McLEAN COMMUNITY CENTER

Who We Are, What We Do The McLean Community Center (MCC) was built and is funded by residents of Greater McLean for their use through a real estate tax surcharge, the result of a 1970 bond referendum (Small District One A-Dranesville). Center facilities include the 383-seat Alden Theatre, the McLean Project for the Arts galleries, the Susan B. DuVal Art Studio, meeting and conference rooms, a rehearsal studio and a classroom/commercial kitchen. Local open clubs and organizations use the Center for their monthly meetings without charge. Center facilities may be rented for private functions such as business conferences, receptions, parties and recitals. District residents and businesses pay reduced fees. Registrations for McLean Youth Athletics and McLean Little League activities are regularly held at the Center, and information on their activities is always available in the lobby. The Center also operates the award-winning Old Firehouse Teen Center, located at 1440 Chain Bridge Rd. in downtown McLean.

I applaud the MCC Board for keeping the upcoming new addition within reserve funds and I will stay within budget.

If elected to the Board, I hope to bring fresh ideas for the continued improvement in MCC’s services to the McLean community. E-mail: shahnazmaguire@aol.com

Desi Woltman As a candidate for MCC’s Governing Board, I am committed to MCC’s role of community building through civic engagement. MCC is vital to the unique, small town character of McLean. When our family moved here 11 years ago, its diverse programs, activities and services made us feel welcome, and allowed us to quickly become part of the community fabric. I want to preserve MCC’s legacy and optimize its value to all residents through fiscally responsible stewardship of its program and facilities. My experience and insight will ensure that MCC continues to be responsive to the needs of the community. Email: desi.woltman@gmail.com

Email: alexforgoverningboard@gmail.com

Liana Keesing My name is Liana Keesing, and I’m excited to be running for the position of Langley student representative to the MCC Governing Board! Previously, I’ve been a Virginia Senate Page, President of my student government and an appointed member of the TJHSST Homecoming Committee. I bring enthusiasm, initiative and creativity to everything I do. As a cellist, I will work to create more opportunities for local students to showcase their abilities in the arts. I also want to promote environmentally friendly practices to ensure that the town I love remains a sustainable, diverse and vibrant community for years to come. Email: lianaformccboard@outlook.com

Quentin Levin I run not merely to take office, but to make MCC a better organization. Serving at MCC for the past year, I’ve developed an understanding — community makes us who we are. I vow to continue spreading MCC’s explorative spirit and goodwill by championing innovative programs for every age/ interest. As class president, debate team leader and journalist, I know how to listen and fight. I believe life must be lived to its fullest.

Sam Gollob I am so fortunate to have lived in McLean all my life and it is very important to me to give back. I have been the president of my McLean High School class of 2018 for the last two years. I try to be a leader and role model on my club; high school and summer swim teams. Also, I volunteer coach for a Special Olympics swim team. As your leader, I hope to act as a voice for the youth of McLean to make our community an even better place. Email: samtg2018@gmail.com

Riya Master My name is Riya Master and I am a sophomore at McLean HS. I am interested in being a doctor, and I thoroughly enjoy math. I serve on the Teen Advisory Board for the public libraries. Last summer, I worked as a volunteer at Children’s National, providing great job experience. Additionally, my resume includes the JV field hockey and soccer teams, debate, Model United Nations and DECA. Multiple national/local competition experiences have given me a strong insight on policy and working effectively in a committee or team. I believe I can make a difference and benefit the governing board. Email: riyamaster@gmail.com

Mariana Patterson I enjoy taking other people’s ideas and thoughts into account when making decisions, especially if I’m working together with them to achieve a common goal. Being bilingual in both English and Spanish aids me in this trait. My organizational skills are another strong characteristic of mine as I consider them to be both my greatest weakness and strength because I often make lists in order to structure a plan that I want to obtain, no matter the size. However, I feel uneasy if I proceed to do a task without a formulated strategy. Email: patterson.mariana@gmail.com

“The Magic of Bill Blagg Live!” comes to The Alden for one show only! Critics and audiences alike rave about his incredible high-energy, grand-scale magic and illusion that will have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief.

Chamber Music Concerts at The Alden

“Gut Churn” from Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad

Free chamber music concerts cosponsored by the Music Friends of the Fairfax County Public Library and The Alden.

www.jadabumrad.com Saturday, June 11, 8 p.m. $30/$15 MCC district residents What does it mean to “innovate?” This was a question Radiolab host Jad Abumrad was frequently asked after being awarded a MacArthur “Genius Grant” in 2011. This multimedia exploration, on one level, is the personal story of how Jad invented a new aesthetic. On another, it is a clinic in the art of storytelling. On a third and more profound level, it is the result of a three-year investigation into the science, philosophy and art of uncertainty, which all began with the two words that are the title of this talk. “Gut Churn.” WAMU is a proud sponsor of this event.

Watercolor: Evening Alfresco

Drawing into Painting

Work directly from the landscape and surrounding nature in this outdoor watercolor class. We will explore how the later afternoon light transforms our subjects, and we will hone in on different inspirations we find in the summer evening setting. For a portion of each class, when it gets dark, we will bring our work into the studio and continue to work and critique inside. This class is led by MPA exhibiting artist Carol Barsha, who has much experience teaching watercolor outdoors, and employs this medium and setting in her own work.

For beginning and intermediate students. Hit the refresh button this summer and get your skills and confidence up! You will bring your drawing skills up to speed with measuring, composition, shading and gesture through exercises to help you loosen up as well as hone in your technical and observational skills. Students will select either acrylic or oil, and we will explore mixing, different applications, and using color in the composition as we build our paintings. The materials list will include choices for basic acrylic or oil. Instructor: Naomi Chung.

Volunteer Certification Program

For 2nd–5th Graders Your child will work alongside accomplished D.C. area theatre professionals and teaching artists during daily rehearsals in dancing, singing and acting. With props and costumes, singing and scene work, your child’s experience will culminate in a youth-appropriate, full-scale performance of “Camp Runamuk: A Musical Caper” in The Alden for friends and family. Please note that casting is at the discretion of the director. Space is limited.

Technical Certification introduces students to all aspects of technical production, including safety issues, and is designed to assist local arts organizations with their productions. Participants who complete the certification qualify for additional one-on-one training on computerbased lighting, audio and rigging control systems. Volunteers may sign up for one or all of the sessions. Please wear comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement and loafers or closed-toe shoes with laces or Velcro.
