Mill Street Northeast

The Longest Table Event is coming to Vienna, Virginia for the second year!What started as a simple idea to bring the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City together in 2022 for a post-pandemic potluck meal has turned into a global movement to foster community connection in cities all over the world. In the last four years, the Longest Table has been replicated with resounding success in cities like Paris, France; San Francisco, CA; Seattle, WA; Seattle, WA; Brooklyn Heights, NY, and many more. Good Morning America has featured the Longest Table's positive impact and Netflix’s hit show Emily in Paris highlighted a Longest Table dinner in a Season Four episode. 
 
 On Saturday, May 9, The Longest Table Vienna Coordinating Committee will be hosting the second annual Longest Table in the heart of Vienna. The Longest Table Vienna event will host up to 500 attendees on two long tables on Mill Street, with overflow picnickers participating on the Town Green lawn. This event is free and open to the public, with online reservations required to reserve seats at the table. A DJ and lawn games will provide entertainment throughout this event. 

As of this release, current financial sponsors include Modera Wealth Management, United Bank, Stacy Tucker - State Farm and the Vienna Business Association. Students from the DECA club at James Madison High School will serve as the volunteers for the event. 

The Longest Table Vienna has a local nonprofit partner, Rustic Love, which will be the recipient of any financial donations received during the event. Rustic Love is a grassroots 501(c)3 organization based in Vienna whose mission is to actively engage and bring the community together to help the food-insecure.
The Longest Table Vienna will take place Saturday, May 9 from 12 - 2pm. 
Seat Reservations are now open: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-longest-table-vienna-2026-tickets-1985556504956?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-longest-table-vienna-2026-tickets-1985556504956</a>

Today’s fraud landscape blends technology with emotional manipulation, making scams harder to spot and easier for criminals to scale. The Fairfax Scam Jam unpacks two of the fastest‑growing threats: romance‑based investment schemes and cryptocurrency fraud. Scammers often initiate contact through friendly wrong‑number texts, dating apps, and social media, then spend weeks or months building trust. Once a relationship feels established, victims are encouraged to “invest” in cryptocurrency, gold, or foreign currency through fraudulent platforms operated by criminal organizations.
You’ll learn how these schemes operate step‑by‑step, the psychological tactics scammers use, and the financial and emotional devastation they leave behind. Presenters will share actionable tools for recognizing early warning signs, having preventative conversations with loved ones, reporting fraud, and recovering when possible. Whether you're new to digital safety or a seasoned advocate, this year’s Scam Jam will give you the knowledge you need to stay a step ahead of scammers.
The 9th Annual Fairfax Scam Jam is a community collaboration between AARP Virginia and the Fairfax County Silver Shield Anti-Scam Program.
Resource Fair exhibitors will be on hand until 1 p.m. Representatives from county, state and federal agencies will be available to answer your fraud and scam questions one-on-one.
Complimentary lunch is provided to registered guests. &nbsp;
