Arlington Event Calendar

You’re invited to the Saint Ann Fall Festival Saturday September 30th. Games, rides and food open at 10:00 am and end at 4:00 pm. The Saint Ann Fall Festival is a parish and school community event with activities everyone can enjoy. From games and rides for the kids, to food and music for adults and the silent auction with items anyone can bid on!

Cody Chance and Dick Nathan of Long & Foster are hosting an online workshop on the topic of “down-sizing” Wednesday, October 4 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Every great endeavor begins with a great plan. This workshop will give you the tools to design your plan. We have created a workbook with an extensive planning guide to enable you to design a personalized written plan for your move, and more than twenty pages of resources specific to Northern Virginia to help you along the way!

These resources will help you to find the best people to assist you in your move, and help you get the belongings that won’t move with you into the hands of people who will value them. The workshop format is a “guided group discussion” of the workbook, with a chance for the participants to ask their own questions, and special guest presenter Alexandra Fry of Orchestrated Moves will be joining us to share her many years of expertise in organization and moving.
We will be discussing three major themes:

• How to handle a lifetime’s worth of possessions without being overwhelmed
• How to make sure that your legal and financial arrangements reflect your current and future needs
• How to sell your current home and find another that is the “right size” for you

This event will follow our “Demystifying Retirement Communities” workshop, which will run from 3:30-4:30 on Wednesday, Oct. 4. If you are interested in attending this workshop as well, please let us know!

Snacks will be provided.

The event is free, but attendance is limited — if you would like to join, please call (864) 525-9253 or email [email protected] — RSVP required.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or you just had your first baby, we want to meet YOU! All those feelings you’re having are NORMAL and it’s not just you. Please don’t isolate yourself – that’s quicksand.

Mamistad groups are comprised of moms due within 3-4 months of each other so they are able to share the ups and downs of the first pregnancy and new motherhood journey. Relating is EVERYTHING!

MAMA TIP: If you’re still pregnant, please don’t put off finding your group until your baby arrives. You will be so glad you did! :)

Join us for a FREE introductory meeting to learn how easy it is to find your own New Mama Tribe! We have a Saturday meeting at noon on MOST Saturdays.

We’re expecting you. :)

Mamistad,

❤

Live standup comedy starring John F. O’Donnell (Comedy Central)
Friday, October 20

Headliner: John F. O’Donnell

John was a correspondent on the radical comedy news TV show, “Redacted Tonight,” for 5 years. Recently, he released his debut one-hour standup special, “The Manic Depressive Chocolate Fountain Operator,” directed by Brendan Canty of Fugazi on the 800 Pound Gorilla Records label. According to the Comedy Central Insider, “John F. O’Donnell is one of the more explosive comics in New York City. On stage, he’s like a tightly capped liter of soda filled with lit fireworks.”

John has been featured in the New York Times and the LA Times, as well as being one of Comedy Central’s “Fresh Faces of Comedy.” He has performed at a number of comedy festivals around the country and beyond, including the San Francisco Sketch Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, New York Comedy Festival, Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival, and the Limestone Comedy Festival. He’s been a favorite guest on the popular podcasts “You Made It Weird w/ Pete Holmes,” “RISK! w/ Kevin Allison,” and “Skeptic Tank w/ Ari Shaffir.”

John is also the creator and host of the 15-city hit show, “50 First Jokes.” He recently performed a week of shows in Germany, where he headlined the prestigious English Theatre Berlin. John has also performed at the legendary Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts, and has been interviewed by Larry King. He was given a Congressional Press Credential during the Presidential election and was seen covering the debates on location for “Redacted Tonight,” which, if you know John, seems like a terrible breach of security. John currently has a podcast called, “Take Your Pills, Psychopath!” that uses comedy to destigmatize mental health issues.
