Fourth of July. Planning for the annual Independence Day event at the Maury School is now under way (thanks to RCA Secretary John Leary for again taking on organizational responsibilities), but we will need volunteers to make it happen; please see https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4BAFAA2CA0F85-rosemont1. We will circulate additional information shortly.

Metro Closure. The long-term closure of the Blue and Yellow lines south of National Airport is all now underway.  Note that different bus shuttles serve King Street and Braddock Road, and that the bus shuttle from Braddock Road does not serve National Airport. For updates from WMATA, please visit https://www.wmata.com/service/rail/platformproject/index.cfm.  Alexandria’s own page about the closure is https://www.alexandriava.gov/tes/info/default.aspx?id=106691.
