Arlington Community Foundation is excited to premiere and host the Age Friendly Grant Catalog featuring 12 grant ideas of organizations and programs serving older adults (55+) in Arlington, with grants up to $10,000 each. The public is able to view and ‘shop’ these grants at arlcf.org/AgeFriendly and donate any amount toward needs that inspire them.

It’s no secret that Arlington can be an expensive place to live, especially for those who survive on little income. Within this group are the thousands of older residents who have no reliable income, rely on modest government income, or whose only financial asset is the house they’ve called home for years, or even generations.

The 12 organizations and programs with grants in this Catalog work tirelessly to ensure that all Arlingtonians, no matter their age or income, can continue to call Arlington home, and age with dignity, love, and belonging.

Marta Hill Gray, Executive Director of Culpepper Garden, one of the Catalog grantees, said, “Culpepper Garden is grateful to be included in Arlington Community Foundation’s Age Friendly Catalog,” and when it comes to the ongoing support required to fund these vital services, “We think it begins within our own community of Arlington.”

Financially supporting these grants shows these organizations, and the people they serve, that we are here for them just as they are here for some of our most vulnerable neighbors, family members, and friends.

Arlington Community Foundation welcomes individuals and businesses to match donations or “sponsor” grants in the Catalog. Please contact Nick Knock, Arlington Community Foundation’s Director of Communications at [email protected] for more details on these opportunities.

WASHINGTON — Company E, Washington, DC’s leading contemporary repertory dance company, will return its catered-to-kids performance of ‘To Sail Around the Sun’ to the Kennedy Center on National Dance Day, September 17th.

Through dance, live music and storytelling, ‘To Sail Around the Sun’ takes the audience on one child’s journey to gather all four seasons before dinner time.

The show travels beneath the springtime waves of the Australian shores, the summertime rainforests of Argentina, the autumn leaves of Japan, and the wintry snows of Kazakhstan. Set to Antonio Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” and performed by a live string quartet (of the musical organization Sound Impact), the show is designed for families and children of all ages.

“An aural and visual feast, ‘To Sail Around the Sun’ is wonderfully inventive,” Jennifer Perry of Broadway World said in a 2017 review. “Certainly, it’s true that any young child could learn this science lesson in a classroom, but at Kennedy Center the lesson is presented in a way that also enchanted this adult.”

‘To Sail Around the Sun’ was originally created in 2017 by Paul Gordon Emerson, Kathryn Pilkington, Jason Garcia Ignacio, Robert J. Priore and Alicia Canterna. Co-Artistic Director Kathryn Pilkington oversaw the 2022 re-staging of the show.

Company E recently performed ‘To Sail Around the Sun’ in Richmond, Virginia and at DC Public Schools (DCPS). One DCPS teacher said of the show: “[The students] loved the diversity and inclusivity of the characters and roles. They loved seeing the emotions of the music and dancers.”

The September 17th performances at the Kennedy Center will feature eight Company E dancers alongside Sound Impact’s live string quartet. Additionally, special guest Amikaeyla Gaston, who played Mother Earth in the 2017 staging, will return to the Kennedy Center in her original role.

Join Company E on National Dance Day to celebrate movement, music, and the planet we call home.

Showtimes: September 17 at 11am and 2pm EST, in the Kennedy Center’s Family Theater.

About Company E

Using science as a source and art as an inspiration, Company E engages audiences and cultures around the globe and at home with art and education programs described as “breathtaking” by The Washington Post.

The Washington, DC-based contemporary repertory dance company, dance education and interdisciplinary arts organization emphasizes international collaborations with the great choreographers, dancers, composers, film-makers and artists at work today.

Globally, members of Company E serve as cultural diplomats through engagement with missions around the world and the U.S. Department of State. At home, Company E has been commissioned six times by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts since 2012. The company works with Washington Performing Arts on school-time arts education programming and runs an in-house school for dance: The Movement Center.

President Joe Biden yesterday signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law, which included the first NASA authorization passed by Congress in over five years. That section of the Act, Title VII of the science division, included the full text of Rep. Don Beyer’s Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act. Beyer chairs the House Science Committee’s Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics; he introduced the Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act to bolster NASA’s efforts to create the next generation of climate-friendly aviation while also reducing the impact of airplane noise in airport-adjacent communities.

“Climate change and aircraft noise have always been two of the most consistent constituent concerns in my district. I wrote a bill to address both problems – the Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act – which President Biden just signed into law,” said Beyer. “As the climate crisis continues to harm American communities, ensuring we are also tackling aviation emissions is vital. This piece of legislation does just that by making the necessary investments to develop the technology to make cleaner flight a reality in addition to driving innovation that would reduce aircraft noise pollution.” 

This legislation sets a goal for cleaner, quieter airplanes, accelerating NASA’s aeronautics work on reducing greenhouse gas and noise emissions. Specifically, this bill:

• Establishes the ambitious goal of commercial airplanes emitting 50 percent less greenhouse gas compared to the highest performing aircraft in 2021 as well as being net-zero by 2050.
• Challenges NASA to work with industry partners to carry out flight tests by 2025 that will enable industry to bring a new generation of more sustainable airplanes into service between 2030 and 2040.
• Authorizes NASA to accelerate its work on electrified propulsion systems and the integration of multiple technologies and airframe concepts to achieve noise and emissions reductions.
• Requires NASA to provide data and insight on new technologies to help the FAA’s work to ensure the safe and effective deployment of these technologies.

Text of the Cleaner, Quieter Airplanes Act is available here.

Alexandria, Virginia- OAR is a local non-profit that supports individuals impacted by the criminal legal system on their journey to rejoining their community and families. The organization is now raising money for the state’s first gender-responsive re-entry program.

Individuals who identify as female have a different set of needs and different reentry experiences from those who identify as male. For example, the majority of women who experience incarceration are primary caregivers to minor children and a crucial part of the re-entry process requires supporting their needs as the head of a family. They are also much more likely than their male-identifying counterparts to have experienced a long history of abuse prior to incarceration. Therefore, tailored services that address that trauma lead to the best outcomes.

Unfortunately, this critical care is scarce or unavailable. A recent assessment of gender-responsive policies and practices in the City of Alexandria found a dearth of gender responsive care in the area. OAR’s new program seeks to fill that void. It will provide gender-responsive and liberation-minded therapeutic services, including individual and group psychotherapy, tailored case management plans, and family reunification support to female-identifying individuals who are coming home to Alexandria, Arlington, and the City Falls Church after experiencing incarceration. Some participants may also enroll in a guaranteed basic income pilot program that provides a monthly stipend over the course of 5 months.

“Women coming out of incarceration have typically suffered multiple lifetime traumas that can disrupt successful reintegration into their families and communities,” says Katy Steinbruck, a 22-year member of the OAR collective who is spearheading the program. “By using innovative support plans that address the distinct pathways to incarceration and rehabilitation experienced by those who identify as female, we can provide our participants with the services that actually meet their needs.”

OAR’s program has enrolled 20 women since its launch on April 19th of this year and is regularly fielding requests to take on more. To that end, OAR is seeking additional grant funding to expand the number of participants this program can serve. It must raise $6,000 by August 12 in order to qualify for a $100,000 grant from the Gannett Foundation. Donations can be made until 9PM (EST) on August 12 at the website link below. Additionally, information on how to provide ongoing donations to the program, or any of OAR’s other programs, can be found at OAR’s general website: www.oaronline.org.

Special invitation to the media: If you would like to MEET the beagles in person at our Rescue Care Center in Falls Church, Va., please contact LDCRF Executive Director Dawn Wallace at (703) 307-7706 or [email protected].

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation assists work of Humane Society of the United States to find placement for approximately 4,000 beagles

FALLS CHURCH, Va., August 8, 2022 — Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation (LDCRF) has welcomed 56 beagles to its Rescue Care Center in Falls Church, Va., from a mass-breeding facility riddled with animal welfare concerns. This effort is a result of the massive undertaking of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to coordinate the removal of approximately 4,000 beagles housed at the Envigo RMS LLC facility in Cumberland, Va., which bred dogs to be sold to laboratories for animal experimentation.

In May, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Envigo RMS LLC alleging Animal Welfare Act violations at the facility. Repeated federal inspections resulted in dozens of violations including findings that some dogs had been “euthanized” without receiving anesthesia, received inadequate veterinary care and insufficient food, and were living in unsanitary conditions.

“It takes a massive network of compassionate, expert shelters and rescues to make an operation of this scale possible,” said Lindsay Hamrick, shelter outreach and engagement director for the Humane Society of the United States. “We are deeply grateful to each organization that is stepping up to find these dogs the loving homes they so deserve.”

LDCRF is honored to partner with the HSUS. Volunteers picked up the first transfer of dogs on Friday, August 5, 2022, and the rescue is now working to meet the significant medical and care needs of the beagles. LDCRF specifically agreed to receive high-need cases such as nursing dogs and their puppies, as well as senior dogs. Once observed and determined eligible, the beagles will be available for adoption.

A dedicated page for the beagles’ needs and care can be found on the rescue’s website, https://www.lostdogrescue.org/beaglerescue/. There are multiple ways for people to be involved including donating for care and supplies, contributing from various Wishlists, volunteering at the Rescue Care Center, fostering, adopting, and more.

“We are working hard to provide whatever support is needed for the beagles. We look forward to showing these dogs a lot of love and attention – warm beds, medical care, and forever families. We also recognize that the crisis already facing our shelters is not going to pause. Therefore, we really need support from our community, sponsors, and volunteers to sustain our work and to ensure we can continue to fulfill our mission,” said Dawn Wallace, Executive Director of Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation.

This rescue effort comes at a time when all shelters are experiencing capacity crises. LDCRF remains committed to working with its existing rescue partners to balance the needs of all dogs and cats brought into the organization. The organization depends on assistance from the community to help homeless pets find their way into loving homes through rescue and adoption. LDCRF has saved more than 40,000 dogs and cats since its founding in 2001.
