STAFFORD, Va. — The non-profit organization in Stafford County dedicated to the betterment of animals is growing.
The Stafford County SPCA is less than five years old, is a no-kill animal shelter, and has an office on U.S. 1 in Stafford and a facility in the rural Brooke section of the county. But now they need help and are looking for some caring, talented people, and are telling the community more about what they do.
Chick-fil-A Woodbridge operator Luis Hevia and his team wish the Potomac Communities a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season. Visit them at 2425 Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge and enjoy seasonal music from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13, and the Prince William police Santa Ride at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 18.
Thanks to Chick-fil-A of Woodbridge for their continued sponsorship of local news and events right here in Prince William and Stafford counties on PotomacLocal.com.

UPDATE
Harrell Road was reopened after repairs were reportedly made to a broken gate at a water crossing there.
I just packed for my flight home from Okinawa, Japan. I’ll be flying through Tokyo and because I have to switch from a Domestic Airport (Hanada) to an International Airport (Nareta), I’ll be spending the night there. As I make sure I haven’t forgotten anything, I am also thinking about the list of “to do’s” when I get home. At the top of that list will be to make some donations to a few of the worthy not for profits in our community (and a couple National and International Organizations). I’ve been luckier than most in life and like to share my modest success in life those who because of chance or circumstance weren’t quite so lucky.
I spend a lot of time thinking about my charitable giving. It’s a very personal decision. My choices reflect my beliefs and personal philosophy. I favor small groups lead by mostly volunteers because I recognize they are driven by a passion to help others. I also look carefully at the percentage of revenue a group devotes to programs versus overhead. Yes, I look at the IRS 990’s, and draw upon my personal experiences.
It seems another restaurant chain has opted to truck in food that was once made in house.
One of my sinful pleasures, Chipotle, is no longer making their tangy honey vinaigrette salad dressing inside the restaurants – this according the manager who asked me to tell him if I liked the new dressing that is now shipped into the restaurant known for its football-sized burritos.

Memo to the Prince William County Planning Commission,
This evening, you will be discussing the fate of Purcell Road and the Purcell Road Widening Project. While I live in “the neighborhood”, and naturally don’t want to see this local treasure covered with asphalt, I would like to bring a larger issue to your attention.
