UPCOMING EVENTS:
Way off in the Distance - July 11th, 10 am until 2 pm: Fort Stevens' Day is coming up! Curious about the time DC almost was sacked by the Confederacy? Well, come over the river and learn about Fort Stevens and its pivotal role in defending the nation's capital. Fort Stevens is located on Quackenbos ST NW between 13th ST NW and Georgia AVE NW, just south of the old Walter Reed campus.
Were you at the Pentagon on 9/11? Were you in Arlington helping with the 9/11 rescue? If so, the Arlington County Public Library is looking to record your story of the day. If you were, please let the
Post leadership know.
Family-Friendly Events: We have several members with school-age kids who we want to keep engaged with the Post. Are you one of them? Please let us know how we can host more family-friendly events at the Post. Easter Egg Hunt? Trick or treat? If this interests you, please bring it up at the next General Meeting or email the Sr. Vice Commander.
Commander's Note: We are continuing the themes of participation and financial stability as the two focus areas for 2026-27, and you will hear these themes in most communications from the Post. If you cannot increase your participation in Post events, consider making a donation, which is important to your Post's financial health. Please consider a monthly recurring donation to the Post. It's the best way to help ensure the Post's longevity. It is as simple as clicking this link and filling out the form: Recurring Donation Form.
REFLEX Comedy Classes: Reflex Improv will offer FREE Intro to Improv classes to members of VFW Post 3150. During class, you will learn about the fundamentals of improv comedy, including Yes-And, Got Your Back teamwork, creating characters on the fly, and recognizing and playing with scene game. Nocturnal or comedy experience needed! If you're interested in joining the classes, please email Daniel Brown and cc Mike Cantwell. Include your full name and contact information, and state that you are a member of VFW Post 3150.
Veterans in Need: If you know of a Veteran in need, here are some resources that can help them in Virginia or in the greater DMV area:
US Vets: US Vets (here is a link to their Website) has just opened a Service Hub in DC. If you know of a Veteran facing housing insecurity, please link them up with US Vets. As a note, we have a Post member who is a counselor for US Vet, our Chaplain, Chris G.
• Contact Edwin Robles if you live in either Fairfax County or Arlington County.
• If you have the resources to donate money for assisting a Veteran, the Virginia Department of Veteran Services recommends donating by sending a check to Northern Virginia Vietnam Veterans of America, PO Box 2111, Reston, VA 20195.
Donations: Our zoning infractions case is almost complete; the amendment is sitting on the Zoning Administrator's desk as I type. Although the legal firm we are working with is not requiring us to pay the full bill, we will still have a legal bill as well as bills for landscape plans and surveys.
We continue to need member support for our legal battle against a neighbor with substantial financial resources.
Volunteer Opportunity: The VA is seeking four volunteers to serve as Advisors for their Summer Youth Program. These volunteers will support daily sign-ins, distribute meal tickets, and help ensure all students are transported safely and efficiently to their respective departments. The hours would be Wednesday and Thursday from 8 am – noon for the duration of the cycle (June 23 – August 6). If you are interested, please contact Ryan H at the VA Hospital CDCE office. You can also download the application here.
