Announcements

Erik M. Pelton & Associates, PLLC (EMP&A), a trademark law firm specializing in trademark protection, announced the launch of TMarcas.com, a new Spanish-language website designed to help Hispanic businesses register and protect their brands through U.S. trademark registration. The new site provides Spanish-language educational resources and access to the firm’s flat-fee trademark registration services to Spanish-speaking clients, backed by the firm’s 25+ years of experience and hundreds of client reviews.

“Language should never be a barrier to protecting a brand,” said Erik Pelton, founder of EMP&A and a former USPTO Trademark Examining Attorney. “TMarcas.com allows us to serve Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs with clear guidance, transparent flat fees, and personalized legal support, helping more business owners protect the brands they’ve worked so hard to build.”

There’s a class happening every Saturday in Arlington that’s hard to describe until you’ve seen it: two people moving inside a circle of participants clapping, singing, and playing instruments. It looks like a dance. It’s also a fight. Somehow, it’s both at once. It also happens to be one of the most welcoming communities you’ll find. That’s Capoeira.

Led by Master Antonio Javali and Jose Canchan, EvolveAll is home to one of the area’s few dedicated Capoeira programs.

At Piano Playground in Ballston, young beginners build real musical skills through games, movement, creativity, and joyful semi-private piano sessions.

Summer openings are now available for kids ages 5–10 at Obbligato Music’s Arlington atelier near Ballston Quarter.

June 22 through 27 every class at EvolveAll Martial Arts and Training Studio is free to try. No experience needed, no membership required.

EvolveAll’s Intro Week is the easiest way to explore everything the studio has to offer: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Striking, Boxing, Capoeira, Tai Chi Chuan, Self-Defense, Women’s Only Jiu Jitsu, MOTR Pilates, Yoga, Fitness Bootcamp, and Youth Martial Arts for ages 5–15.

Starting June 22nd, EvolveAll Martial Arts and Training Studio is opening its doors for Intro Week — one full week where every class is free to try, no experience or membership required.

Whether you want to try something active this summer or are looking for a fitness routine that actually sticks, next week is your chance to walk in and see what EvolveAll is all about.

The Arlington Home Energy Hub is a new resource provided by Arlington County to help residents make their homes more energy efficient, healthier and powered by clean energy. Arlington residents can now explore a new webpage with information and resources to learn about, plan for and implement home energy upgrades.

The Home Energy Coach is a new resource that provides free, virtual technical support to help Arlington residents make energy upgrades. Home Energy Coaches are available to help with any type of energy upgrade, such as installing new heating and cooling equipment, improving insulation and adopting solar energy. Homeowners can meet with a Home Energy Coach individually and renters can join a group coaching session. To get started, Arlington residents can submit an interest form online and a Coach will follow up with more information.

School’s out and summer’s the perfect time to try something new. Youth Beginning Fencing (ages 7–12) at Nova Fencing and Archery Club builds focus, coordination, and confidence. Twice a week for 4 weeks, gear included. New session starts June 22 — reserve your child’s spot today!

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 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.

Looking for a safe, structured, and engaging after-school option for your child?

This Pride Month, DMV residents can double their support for local LGBTQ+ communities through a $10,000 matching gift to the Fund for Queer Causes.

Most people who try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu say they wish they’d started sooner. Today is the day to begin. Almost everyone walks in for the first time unsure of what to expect. The coaches and students at EvolveAll remember that feeling well and they’re there to guide you through it.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art focused on ground fighting and submission grappling. Sparring at EvolveAll happens every class, with real intensity. Every roll is a live, resistance-based puzzle with a training partner. EvolveAll is not a competition school. Instead, they’re focused on the growth and development of each person on the mat.
