This past July 4th Parade was just amazing in spite of the heat! What a great turn-out -- LB residents, friends, and lots of children marched on down Waterway Drive.
We send a heartfelt thank you to our Community Events chair, Alice Edmondson, to the Cookie Coordinators, Nomi Taslitt and Michelle Moorehead, and to the LB Marching Band who cheerfully guided the group, following Jeannie in her flag donning golfcart and the Fairfax County ambulance. All the marching guests in the celebratory walk enjoyed the music from Beach 5 to Beach 3. We send out a special and much deserved recognition with our gratitude to our beloved Jeannie Meyer! This was Jeannie's 50th year of running the parade (with a couple of short breaks in there).
Of course, Independence Day would not be the same without your delicious COOKIES and lemonade at Beach 3. We had a record number of cookies! THANKS to all the bakers! And thanks to all who helped organizing, setting up and making the event such a success: Adele Neuberg, Aileen Pisciotta, Alice Edmondson, Benton and Joan Fisher, Carla Grosz, Carol Hopkins, Cathy Williams, Debbie Ladwig, Denise Dreiman, Dottie Bennett, Eliana Turina, Heidi Bonnaffon, Jan Rasgus, Jenny Alvarez, Jo Ann Krukar Webb, Joanne Wagner, Julianne Mueller, Kathy Utgoff, Laura Fox, Lea Bellas, Linda Haake, Lynn Varshneya, Marilyn Di Paolo, Martha Rubenstein, Merri Brown, Nora Darago, Wanda Martinson and Wendy Diliberti. And thanks to Roseanne Rubin and Elaine Mulligan for all of their website work in preparation for the event.
Continuing the celebration at Beach 3, the band played the National Anthem and other lively patriotic tunes. We’re so grateful for the participation of the Lake Barcroft July 4th Marching Band.
The LBWC Board appreciates the involvement of all its members and their giving spirit which continues to shape our wonderful community.
