Join us on May 29 for the Military Women’s Memorial 26th Annual Memorial Day program. This observance is one of the major Memorial Day events in the National Capital Region. Free and open to the public, the event includes formal military honors, remarks from current and former servicewomen from each of the military services, and a keynote address. As in previous years, members of the public are invited to join in the personal tribute segment of the program.
We are honored this year to have Ms. Brenda “Sue” Fulton, the VA’s Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs, deliver the keynote. As May is the 43rd anniversary of women graduating from the nation’s service academies, it seems particularly fitting to have Ms. Fulton with us. Among her many accomplishments and trailblazing activities, she is a member of the first class of women to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Program to be held inside in the Memorial’s beautiful gallery.

Come out to support your local Special Olympics Program! Pancakes will be whipped up by the Bronson Beirhall staff and served to you by your favorite Area 26 Athletes! Meal tickets ($15/adult, $10/kids) include pancakes, sausage, fruit, and beverages.
Local fundraising events like these give our athletes the ability to branch out, practice a potentially new skill, meet their community, and help fund an organization that means so much to them! Special Olympics Virginia-Area 26 serves athletes and families in Arlington and Fairfax counties and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church. With the help of supporters like you, we move closer to our goal of inclusion and respect for people with disabilities. Your contributions are invaluable.
As a fan of Special Olympics Virginia, you’ve helped us open hearts and change minds about the value of those with intellectual disabilities. We really appreciate your support!

Story Circle with the Arlington Spellbinders
Elena Torres, Headliner
Elena Torres is a Spanish American telenovela actress turned stand-up comedian. No, that is not a joke. After several hit telenovelas in Mexico under her belt, she fell in love with a nice Jewish East Coast guy and realized her heart wasn’t in on-camera face slapping anymore.
So she took the next logical artistic step from doing melodrama in Spanish; she started performing stand up comedy in English. She threw out her telenovela push-up bra, moved to the East Coast and has performed in venues all over the country, including: DC Improv, Arlington Drafthouse, Hotbed, New York Comedy Club, West Side Comedy Club, Ha Ha Comedy Club, and many more. She also hosts the Arlington Drafthouse podcast and has a sketch page called Human Factor Comedy. (Ok ok, she didn’t throw out her push up bra – those things are expensive..…and they work wonders – but you get the idea.)
Apple Brown Betty:
Apple Brown Betty engages the audience with the familiarity of your favorite aunt. Selected as one of Bob Sumner’s Rising Stars of Comedy, she has performed up and down the east coast, including at the legendary Apollo Theater.
ABB is guaranteed to leave you laughing, but also feeling better about yourself. She doesn’t believe in dinosaurs, but she believes in you.
Martin Phillips:
Martin Phillips won Funniest College Student in D.C., and never stopped. He’s headlined festivals including the Cleveland Comedy Festival, and has made several appearances on the Kill Tony podcast. Check out his podcast on rom-coms, “Isn’t It Romantic?” Martin has performed all over, even in Alaska. Check him out!
Zach Mama:
Zach Mama is a stand-up comic, jazz drummer, and writer from Paris, France.
In September 2022, a month after he began shooting a road documentary series about stand-up comedy filmed across all 50 States, he won a $51 cash prize for “best set” at Thai Rivera’s show in Las Vegas which he immediately spent on the Uber ride to the next show.
Zach won the “2022 Honolulu Fall Down Funny Comedy Tournament” in Hawai’i and was also awarded “Best New Comic in Hawai’i of 2022” by ComedyU (which he thought would look really good in his bio).
He has opened for Hawai’i legend Andy Bumatai, rising star Tumua in San Diego as well as highly respected comics Paul Ogata and Butch Bradley, among many others.
Zach has been on Tyler Smith’s Dope Show, Monica Nevi’s Super Secret Show in Seattle and opened for Shaun Latham at the Tempe Improv.
He is currently filming an entirely improvised road documentary series in which he interviews comics from various backgrounds about their journey.
He attempts to capture the different challenges faced by a comic from abroad who doesn’t eat meat and is allergic to horses while living his dream on the road in America.

Come join a local Arlingtonian, Alexandra Pugachevsky, at the launch of her first book in English, “Zoya”.
“Zoya” is a coming of age story with a twist. An ordinary 12-year-old girl, who lives in the 1980s Moscow, Zoya one day discovers a parallel reality – in Paris! As Zoya seeks answers, she transforms her life and that of the people around her. “Zoya” was originally published in Russian.
