THE JANUARY LUNCHEON WRAP-UP

This past Thursday, the Committee for Dulles (CFD) held its January luncheon at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Herndon. Over 100 attendees heard from Phyllis Randall, Chair of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, and Jeff McKay, Chair of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Pictured above from left to right are Chair Randall, Peter Lauten, President of Committee for Dulles, and Chair McKay. A video of their presentations is posted on the Committee for Dulles YouTube Channel.

CFD is appreciative of all the various event sponsors and thanks them for the support of this event and of CFD. The sponsors include Loudoun County Economic Development, DWC Holdings, Fairfax County EDA, CLEAR, the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation, Clarke-Hook, and GAM Graphics and Marketing.

Mark Treadaway, President of Committee for Dulles Community Outreach (CFDCO), reported that the CFDCO raffle was a success with nearly $1,000 raised for the Dulles Airport Scholarship Program at the luncheon. Scott York, the CFDCO Treasurer, said, "The CFDCO is grateful for the tremendous support we receive from the attendees of our various luncheons. Their support goes a long way to help CFDCO with its mission to help graduating high school seniors who work or volunteer at the airport or have a parent/guardian that works or volunteers there." Anyone interested in supporting this wonderful program may do so by donating online.

SPECIAL DULLES ARTS TOUR

On Tuesday, January 23, the Aviation & Airport Activities Committee (A&AAC) did a walking tour of the arts at Dulles Airport. Michael Cabbage, MWAA's Corporate Relations Manager, lead a tour showing the different displays of artwork throughout the airport complex. Whether you are at the main terminal, the tunnel to garage 1, or at concourse A, B, C, or D, you will be treated to many wonderful pieces of artwork done by artists of all ages.

Marsha Senack said, "I was impressed with the variety of arts. MWAA's collaboration with local arts organizations brings student art to the public for the first time; installations also commemorate past events related to air flight and the region such as 911 and the Tuskegee Airmen; and non-profits which use art to bring their mission to the public". Marsha is a member of the A&AAC and had arranged for the arts tour.
