The Woodbridge Rotary Club is holding
its 19th Annual Devaney-O’Hop Charity Golf Tournament at Old Hickory
Golf Course on June 16, 2023.
Registration begins at 7:30 AM with a shotgun start at 8:30 AM. This Captain’s Choice format event is to
raise funds for the various charities, both local and global, that the club
annually supports. Locally, Woodbridge
Rotary supports ACTS, ARC of Greater Prince William and others. On a global scale they support Rotary
International’s fight to end polio and disaster relief for ShelterBox (ShelterBox USA – Disaster relief NGO
provides emergency shelter).
The tournament was created to honor
two past club presidents. Both Joe Devaney and Bill O’Hop had among other things, 2
things in common. They were each other’s best friends and they both loved
golf! According to the tournament chair, Mark Worrilow, both were
longtime Rotarians and pillars of the community and club. Mark stated that he is looking for golfers,
sponsors and donations of door prizes to be presented at the banquet following
the tournament.

"This new, dynamic transportation option allows riders to schedule rides using the OmniRide Mobility app, online web portal or by calling OmniRide's Customer Service Office at 703-730-6664. Instead of OmniRide’s traditional bus service, riders are transported in vans that are dispatched upon demand. Upon request, a van will pick-up passengers at designated pick-up points and deliver them to their destination. Rides will be scheduled for same-day travel but cannot be scheduled days in advance."
"OmniRide Connect Microtranist service has been operating in Manassas Park since December 2022. The organization chose the Dumfries area to begin microtranist in the eastern service area as a way to fill unmet travel demands and microtransit also allows for the ability to provide efficient and flexible service, as well as potentially better service frequency and coverage area, for a similar cost to the agency as regular bus service."

When the reversal is complete, the entry points near Courthouse Road and near Garrisonville Road will remain closed until 4 a.m. The southern most entry point into the 95 Express Lanes during this time will be near Dumfries Road.”

Register early at pwcva.gov/summerreading.

Special programs that promote this year’s theme include “All Together Now Art Night” on Tuesday, June 13, in Bull Run Library’s new Hive 8051 Makerspace for grades 11 and up and “I Need a Friend” Story Time with author Keisha Strand at Manassas City Library on Saturday, June 24 at 11:00 a.m. and Chinn Park Library on Saturday, August 5 at 10:30 a.m.”

Insidenova: “Prince William County will be the center of one of the most-watched primary races in this year’s General Assembly elections, as two incumbents seek the Democratic nomination in the 29th State Senate District.”
“Voting began May 5 in the race between Sen. Jeremy McPike, who currently holds the seat, and Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st. Redistricting maps approved in late 2021 moved Guzman into a House district with Del. Luke Torian, so she decided to run for Senate instead.”
McPike is seeking his third term representing the 29th District, having defeated former Manassas Mayor Hal Parrish II, a Republican, by a 7-point margin in 2015 and then running unopposed in 2019. But Guzman will pose the toughest primary challenge for McPike yet.”
