Dear Friends,
This was one of those weeks where what happened outside of our City Council meeting and outside of the votes we cast were most notable, with a lot of good news all around that you should know about:
See you at the Falls Church Festival (and closing out our year-long 75th anniversary celebration), Welcoming Week, the Harvest Moon Festival at the Eden Center, and the 20th annual Run for the Schools – it will be a busy weekend! And next week, we’ll be hearing an update on the Greening of Lincoln project and discussing next steps at Virginia Village in work session.
