From the President (April 2026)

Dear Fellow Braddock District Council Members,

Thanks for the productive breakout sessions last month.  It was great to hear from each council member about all the creative ways you are serving your local community.  I sincerely believe there is great value in gathering around the table in person. Let your voice be heard by joining us!  There is so much we can learn from each other.

Make sure to mark your calendars for these upcoming events:

April/May

Annual Legislative Update 

We are close to finalizing the details for this popular annual event. Stay tuned for an official announcement soon.

Wednesday, June 17

Make sure you get your complimentary cookies and water before settling in for this jam-packed evening!  Here’s what you can look forward to:

(1) Updates on the Braddock District from Supervisor Rachna Sizemore Heizer

(2) Volunteering in Our Community

Special thanks go to Mike Perel, BDC member and Braddock District representative to the Fairfax Area Commission on Aging, for arranging speakers from the following organizations:

Fairfax Area Commission on Aging

Learn about ways to recruit and retain volunteers.

NVRides

Find out how older adults can access medical appointments and trips to the grocery store with the help of volunteer drivers.

Volunteer Solutions

Discover how Fairfax County residents can connect to their community with meaningful volunteer opportunities.

(3) Executive Committee of the Council Elections

As outlined in Article VII of our Bylaws, officers are elected (or reelected) at the June council meeting.  Each of our current officers has expressed interest in staying in their current position for another year.  Any additional nominations must be made prior to May 1 by emailing Secretary Nancy Carey bdcfxsecretary@gmail.com.

If you have any topic suggestions or concerns that affect the Braddock District as a whole, we'd love to hear from you.  Thank you for supporting your local community, and I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.

Todd

President, BDC
