Crosswalk Projects, Next Social, and Summer ☀️

Happy Summer, Falls Church Forward!

We're so close to 500 members strong so refer a friend to join us and get us to that milestone! We've got a lot of fun plans for the rest of summer so read on... And if you want to work on an idea that fits within our pillars, we'd love to hear it.
  Crosswalk painting

Mother Nature just isn't cooperating so we've again rescheduled the Eden Center crosswalk painting project to Saturday June 14, 7 am - weather permitting. And we'll also help refresh the rainbow crosswalks at the City Hall campus on Sunday June 15, 8 am in celebration of Pride Month. Reply if you'd like to join us in either/both of these fun, hands on projects. (For the Eden Center crosswalk project, since we'll be working right next to Wilson/Saigon Blvd, we ask that only adults join us please.)

 

   Next Happy Hour / "Restaurant Takeover" - June 24, 5 pm

We're so excited to welcome the city's first food hall so here's your chance to check it out with us. We'll meet for a general member happy hour so come meet friends, make new ones, grab a drink/dinner/dessert and a Q&A with the owners to hear about their concept. 

 

   Save the Date - Annual Summer Potluck - August 10

We love community building over a shared meal, and this year's theme will be about welcoming new members and new residents. We'll be doing a big push to welcome new neighbors from our new multifamily buildings, so if you live in one - start spreading the word to join us at our summer potluck. More details to come, including a sign up of dishes and supplies to contribute.

   Housing Projects 
For your awareness, the city has two projects under consideration - a mixed use project at Maple and Annandale intersection (currently an asphalt parking lot) and a 12 townhome project at S. Lee, near the intersection of Broad St. We won't be taking positions on these specific projects right now, but as a reminder - we do advocate for "housing for all" policies that support a variety of housing options so that neighbors of all ages, incomes, and family sizes can live, work, learn, return, and retire here. 

 

If you are interested in learning more, we encourage our members to get informed from unbiased sources linked above. We also would be happy to connect you with resources so you can have informed opinions.

Have a great week!
