Local Event: Annual AHS Members Meeting

Annual AHS Members Meeting

The Arlington Historical Society will hold its annual meeting of 
members on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at 7:00 pm. The meeting...

<p>In the late 1700s, the first bridges, now completely gone, connected the&nbsp;new Federal City to the outside world. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, more and bigger crossings arose to support&nbsp;industry, allow the expansion of suburbs, commemorate cultural and civic&nbsp;leaders, and enhance the aesthetics of the District’s waterfronts and&nbsp;parks. Although the city abandoned civic-minded, commemorative, and&nbsp;monumental constructions for utilitarian highway monoliths in the&nbsp;mid-twentieth century, a recent renaissance has seen a welcome shift to&nbsp;walkability and beauty instead of brute utility.&nbsp;Using the city’s&nbsp;bridges as an index of the times, our speaker, author Bob Dover tracks&nbsp;how connecting to Virginia impacted both Virginia and DC from the 1750s&nbsp;to today.</p><p>This event immediately follows a brief annual AHS members’ meeting.&nbsp;This event will be in-person and via Zoom.</p>

<p><b>Nathan’s Cancer Slayers</b>, a local Arlington fundraising team under Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, invites the community to <strong>Cocktails for a Cause — An Amalfi Coast Evening</strong> on <strong>Sunday, June 14</strong> in Georgetown. ✨🍸</p>
<p>This inaugural silent auction will bring together friends, neighbors, and community supporters for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a fun silent auction — all raising funds for childhood cancer research in honor of <strong>Nathan Fleming</strong>, an Arlington student who passed away from rhabdomyosarcoma in 2019, just one week after turning 18.</p>
<p>Nathan was an Arlington student and alum of Jamestown Elementary, Swanson Middle School, and Washington-Liberty High School. His mom, Michele Fleming, formed Nathan’s Cancer Slayers under Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in 2020, and the team has raised more than <strong>$775,000</strong> to advance childhood cancer research.</p>
<p>This year’s auction will support promising research led by <strong>Dr. Valter Longo at USC</strong> and <strong>Dr. JinSeok Park at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles</strong>, with the goal of moving this work toward clinical trials for children within the next 2-3 years.</p>
<p>Guests can <b>attend the event in person, browse and bid online from anywhere, or make a donation directly.</b> Auction items include luxury getaways, VIP experiences, local packages, handcrafted items, and more.</p>
<p>Every ticket, donation, and auction bid will be matched <strong>1:1 by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation up to $30,000</strong>, doubling the impact of community support.&nbsp;💪</p>
<p><b>Event details, tickets, auction preview, Nathan’s story, and more about the research team are available here:</b></p>
