June 11 FCA Monthly Meeting: Del. Lopez Rescheduled
Virginia Delegate Alfonso Lopez has been rescheduled to speak to our community at the monthly meeting on Wednesday, June 11, at 7 p.m. at the Fairlington Community Center, 3308 S. Stafford St., Room 134.
Del. Lopez will address a letter FCA sent in April and speak on the recent legislative session, as well as listen to community concerns.
Del. Lopez represents Virginia’s newly created 3rd District (formally 49th), which includes Fairlington. He has nearly 30 years of federal and Virginia legislative experience, including serving on Arlington County Board. Del. Lopez served as an Obama administration political appointee, Kaine administration Cabinet-level appointee, and a seven-term member of the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the people of Northern Virginia. He also served as the Majority and Minority Whip of the Virginia House Democratic Caucus from 2016-2022.
During the meeting, the FCA will also address community impacts to multimodal transportation (pedi and bus) given recent WMATA changes and recent King St. surveys conducted by the City of Alexandria. All Fairlington residents are welcome to attend.
Save the Date: Fairlington 4th of July Parade
One of Fairlington’s most popular annual events is back! Get ready for the festivities on Friday, July 4. Full details coming in the July All Fairlington Newsletter.
Bake Sale to Benefit AFAC
After the annual 4th of July Parade, join us for the Fairlington Bake Sale! All proceeds to be donated to the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). The bake sale will be held at the end of the parade at the Fairlington Villages Community Center (FVCC) parking lot, 3005 S. Abingdon St.
Over the years, Fairlington’s efforts to end hunger have raised more than $22,700. Contribute to this great cause and join in the fun by purchasing goodies for family and friends.
If you’d like to donate your favorite baked goods (please, no frostings or fillings to melt in the heat), please deliver them to the tables set up at the FVCC between 9 and 9:30 a.m., before the parade begins.
We need people to help sell at the bake sale on the Fourth. If you can help, please contact Robin Weinick at rweinick at gmail.com.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the bake sale, so please help us make an extra-generous donation to end hunger in our community – contribute lots of baked goods and come hungry!
Contribute Your Talent: Fairlington Coloring Book
Attention, artists of all ages, we need your help! The Fairlington Historical Society is developing a special Fairlington community coloring book! If you enjoy drawing, we’d be delighted to showcase your artwork in the coloring book we will distribute to children at upcoming Fairlington events. We’re looking for artwork illustrating Fairlington’s nature, activities, and landscapes.
Please email an 8.5” x 11” sized black lined drawing PDF file(s) to president at fairlingtonhistoricalsociety.org. Or deliver your artwork to the Fairlington Villages Management Office at 3001 S. Abingdon St (temporarily in the Fairlington Villages Community Center next door).
If you’d like to receive credit for your artwork, please include your name in the email or attach a note to the piece you drop off. We are excited to receive all final artwork by the end of the summer. We aim to have the coloring book ready for distribution in September.
