The program will celebrate swing favorites of the American Songbook, from Gershwin and Cole Porter to Frank Loesser and Harold Arlen. All ages.There will be a special screening of "Be Kind, Rewind", which has a connection to Fats Waller, on Wednesday, November 4 at 6:30 p.m.

What Do the 2026 Midterm Elections Mean for America’s Political Future?
Please join the AAUW McLean Area Branch for a special presentation by Stephen Farnsworth, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and International Affairs at the University of Mary Washington. Dr. Farnsworth will unpack the election results and will examine what they reveal about public opinion, the balance of power in Congress, and the future of the president’s policy agenda. Drawing on his expertise in American politics, presidential leadership, political communication, and Virginia politics, Dr. Farnsworth will explore how election outcomes may reshape relations between the White House and Congress, influence national policy debates, and set the stage for the 2028 presidential election. Dr. Farnsworth is a distinguished professor and the author or co-author of nine books on the presidency, mass media, public opinion, and journalism, and a recipient of Virginia’s Outstanding Faculty Award.
