The Annual Meeting will be held March 12, 2016 at the Southlake Recreation Center. In order to prepare

the budget to be presented to and vote on by the Membership, the MPOA Budget Committee began

meeting in September and held four committee meetings, all announced in the Montclairion and open

to the Membership. Additionally, there were four other opportunities for the Membership to give their

input on the budget: Board Work Session, Presentation of the Draft Budget at the November Board

meeting, the Presentation of the Draft Budget to the Membership, and the December Board meeting

prior to the vote to approve the draft budget for inclusion in the Annual Meeting packet. If you are not

casting your ballot at the Annual Meeting, you have until March 10 at 5 p.m. to do so on-line, mailed

and faxed ballots must be received by March 10. The results of the Annual Meeting vote on the budget

and Directors will be published in the April Montclairion, along with the newly appointed officers. The

Officers: President, 1st VP, 2nd VP, Treasurer and Secretary, are appointed by the members of the board.

Thank you to the Budget and Election Committee members for all their hard work and dedication to

ensuring we have a successful Annual Meeting.

Non-owner residents, while eligible for all Montclair amenities and activities, are not eligible to vote.

MONTCLAIR PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION - 2016 ANNUAL MEETING

SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 2016 AT SOUTHLAKE RECREATION CENTER REGISTRATION 9 A.M., CALL TO ORDER 10 A.M.

Greg Barlow4909 Breeze Way(703) 590-2999 • [email protected]

How long have you been a Montclair owner? 10 years.

Do you have any previous homeowners association and/or committee experience?Yes, 2016 with be my 5th year on the Southlake

Recreation Association Board, and I’ve been the Southlake Recreation Chairman since 2014. I’ve been a volunteer at multiple MPOA events, and was also on the Board for the Jay Mar Shores Homeowners Association, Fort Walton Beach, Florida from 2003-2005.

Do you have any other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member?I served 26 years as an Air Force officer; I currently work in civilian capacity for the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon, and I’m an Assistant Scoutmaster for local Boy Scout Troop 43. I think these experiences make me well suited to serve the Montclair homeowners.

Why are you interested in serving on the MPOA Board of Directors?The Board needs a fresh perspective. There are no Southlake homeowners on the Board, and our section of Montclair should be represented. The Board should represent; not rule over our community, and every Board decision needs to first and foremost support our homeowners. If elected, I will do just that.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair.Montclair should be more inclusive/less divisive. As a community we owe it to members to support initiatives that are important the current homeowners. As a Board, we need to be receptive to the changing needs and desires of our members; so it’s time for some new views on the Board.

What does becoming a board member mean to you, and what community issues would you be interested in addressing? How would you approach them?I think the Board needs a fresh perspective on issues affecting our community. I feel Board members should put interests and concerns of owners and members first – and support initiatives, proposals, and requests fairly and equitably. Election to the Board should be about service; not governance. There’s a responsibility to ensure owners’ investments in their Montclair properties are protected; not jeopardized by Board decisions.

I believe our Community Guidelines are deserving of a refresh to ensure we’re treating all members equitably, and that we’re supporting the improvements owners desire to make to their properties. I’ll also work to ensure MPOA preserves lakefront rights and amenities for all Montclair owners – a key reason buyers continue to invest in Montclair. And lastly, I’d like to ensure continued Board support for our community events as year after year these are some of the highlights of what makes Montclair a great place to live.

Joshua Budzynski15671 Viewpoint Circle(253) 732-1364 • [email protected]

How long have you been a Montclair owner? 4 months.

Do you have any previous homeowners association and/or committee experience? No.

Do you have any other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member?I have been in leadership positions within the military throughout my career. I have also been involved with volunteer/community work for 10+ years.

Why are you interested in serving on the MPOA Board of Directors?I want to be as active as I may in my community and help it continue to be a great community.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair.Some areas I think need improvement in our community is cleanliness and safety. I feel I can bring ideas to help this such as organized neighborhood watches and volunteer groups for neighborhood trash pick-up.

What does becoming a board member mean to you, and what community issues would you be interested in addressing? How would you approach them?A board member is someone who is able to have a positive influence and impact on the community by being able to voice the opinions, concerns, and views of their fellow neighbors and all the people within the community and see that action is taken when needed. Some of the issues that have been apparent, and I have seen a pattern of lately that has been voiced either by social media means or by conversation is that of safety and cleanliness/upkeep in certain neighborhoods and areas of recreation. For the safety concerns I would like to propose that we have voluntary neighborhood watches set up and also address the lack of lighting in some streets which would help our walkers feel safer, and to help prevent and expose criminal activity. For cleanliness and upkeep, we need more frequent visits from hired groundskeepers, and organize voluntary neighborhood cleanups.


2016 ANNUAL MEETING CANDIDATE PROFILES

At-Large Director Candidates (3 Vacancies)

Meg Czapiewski15561 Outlook Place(571) [email protected]

How long have you been a Montclair owner? 5.5 years.

Do you have any previous homeowners association and/or committee

experience?Southlake Recreation Association Board Member 2015 to present. Secretary/Board Member, 7 years, Cheshire Forest HOA (550 residences) in Chesapeake, VA.

Do you have any other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member?29 years of leadership experience in the Air Force and 3 years as a Realtor in our local community.

Why are you interested in serving on the MPOA Board of Directors?I’m ready to provide fresh ideas and perspective for the benefit of our community. An HOA should be an instrument for implementing the will of its members - the homeowners - and I look forward to hearing from, and acting on behalf of, our residents for the good of Montclair.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair.As a local Realtor I have unique insight on our community as viewed from within, and from non-residents. I seek to keep Montclair’s status as a desirable community in which to live, and continue to improve the value of our properties.

What does becoming a board member mean to you, and what community issues would you be interested in addressing? How would you approach them?I am proud to say that I live in Montclair, I love so many of the qualities in our community. I believe it’s important to give where you live, and I feel the MPOA BOD is where my talents can best be used to give back to Montclair. I am excited to have the opportunity to represent the voice of the homeowners as a member of the BOD. My work brings me out in the community a lot, and to be honest the feedback on the BOD from homeowners can, at times, be mixed. It would be my goal to improve this by bringing greater transparency on BOD processes through communication, increasing opportunities for homeowners to engage on the issues and decisions that shape our community and, ultimately, to ensure BOD actions reflect the intentions and desires of its members who are, first and foremost, the homeowners.

Amy Frederick15532 Yorktown Drive(703) [email protected]

How long have you been a Montclair owner? Jeff and I moved into Montclair in December 2009, however our strong involvement in the community dates back to 2002.

Do you have any previous homeowners association and/or committee experience?I am currently 1st Vice President of the MPOA board and served as Treasurer for two years. Prior to moving to Montclair, I was active on our neighborhood social and welcoming committees.

Do you have any other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member?I’m the mother of 3 young children and professionally, I run a non-profit organization where I oversee a $10 million annual budget and oversee a staff of 100. I’ve been very active in state/local issues for the last decade, and I serve as a Director on 3 national non-profit boards.

Why are you interested in serving on the MPOA Board of Directors?Montclair is a fantastic place to live and raise a family – that’s why Jeff and I have chosen this as our home for the foreseeable future. I enjoy being an active and contributing member of the community in which I live. I feel that it’s important to give back.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair.I believe I offer a fresh perspective and new ideas – mixed with a sound philosophy on governance where MPOA facilitates good neighbors but with a dose of common sense. Together we can make Montclair an even better place to live where we can look forward to raising our families.

What does becoming a board member mean to you, and what community issues would you be interested in addressing? How would you approach them?In my six years on the Board, I have enjoyed working with the other Members to continue to make Montclair a special community that we can all be proud to live and raise our families. I ran for the Board with the priority of bringing the Montclair Triathlon back as a community event.

The MPOA works for you, the homeowner, and we need to remember that. My view, and top priority, has always been that we can enforce and maintain the covenants without rancor, hostility or creating adversarial relationships. Customer service should be our top priority.

As a mother of three, I understand and share residents’ concerns about neighborhood safety and security, including speeding on Waterway and elsewhere. I will continue to work on our common goals and contribute to making the Board the responsive, proactive organization we need to make our neighborhood the very best it can be.

Do you have any previous homeowners association and/or committee experience?

12 years MPOA Board, 3 years Architectural Review Committee, 2 years Board liaison Lake Management Committee

Do you have any other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member?Friends of Montclair Library Executive Board; Volunteer Master Gardener, PWC Extension

Why are you interested in serving on the MPOA Board of Directors?I want to serve on the Board because I wish to help preserve and enhance the value of all properties within Montclair. I want to increase communication between the Association and homeowners.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair.I will: fairly and respectfully consider any proposed solution to problems facing Montclair; ensure that all homeowners receive fair, respectful and careful attention to their ideas; and promote clarity and transparency in communication.

What does becoming a board member mean to you, and what community issues would you be interested in addressing? How would you approach them?Montclair’s biggest challenge is how to maintain and enhance property values as the community ages. A uniform look and a neighborhood feel to the community adds value to our individual homes. The Board enforces the covenants using input from the Covenants Committee, the Lake Management Committee, and the Facilities and Landscape Management Committee. We must also recognize those most familiar with individual properties, the homeowner. MPOA must do all it can to respectfully solicit and consider homeowner ideas and input. I will do my best to ensure fair enforcement of covenants and respectful treatment of homeowner. No homeowner should leave a meeting feeling their ideas have not been heard and considered. The best way to maintain the community feel that makes Montclair special is through mutual respect and understanding.

Robert Spiess16202 Sheffield Drive(571) 482-7805 • [email protected]

How long have you been a Montclair owner? 1 year.

Do you have any previous homeowners association and/or committee experience?

I am a member of the Budget Committee and Covenants Committee.

Do you have any other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member?In addition to serving on committees, I also attend monthly board meetings and regularly comment on agenda motions. As an Information Technology and Project Management Professional, I work extensively with budgets, contracts, and successfully work with people to bring many viewpoints together to complete tasks and projects.

Why are you interested in serving on the MPOA Board of Directors?I am interested in serving on the Board of Directors to make decisions that will better Montclair and maintain high standards the community deserves. I don’t believe in the “We have always done it this way” theory of management. I’ll ask questions and comment to make the best decision possible.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair.I commit to listen to homeowners, provide attention to detail, thoroughly research issues and community concerns, and be organized in thought and action. I would like to see continued updating and modernization of the Guidelines to be more in line with our community’s needs today and into the future.

What does becoming a board member mean to you, and what community issues would you be interested in addressing? How would you approach them?To me, becoming a board member is a way to continue to serve Montclair by making decisions that equally represent the will and best interests of the entire community. One main issue that I am interested in addressing is communication between the board and members of the community. Our community deserves a representative that will be in attendance during meetings and actively participate in discussions. From land use issues to exercise stations and swings in parks, there will always be differing opinions as to what is more important and most needed. In order to better communicate, I will reach out to members, listen to their comments and provide feedback. While many members participate in online group discussions, a large section does not. Using other formats including face to face meetings will help disseminate information to more members of the community.




Joellen Welch15818 Marlington Drive(703) 828-5656 • [email protected]


Do you have any previous homeowners association and/or committee experience?I have served as an MPOA board member for the past three years, as well as board liaison for the History Committee. Before being

elected to the board, I served on the Events and Communications Committees for two years, chairing the Communications Committee for one of those two years.

Do you have any other experience that would contribute to your success as a board member?Serving as public relations manager and executive officer for two other volunteer organizations gives me insight to various functions, budget maintenance, and effective strategies that could be useful to the board and the neighborhood. I also maintain continued communication with state and county leaders whose positions and decisions affect us.

Why are you interested in serving on the MPOA Board of Directors?I want to continue giving back to my community. It takes a caring and concerned team to maintain and enhance Montclair, one that works with and listens to its residents. I value open communication, putting people first, and exploring many avenues to find the best possible outcome to ongoing issues.

Give a brief statement of views on what you feel you can contribute to the community and what you would like to see done in Montclair.Montclair’s future relies upon rational board decisions and input from residents. If re-elected, I’ll continue representing residents by taking a “common sense” approach to decisions, weighing on resident input when given, and adhering to our Documents. I also support amending the Documents within our authority and when deemed necessary.

What does becoming a board member mean to you, and what community issues would you be interested in addressing? How would you approach them?Membership on the Board means willingness to cooperate openly, transparently and effectively on a team with a common understanding of fiduciary duties, acting fairly, in good faith, in the interest of, and for the benefit of, the Association as a whole without regard to personal interest or gain.

Important issues:• Communication, transparency:

o Continue interaction on social media, email, and phone. Gain residents’ trust, listen to their issues, and propose reasonable solutions.

• Southlake Dock Issues:o Research guidelines and historic documents, participate in town hall meetings,

attorney sessions, speak with affected residents, propose solutions within our authority.

• Assessment costs:o Keep assessments low; re-evaluate expenses as cost of services continues to rise.

• Dam Regulations:o Virginia has changed regulations on dams, potentially requiring costly re-

engineering efforts. We must continue questioning the rationality and necessity of these regulations and urge our state representatives to represent us in finding a reasonable solution.

The Covenants Department will begin performing Annual Inspections in late March. The purpose of annual inspections is to help improve the enforcement of the MPOA Declarations and Guidelines. Regular inspections are also key to maintaining property values and to keep Montclair a pleasant and beautiful neighborhood for all residents to enjoy.

The process entails a detailed inspection of the entire property for every home and lot. With nearly 4,000 homes in Montclair, this process can last through the fall.

What is the process for Annual Inspections?When inspections begin, Covenants Inspectors will walk every street in Montclair inspecting each individual home and lot. Any items found to be in violation of the community’s covenants will be noted and the owner will be sent a Notice of Non-Compliance. This letter will provide the owner the nature of the

violation and the compliance date in which to correct the violation. If the violation has not been corrected by the compliance date, the Covenants Inspector will return to reinspect and a second Notice of Non-Compliance will be issued. At that time, the owner will have two weeks to correct the violation. If the violation still has not been corrected, the inspector will issue a third Notice of Non-Compliance, known as a Hearing Notification. A hearing before the Board of Directors is scheduled in which the homeowner has the opportunity to discuss the non-compliance. The homeowner must contact the office within seven (7) days of the date of the letter to let the staff know if they wish to attend the hearing. Failure to attend the hearing will result in the loss of the homeowner’s opportunity to be heard. At this hearing, the Board will be deciding whether to impose covenant violation charges. Extensions for correction of violations are considered on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions

about your letter, please call our office at (703) 670-6187.

Will someone be on my property?Covenants Inspectors, Isiah Pressley and Nichole Welch, as well as Covenants Manager, Bridget Geiger, will be on homeowners’ property conducting Annual Inspections. Inspectors will perform most inspections from public areas, but have the right to go onto property to evaluate potential violations. Before entering rear yards, inspectors will first notify the resident. All Covenants Staff members are assigned specific MPOA shirts and will be wearing identification badges. If you have any questions regarding inspections or notices, they are available to assist you.

Preparing Your HomeArticle 5 of the Community Guidelines is available for download at MontclairVA.com and contains information on what items are and are not permitted and what can be considered a violation. Some of the most common violations can be addressed prior to Annual Inspections to prevent receiving a violation notice:

• Check for mold, dirt, or other discoloration on siding and gutters;

• Inspect all window, door, and other miscellaneous wood trim for mold, discoloration, or rot;

• Make sure trash and recycling containers are stored out of public view, except on trash days;

• Prune any overgrown landscaping and, in the warmer months, cut grass regularly;

• Keep all items on the entire property stored in a neat and orderly fashion;

• Ensure that house numbers are affixed to both the mailbox and the house.

Website & Facebook UpdatesBe sure to look out for Annual Inspection updates on the MPOA Facebook page and website. We will be posting a week-by-week schedule to indicate which streets will be inspected, weather permitting.

Annual Inspections to Begin


What’s the difference between a board meeting and a special meeting, or an annual meeting and a town hall meeting? Confused? Here’s some clarification.

Annual MeetingsAnnual meetings – or annual membership meetings – are required by our governing documents, which specify when they’re to be conducted and how and when members are to be notified about the meeting. This is the main meeting of the year when members receive the new budget, elect a board, hear committee reports and discuss items of common interest. The next annual meeting will be held Saturday, March 12 at the Southlake Recreation Center. Registration for in-person voting begins at 9 a.m., and the call to order will be at 10 a.m.

Special MeetingsSpecial meetings are limited to a particular topic. The board can call a special meeting at any time, and they must notify all members in advance. The notice will specify the topic so interested members can attend. Special meetings give the board an opportunity to explore sensitive or controversial matters. Members do not participate in the meeting,

unless asked directly by a board member, however they have a right to listen to the board discussion.

Town Hall MeetingsTown hall meetings are informal gatherings intended to promote two-way communication; full member participation is essential to success. The board may want to present a controversial issue or explore an important question like amending the bylaws. The board may want to get a sense of members’ priorities, garner support for a large project or clarify a misunderstood decision.

Board MeetingsMost of the business of the association is conducted at regular board meetings. Board members set policy, oversee the manager’s work, review operations, resolve disputes, talk to residents and plan for the future. Often the health and harmony of an entire community is directly linked to how constructive these meetings are. Board meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at the MPOA office. Open session begins at or around 7:30 p.m.

Executive SessionThe governing documents require the association to notify you in advance of all meetings, and you’re welcome – in fact, encouraged – to attend and listen. The only time you can’t listen is when the board goes into executive session. Topics that the board can discuss in executive session are limited by law to a narrow range of sensitive topics. Executive sessions keep only the discussion private; no votes can be taken. The board must adjourn the executive session and resume the open session before voting on the issue. In this way, members may hear the outcome, but not the private details.

Committee MeetingsCommittees are created by the board to complete projects or tasks for the association. Montclair’s committees cover a variety of interests ranging from budget planning to management of Lake Montclair. Residents are welcome to join any or all committees that are of interest to them. Most committees meet monthly at the MPOA office at or after 7 p.m. A description of each committee can be found on our website at www.montclairva.com under About Us.

We’re Having What Kind of Meeting?

community feedback survey

available now through april 30

In an effort to reach out to the community and assess the needs and desires of the residents, Montclair’s committees, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, have compiled a brief feedback survey. With the results of this survey, Montclair hopes to gather information on the community’s preferences and better serve its members going forward. Visit http://goo.gl/forms/ojXi5YmTGk to take the survey online. Hard copies are available on page 33 or at the MPOA office, and can be printed from our website at montclairva.com. Hard copy surveys are available at the MPOA office and can be submitted to our office, faxed to (703) 670-9620 or emailed to [email protected] Survey responses will be accepted through April 30.


Voting has begun! Association Members of record were mailed annual meeting packets in mid-February (if you did not receive your packet, give us a call at (703) 670-6187 to order a replacement). Voting in the annual meeting is an essential and important part of being an owner in an association.

The annual meeting will be held on Saturday, March 12 at the Southlake Recreation Center. Registration begins at 9 a.m., and call to order is at 10 a.m. You don’t have to attend the annual meeting to cast your vote, though. In addition to in-person voting, we offer three additional methods for you to vote: online, by mail, and

fax. Instructions for voting with each of these methods are included in your annual meeting packet.Despite the importance of making your voice heard in the community, many owners choose not to vote in the annual meeting. In 2015, only 1,016 of 3,571 eligible members submitted a ballot. That’s 28%! For reference, a quorum of 25% of the membership is required to conduct business at the annual meeting and to approve the budget, and if quorum is not met another meeting may be scheduled to approve the budget at members’ expense. We’ve included some of the top misconceptions and excuses for not voting below, along with some advice to help you overcome them.

“I don’t have enough time to vote.”The official ballot for the annual meeting contains only two issues: selecting three board of directors candidates, and approving or denying the budget. That’s it! In a matter of minutes, you can make your voice heard. Simply choose the easiest method of voting for you: whether you’re an internet pro or a master at fax, you can find a voting method that is accessible and straightforward. Even if you elect to vote in-person at the meeting, you are not required to stay for the entire meeting.

Just drop in, register, cast your vote, and you’re done! Back to your cozy couch in no time.

“Voting doesn’t make any difference.”With membership voting rates of only 28-29% since 2012, voting makes more of a difference than ever. Your vote could be the one that helps us meet quorum, saving the association from holding an additional meeting and incurring further costs (that ultimately are passed down to you). Think your vote doesn’t make a difference? It could make all the difference.

“I don’t know enough about the community to make an informed decision.”The annual meeting packet includes the FY17 association budget as well as profiles on the seven board of directors candidates. These are the two issues included on the ballot. If you would like further clarification on any budget items, or need help understanding how the budget for the community works, contact our office at (703) 670-6187 and we’ll be happy to help. If you’d like to know more about the board candidates, contact information for each candidate can be found on their profiles (page 10-13). Members are welcome to call or email candidates and get more information on how they will serve the community.

ScoutingTroop 35By Tyler Riddle, Troop ScribeFebruary was another busy month for Troop 35! Our scouts went on a cabin camp out at Camp Fraser in Great Falls, VA in the facility’s lodge. The scouts enjoyed a weekend perfecting their cooking abilities using campfires, propane stoves and the lodge’s state of the art industrial kitchen. We learned new skills that could be applied towards our cooking merit badge and everyone enjoyed some amazing food! Games were played throughout the weekend and the trails were explored along the 220 acre natural preserve. We also welcomed 12 new scouts who crossed over from Pack 1189. They are enthusiastic about learning new skills and making new friends! More scouts from local Cub Scout Packs will be joining us in March.

When it comes to pets, our association does not have specific rules. Instead, we defer to the laws and regulations put into place by Prince William County (PWC). In this article we’ve included some of the animal related laws the county has in place, as well as how to excercise your rights in accordance with these laws.

Barking & Noise ComplaintsProlonged and/or intense barking or other harsh or excessive noises made by animals and pets “at least once a minute for ten consecutive minutes” is in violation of PWC Code Section 14-5.1. While a barking dog can be beneficial in alerting its owner of potential problems or warning of a stranger’s presence, it can be a nuisance to neighboring homeowners.

What should you do if your neighbor’s dog is barking excessively? First, try discussing the

issue directly with the neighbor. The easiest solution is often expressing your concerns in a polite and reasonable manner. If this does not work, you have the right to charge the person keeping the dog with a code violation.

Contact the non-emergency line of the Police Department at (703) 792-6500 and they will assist you in obtaining a warrant issued by the magistrate. This warrant is served by the Police Department and advises the recipient to appear in General District Court on a specific date. It is necessary that you also be present in court at the same time. The Commonwealth’s Attorney will be in court to assist you in this matter.

TrespassingIf you’re having issues with neighbors’ pets on your property, you can complete a Trespassing

Animals Form on the PWC website at www.pwcgov.org. Animals that have been forbidden to trespass by completion of this form (or other written warning) are in violation of PWC Code Section 4-4. If the pet is found trespassing on your property after being served with the Trespassing Animals Form, contact the Police Department for further assistance.

Leash LawDogs are not permitted to run at large within the county, and must be leashed when in public in accordance with Section 4-23 of the PWC Code. This regulation, or “leash law”, is not applicable when engaging in supervised, formal or science training classes, or show, or during formally sanctioned field trials, or while engaged in lawful hunting during open hunting season. Cats are allowed outdoors but they must be current on their rabies vaccinations.

Animal WasteUrination or defication on public property or the private property of others without their permission is in violation of PWC Code Sections 4-1 and 4-26, unless immediately removed and disposed of properly. This law does not apply in parts of parks posted as dog run areas. Failure to properly dispose of pet waste is a Class 4 Misdemeanor and may result in a $250 fine. In addition to stinking up the bottom of your shoe, pet waste that is not picked up can cause significant health risks to local water bodies. Do yourself and Lake Montclair a favor by picking up after your pet.

Deeds Not Words2 Sessions: 2-3 p.m. & 3-4 p.m.Workhouse Arts Center, LortonIn this short, one-act play, the story of suffragist Alice Paul is presented as a professional staged reading. The show is about Alice Paul and some of the women who marched, picketed, and were even imprisoned for their belief that all women deserved the right to vote. Alice Paul has become a heroine and symbol of the suffrage movement. Her indomitable spirit, courage, determination and resourceful political strategies, joined together with

the efforts of women across the United States, led to the ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920. Five actors in multiple roles, aided by a cinematic panorama of vintage photographs, portray the individuals who changed the political and social landscape of the early twentieth century. This new play, designed for audiences age 12 and over, was written by local playwright/actress Margie O. Tompros, who was inspired by the story of the suffragists imprisoned at the Workhouse in 1917.

Thur 24Rollicking Reconciliations: Foods & Feasting in Shakespeare’s Comedies10 a.m.Hylton Performing Arts Center, ManassasThe woods and gardens of Shakespeare’s festive comedies are really interior landscapes, where self-deception runs humorously amok in the thickets of the human mind. In Midsummer Night’s Dream, As you Like It, Twelfth Night, and The Taming of the Shrew, what looks like true love may actually be ambition, or a donkey, or someone who’s really not that into you. Friends and lovers disappear, gender seems to be negotiable, the familiar landscape of daily life metamorphoses into a shifting territory of seductive voices, beckoning fairy lights and misleading pathways. The human search for companionship slips endlessly away, leaving loneliness and isolation behind. How will the characters learn enough to replace their cherished illusions with real affection and a supportive community? When they finally achieve the wisdom to laugh at themselves, then it’s time to feast indeed. In fact, in the true spirit of LLI forums, at the end we’ll feast with them. FREE

As a retired United States Coast Guard member, David is very familiar with military moves and the stresses that can ensue with any move. He and his team of agents are committed to making that transition as smooth as possible. We will continue to specialize in homes for sale or for rent in all of Northern Virginia. We offer clients more than just a simple agency relationship. “We love what we do. We can honestly say that we love helping people find that perfect home. It is very important to us that you don’t just purchase a house to live in, but that you find a home where memories can be made.”
