Alzheimer’s Association National Capital Area Chapter: “More than 500 people are expected to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s Virginia Tri-Counties on Saturday, Oct. 21 at the Harris Pavilion in Manassas, VA.”
“Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. The ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Walk. Participation is free; however, participants are encouraged to raise funds.”
Captain Tina Laguna has served the Manassas Police Department for over 29 years. She started in 1994 working in the city’s 911 call center. Since then, she has served in every division within the department.
However, Laguna’s initial plan did not include being a police officer. “I grew up in Manassas, specifically in Georgetown South. Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience with the police,” explained Laguna.
Never having visited the Riverside Center for the Performing Arts before, I was unsure what to expect. Theaters always conjure images of damp, dark, old, and slightly threadbare interiors, with their glory days a dim and distant past.
However, this is not the case for the Riverside Center. Its bright interior conveyed none of that, and the welcome by the staff added to the warmth of the atmosphere. In keeping with the play’s setting in the Deep South, the three-course menu complimented southern cuisine and culminated with a generous portion of fennel cake, which would not have been out of place in any county fair.
