Glencarlyn Library

Join us at Glencarlyn Library to learn how Arlington helped shape a nation.&nbsp;In 1776, the 26 square mile area now known as Arlington County had 
fewer than 1,000 people. Yet despite its relatively tiny size and 
population back then, our forebears played an outsized role in the 
events that would lead to the birth of our nation. Join historian Kevin 
Vincent as he examines just how the place that we call home today became
 the hotbed and the heart of the American Revolution some 250 years ago.

Before the library talk at 2:30, stop by the Ball-Sellers House (1-4 PM) for a tour of the c.1750 farmhouse just around the 
corner–and see what life was like during the colonial era in what is now
 Arlington. Then continue on to the library for the talk. Cosponsored by
 the Glencarlyn Civic Association and the Arlington Historical Society. Use link for library reservations.

Nathan’s Cancer Slayers, a local Arlington fundraising team under Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, invites the community to Cocktails for a Cause — An Amalfi Coast Evening on Sunday, June 14 in Georgetown. ✨🍸
This inaugural silent auction will bring together friends, neighbors, and community supporters for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a fun silent auction — all raising funds for childhood cancer research in honor of Nathan Fleming, an Arlington student who passed away from rhabdomyosarcoma in 2019, just one week after turning 18.
Nathan was an Arlington student and alum of Jamestown Elementary, Swanson Middle School, and Washington-Liberty High School. His mom, Michele Fleming, formed Nathan’s Cancer Slayers under Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in 2020, and the team has raised more than $775,000 to advance childhood cancer research.
This year’s auction will support promising research led by Dr. Valter Longo at USC and Dr. JinSeok Park at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, with the goal of moving this work toward clinical trials for children within the next 2-3 years.
Guests can attend the event in person, browse and bid online from anywhere, or make a donation directly. Auction items include luxury getaways, VIP experiences, local packages, handcrafted items, and more.
Every ticket, donation, and auction bid will be matched 1:1 by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation up to $30,000, doubling the impact of community support.&nbsp;💪
Event details, tickets, auction preview, Nathan’s story, and more about the research team are available here:
