to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But as Lennon and Ono’s relationship began to crumble, Ono introduced Pang as Lennon’s temporary lover. The "Lost Weekend" was more than just a romantic entanglement—it was a transformative time for Lennon, who immersed himself in L.A.'s vibrant music scene and began to rebuild his bond with his estranged son, Julian.
This captivating exhibit will feature three never-before-seen photos of Lennon, along with additional images that document their time together. According to Pang, these images offer an intimate look at Lennon during a time of personal growth—capturing him in a relaxed, sober state as he reconnected with his music and his own sense of self. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience rock history through the lens of a woman who was there, witnessing it all.
