Café Sazón

<p>Sunny@Midnight (Jeff Smith and Sherry Stewart) return to Cafe Sazon (4704 Columbia Pike) for their monthly residency this Saturday May 30th. Showtime is 7:00 pm and they will be joined by their bandmates Ron Goad (percussion), John Werntz (upright bass) and Marcy Cochran (fiddle). New York folksinger and fingerstyle guitarist Michael Bruen will open the show.<br></p>
<p>Jeff Smith is a musical raconteur, whose poetic lyrics paint common experiences and filtered memories with a tender or playful brush. Singing in a honey-drenched Appalachian drawl, multi-instrumentalist Smith lays down a brew of what he calls a funky kind of country blues folk pop rock stomp.</p>
<p>Sherry Stewart writes songs about people, places and things that have left an impression on her. Themes often evoke nature and leave the listener with a sense of longing only heightened by her angelic voice and vocal harmonies. She accompanies herself on mandolin, guitar, and flute whether she is playing solo or with others.</p>
<p>For more information regarding Jeff Smith's musical endeavors see <a href="https://www.humanwilderness.com./" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">humanwilderness.com.</a></p>
<p>Cafe Sazon has been a centerpiece of the Arlington Mill neighborhood since 2015. They feature Bolivian, Salvadorian, Peruvian, and Ecuadorian cuisine and their focus on welcoming all community members led to a James B. Hunter Human Rights Act Award in 2017.</p>

<p><b>Nathan’s Cancer Slayers</b>, a local Arlington fundraising team under Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, invites the community to <strong>Cocktails for a Cause — An Amalfi Coast Evening</strong> on <strong>Sunday, June 14</strong> in Georgetown. ✨🍸</p>
<p>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 <strong>Nathan Fleming</strong>, an Arlington student who passed away from rhabdomyosarcoma in 2019, just one week after turning 18.</p>
<p>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 <strong>$775,000</strong> to advance childhood cancer research.</p>
<p>This year’s auction will support promising research led by <strong>Dr. Valter Longo at USC</strong> and <strong>Dr. JinSeok Park at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles</strong>, with the goal of moving this work toward clinical trials for children within the next 2-3 years.</p>
<p>Guests can <b>attend the event in person, browse and bid online from anywhere, or make a donation directly.</b> Auction items include luxury getaways, VIP experiences, local packages, handcrafted items, and more.</p>
<p>Every ticket, donation, and auction bid will be matched <strong>1:1 by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation up to $30,000</strong>, doubling the impact of community support.&nbsp;💪</p>
<p><b>Event details, tickets, auction preview, Nathan’s story, and more about the research team are available here:</b></p>
<p><a href="https://event.auctria.com/5b075d5a-b398-43be-8d2d-e8826b8d5ab9/aa6cd270-8751-11e9-a741-3fcfcb35cbb0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><b>NathansCancerSlayers.auctria.events</b></a></p>
