Join us for National Night Out this Tuesday, 8/1, 6:30p – 9:00p

Tuesday August 1st – In an annual show of neighborhood spirit and to build relationships with local police, we welcome you to turn on your outside lights (consider swapping out with blue light bulbs — still time to have them delivered if using Amazon Prime) and spend some time outdoors with your neighbors as part of National Night Out.  The SCA welcomes you for dessert, meet with some of our local law enforcement officers, and share ideas about our neighborhood watch program. We’ll be setting up an ice cream sundae station at the bottom of the hill on Stoneybrooke lane, near the Stone Mill Place intersection (if you received your electronic Stoneybrooke directory sent out on July 20th, my specific address is listed there).  The weather looks fantastic (current forecast: Mostly sunny with temperatures in the mid to low 80s).

Time: 6:30p – 9:00p

If you’re a facebook member, check out these pictures from last year’s event, looking forward to having folks stop by!

Please contact us if you have any questions or have suggestions for how the SCA can continue supporting our community!

 

Upcoming SCA events:

Thursday September 21 – Our fall community meeting will highlight local community events and is an opportunity for you to share with the SCA your ideas for our community. Supervisor Jeff McKay is also scheduled to visit us during this meeting.  We’re also seeking a volunteer to join the SCA Board to fill the position of Vice Chairman and always looking for volunteers to lead specific event planning and coordination.  7:00p at Stone Mansion

Saturday October 7 – Fall community yard sale. Held on the first Saturday each May and October, the SCA puts out online advertisements and signs locally to encourage yard sale aficionados to swing through.

Welcoming of Summer!

Independence Day: I hope everyone is able to be with family and friends to celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day over this weekend and on July 4th.  This special holiday is a great day to cool down in a pool or at the beach and grill out with your preferred beverage.  Please celebrate safely and responsibly.  Some fireworks are legal in Virginia; however, they can be dangerous if not used properly. Additionally,  loud noises can be a difficult time for our neighborhood armed forces veterans suffering from PTSD and our pets.  Here is a useful 5 things to know from Fairfax County: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news2/5-things-to-know-about-fireworks/
