Volunteer Opportunities Across the Area
Good morning – Congratulations and thank you to all the volunteers who joined us last week at the 30th Annual Community Volunteer Recognition event. It was a great day and we are most appreciative to Congressman Gerry Connolly for taking the time to enter the names of over 1,900 local volunteers into the Congressional Record of the 113th Congress. Many thanks and Cheers to all!

MANASSAS, Va. — Police at Northern Virginia Community College in Manassas are investigating a sexual assault that took place in the college’s parking lot.
Officers on Thursday were notified about the attack, which happened at the campus’ B1 metered parking lot at 2 p.m. Tuesday, where the victim of the assault had been walking.
QUANTICO, Va. — Want to run your own coffee shop and sell train tickets? There may be an opportunity for you at the Quantico Virginia Railway Express station. The commuter railroad wants to talk to interested people about setting up shop at the train station that sits just outside the “crossroads of the Marine Corps.”
VRE is looking for a company to run a full-service coffee shop, offer food, sell train tickets, and maintain the restrooms, between 5 and 9:30 a.m., and between 3 and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, except on holidays when the trains don’t run.
DUMFRIES, Va. — Police say an arranged meeting between a man and a woman at a Dumfries hotel room led to an armed robbery.
The 23-year-old female victim in the case told police she arranged to meet a man she didn’t know at a Comfort Inn on Old Stage Coach Road. Police were called there at 12:10 a.m. Wednesday.
WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Police say they’ve caught the man who allegedly exposed himself to patrons at Noodles & Company restaurant in Woodbridge.
David Lynn Scriven, 57, was arrested Wednesday on charges of indecent exposure. He was found at a nearby shopping plaza and was arrested without incident, police said.
My roommate, Leyla and I enjoy eating similar things. This makes both of our lives easier, as we can share food and alternate cooking meals (she’s an exceptional sharer).
Last week, Leyla shared with me that she was planning to take the 10-day “Real Food Pledge.” Since it sounded like something I would be on board with, I immediately said, “Oh, I’ll do that too.” I wasn’t too sure what exactly I just signed up for, but I’m always up for a healthy dietary challenge. I’m currently on day four.
WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A 39-year-old library in Woodbridge will soon feel as if it’s brand new.
A newly constructed patio will open at the Potomac Library on Saturday. Residents have been invited to gather with officials from the Prince William County Public Library System and elected leaders to cut the ribbon for the new terrace Saturday at 10 a.m.
