Now Selling for a Great Cause:  

White House Ornaments!

Great Falls Friends and Neighbors has kicked off its White House Ornament sale - with 100% of the proceeds going directly to one of our charities, Artemis House. Artemis House is a Fairfax County shelter for women and children; it services victims of domestic violence and human trafficking.  We are pleased this year to again offer these beautiful ornaments for $25, despite unit increases.  And we encourage you to buy your ornaments early - though the holidays may seem far away, time flies and the prices might have to go up!

This year's ornament honors President Herbert Hoover, commemorating the Christmas Eve fire of 1929 at the White House.  The story behind this ornament is fascinating, and it's provided in an enclosed booklet that accompanies each piece. Four retail stores are graciously working with us and selling the ornaments: 

• Great Dogs of Great Falls at 9859 Georgetown Pike in Great Falls 
• Studio Hair at 10123 Colvin Run Road in Great Falls 
• Burke Jewelers at 1478 North Point Village Center in Reston
• Studio Hair at 12190 Fairfax Towne Center in Fairfax  

We also plan to sell the ornaments at many of our monthly club meetings! 

Please support this great cause and, at the same time, treat you, your family, and friends to a beautiful holiday gift - it is appreciated!

GFFN had a Fabulous Kick-Off Luncheon!

Great Falls Friends and Neighbors’ Kick-Off Luncheon, held on Friday, September 9, was a grand success.  Our luncheon speaker, Arvind Manocha, the President and CEO of the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, gave a very interesting speech about the history and operation of Wolf Trap.  It was great to see old friends and meet new members.  We look forward to many more exciting events to come!
