My Fairfax 50 ( #14) - Juneteenth in the City!
Reflection. Celebration. Commitment.
Starting at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and ending the day at the Sherwood Center, Juneteenth offered our city time to reflect on our collective history, to celebrate Black resilience, and to re-commit to a better future where "WE the people" includes everyone!

Thank you, Mt. Calvary and the RRG, Fairfax City Parks and Recreation, the Juneteenth Committee, volunteers, and all who shared their amazing talents to elevate the true meaning of this holiday!

My Fairfax 50 ( #13) - Major Celebration Edition
Congratulations to Fairfax City Fire Chief, John O'Neal on his retirement!
Talk about leaving a place better than you found it, the entire city has benefited from the long list of contributions that mark Chief O'Neal's legacy. Aside from being a great leader for our fire first responders, turns out he is also a truly warm and kind human being with a rather sly wit! 😁

Chief O'Neal, I am honored our paths have crossed, and I wish you all the best in your next phase of life!

My Fairfax 50 - Special Edition ( #12) Youth Sports Forum

More conversations need to happen like the first-of-its-kind Youth Sports Forum last night. In collaboration with Councilmember Billy Bates and with the generous support of former Councilmember Jon Stehle, we were able secure nationally-recognized guest from the Aspin Institute and a youth sports author and advocate to facilitate a discussion around what we envision in the City of Fairfax, framed by the Children's Bill of Rights in Sports. Thank you to panelists from the Fairfax Police Youth Club, Little League, Parks and Rec Advisory Board, our Parks and Rec director and facilities scheduling. Much appreciation to all who attended.

After the formal event ended, great commitment and responsiveness was demonstrated by a more specific discussion where the openness of FPYC was matched by the passion and determination of community parents. What's important is what happens next in the spirit of starting where we are and collaboratively working towards a better future without sacrificing the city's position on broad sports accessibility.

It is an honor as a councilmember to host spaces where challenging conversations can potentially lead to respectful communication and impactful new collaborations.

My Fairfax 50! #11 - Spotlight on the Arts at the Stacy C. Sherwood Community Center.

Make no mistake: A city that honors the arts in all forms, honors the rich dimensionality of the the human experience! Once again, it is my privilege to witness the vast talent we have in and around our city. At the kickoff, the visual art pieces were inspired, while the musical performances were moving. So impressed with the gifts our youth have to offer the world.

Also, delighted to attend this event at the Community Center that in the future will be part of the Willard-Sherwood complex unanimously supported by city council on 4/28. So many wonderful events, services, and ongoing opportunities for the community to "Live Life Connected" will happen HERE!

My Fairfax 50! This 10th highlight is the annual Home for Life Expo at the Sherwood Center hosted by the Village in the City on April 10th!

So grateful to have a husband who was willing to kickoff his birthday by serving others! Also honored to have been a Silver-level sponsor for this event which showcased resources, lectures, and community information aimed at helping older and/or dependent adults stay safely in their homes and in our city.

Did you know that for quite some time, our Village was the only one in the nation supported by its local jurisdiction and not membership fees? We are still one of only three with this model, demonstrating the GREAT WORK that happens when we invest in supportive prevention and social connection. Being the City Council liaison to the Village is one of the absolute delights of my tenure as a councilmember!

Thanks for supporting this event, Mayor Read, City Manager Dan Alexander, and Councilmember Anthony Amos! Deep appreciation to all others who exhibited and attended!!

My Fairfax 50! CIVIC CONNECTION

Today, my 9th city highlight is the kickoff of the second cohort of an exceptional engagement experience! For the next 6-7 weeks, residents and business owners will gather at various locations throughout the city and interact with our staff to learn about how our city and local government work.

Led by Jennifer Rose, Executive Director of the Central Fairfax Chambers of Commerce, this is a unique cross-departmental opportunity that enriches our community on multiple levels. It is noteworthy that 2 graduates of the first cohort will be running for city council!!

My Fairfax 50! 8 and counting at Mackenzie's Tunes & Tonics

A great "twofer!"

First, what a nice comfortable setting to catch up and have dinner with my pal Sarah White. Loved hearing about her fascinating experience an ashram in the Bahamas! Ran into a very warm and friendly group called WISE Connent who were also there having a great time socializing. Btw, I highly recommend the beef gyros as a salad...DE-LISH!

Later that same evening, Mackenzie's hosted an event for Carl Setzer who is running in Ohio's 14th District. Council members past, present (me) and hopefully our future were in attendance as Carl shared his journey from growing up in and environment of hate and fear, to running for office to serve and bring people together. Organized by former Councilmember Jon Stehle, our Mayor, Catherine Read expertly moderated this inspired event highlighting local relevance.

Many diverse experiences in one evening at an Old Town treasure!

My Fairfax 50! Week 7: Night to Shine (N2S)

This one is "Fairfax City adjacent!"

On February 13th faith communities globally sponsored a "prom night" for people aged 14 to 60+ with special needs. I was one of 72 Buddies assigned to host a guest for the evening and it was a blast!

At the Fairfax Church of Christ they had a makeup and hair styling room, shoe shine station, video game room, karaoke room, limousine rides, bowling lanes, therapy dogs, lots of food and dancing...and end of the night a crowning ceremony and huge balloon drop!!

While this event did not technically take place within the city limits, it reminds me of our regional position and how important it is to take the the time to connect with those around us!

My Fairfax 50! Week 6 at Draper's Steak & Seafood in Historic Old Town

F.F.F.S.P.!
F F & F - Friends, Food & Fun - always wonderful to reconnect with my Oxonian pal Greg Roberts and lovely his family. These days when there's a choice, I tend to insist on meeting folks at Fairfax City locations and was delighted to introduce my friends to Draper's for a pre-Super Bowl brunch!

S - Service - the hospitality came in abundance! Our server Hannah's professionalism, patience and dry humor made our morning even more fun. (Btw, "the mimosa game" was a blast!! Who knew?!)

P - Partnership - I deeply appreciate Fairfax City Economic Development's involvement with businesses like Draper's as part of their strategic work and dedication.
