- Next general membership meeting: Tuesday,
May 20, 2008, from 7:15 PM to 9:00
PM, Nottingham
Elementary
School (in the Library), 5900 Little Falls Road, Arlington, VA

- Annual Meeting and Elections
- Meeting agenda to be determined
- The Williamsburg Civic
Association is sponsoring its fourth annual pancake breakfast to
celebrate Arlington’s Neighborhood Day!
- Saturday, May 10, 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. at Little Falls Presbyterian Church, 6025 Little Falls Road.
- This is a great opportunity to meet your
neighbors, enjoy some good food, help strengthen your local civic
association, and join in commemorating Arlington’s most important
annual event.
- The breakfast includes freshly made pancakes,
butter and syrup, bacon and sausages, along with coffee and orange
juice. All this for the low price of $6 for adults and $3 for
children under 12. Any proceeds will benefit the civic
association. The breakfast is being organized by Ann Rudd and
Mike Murtha.
- The Williamsburg Civic Association is seeking a volunteer to be president of the association.
- We are looking for a volunteer who would be interested
and willing to serve as the president of the Williamsburg Civic
Association for the upcoming year (May 2008 to May 2009 –
elections are typically held each May). The current president,
Mark Moran will be unable to serve this coming year. Elections
are planned for the May 20 civic association meeting. We have
four seasoned candidates for four of the five officer positions:
- President: (No current nominee)
- Vice President: Coral Gundlach
- Treasurer: Jim Toronto
- Secretary: Jim Finley
- Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC) Representative: Lisa Moses
If we cannot find a volunteer willing to serve as president for the
upcoming year, the civic association may need to go dormant until we
find such a person. If the association goes dormant, we will find
it difficult to continue with programs such as traffic calming, street
beautification, new sidewalks, lights, and parks. Being dormant
could also hinder our ability to address potential changes that could
occur to our neighborhood as part of the East Falls Church Metrorail
development plan.
Duties
- Presides over meetings of the civic association and
the executive committee. There are typically four civic
association meetings per year (Feb., May, Sept., Nov.) and about four
to six executive committee meetings a year.
- With the help of the executive committee, finds one or two guest speakers for each civic association meeting.
- Acts as the spokesperson on matters concerning the association.
- Appoints chairpersons of any committees that are formed
Minimum qualifications

Interested?
If you are interested and have questions, please feel free to contact

- Please pay your dues at
or before the next general membership meeting on May 20, if you have
not done so in the last year. The civic association is running
low on funds. Each time we send out a paper newsletters to the
1,000 households in the civic association, it costs about $700.
Only about 10% of households in the civic
association are current with their dues. Dues are $5 per person
(adults over 18). Please fill out this form
and send it with your
check, payable to "Williamsburg Civic Association," to our
treasurer, Jim Toronto (3577 N. Powhatan Street, Arlington, VA
