Happy May everyone!
We have three key things for your FCF radar this month:
1. Join or Die Movie Premiere – Our very own Pete Davis made an award-winning documentary about the importance of joining a club and being engaged in your community. Join us and other neighbors at the Falls Church premiere this Sunday at 2 pm at Meridian High School – get free tickets here.
And come join us for bowling at Bowl America at 4:30pm after the movie. Feel free to join even if you can't make it to the film.
2. Save the date-- Solstice S'mores. Join us at the Cherry Hill Park pavilion on June 21st 5-8pm as we celebrate the beginning of Summer, and share our favorite books of the year. Feel free to bring friends along!
3. We've selected our activities for the year-- thank you to everyone who filled out the survey and offered to volunteer. Our main activities will include:
Leave the leaves info campaign
Welcome packet for new neighbors
Organizing volunteers for asphalt art projects
We still aim to have a summer hang out (with a different theme from lentils), hopefully revamp kidical mass, and if there's time, organize a walking/biking food tour.
If you want to join the fun, but didn't already sign up to volunteer, just reply to this email with which projects you'd like to work on.
