KW United-Falls Church Coat Drive
Alison Miller and KW United-Falls Church are collecting winter coats to benefit the families supported by Comunidad in Seven Corners. The kick-off for the annual drive will be Saturday, October 23 at the picnic pavilion at Cherry Hill Park between 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Coats, hats, and gloves will continue to be collected at 105 W. Broad Street, second floor, over Ireland’s Four Provinces through December.
Halloween-Dressed Windows Invite All to Shop and Stroll
The windows of Falls Church now have a Halloween-theme. Local restaurants and retailers have participated in the Falls Church Halloween Window Painting Festival sponsored by Falls Church Arts. This event has run since 2008, displaying the artistic talents of business owners with their depiction of bats, witches, pumpkins, ghosts and all things Halloween. There are two more weeks to take in the artwork when you visit Falls Church businesses. Shop and stroll Falls Church.
NOVA Nightsky Theatre Production of Picnic
The New NOVA Nightsky Theatre debut of William Inge’s Picnic will run this weekend, October 22-23, at the American Legion in Falls Church City. Since it is outdoors, the audience is invited to bring a blanket and picnic to the show. Doors open at 6 for the 6:30 performance. Tickets are $12, general admission; $9, seniors, and $5 for veterans, active-duty military, and first responders. Nightsky Theatre plans to produce three to four shows annually. For more information on the theater and upcoming shows, visit www.novanightskytheater.com.
Urgent Need for Blood Donations at INOVA
INOVA seeks blood donors of all blood types, but especially Type B and O blood. Just a week ago, they were completely out of both B-negative and AB-negative blood. Supplies are low in part because Type B blood is rare, comprising only about 10 percent of the U.S. population, according to the American Red Cross. Type O is particularly valuable because O-negative can be used for all patients. INOVA Health System reports that it needs approximately 200 blood donations per day to maintain a sufficient inventory for the region. A donation takes 15 minutes and can save three lives.
Dispose Old and Unused Prescriptions this Saturday
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is this Saturday, October 23 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. This event happens twice a year and provides a safe and convenient option for disposing of the prescription drugs and prevent them from getting into the wrong hands. This is free and anonymous, and all pills are accepted with the exception of liquids, needles and sharps. The Falls Church Police Department is a participating agency and will collect prescriptions outside of City Hall, 300 Park Avenue.
