Herndon Village Network (HVN) is looking for caring volunteers to drive local senior citizens to doctor appointments, grocery stores, social engagements, and more!
<a href="https://herndonvillagenetwork.org/volunteer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Click here to volunteer!</a>
HVN provides senior members with free, unlimited access to day and evening transportation on weekdays and weekends. This more organized concept of neighbors helping neighbors encourages older residents to age in the Herndon community and allows them to maintain established routines and connections, which results in a higher quality of life.
If you are age 25 or older with an excellent driving record, you are eligible to serve as an HVN volunteer. Volunteers undergo vetting, and HVN pays for secondary car insurance. It&rsquo;s so easy and flexible, as you decide how often you would like to help and select from a number of ride requests via an automated system. Best of all, you&rsquo;ll be making a difference in the lives of local senior citizens!

As a musical prelude to our country 250th
anniversary, we present a celebration of the people, stories, and songs that give voice to the American spirit and our unique and varied musical identity.
The program begins with the traditions of Indigenous peoples and continues through the hymns of early settlers and the spirituals born from slavery, music that reflects both struggle and hope. As America grew, immigrant cultures enriched its musical landscape, leading to songs of unity and resilience from the Civil War through World Wars I and II. The journey continues to Broadway, where American stories and aspirations came vividly to life on stage.

The concert concludes with Randall Thompson’s The Testament of Freedom, a powerful musical affirmation of liberty and the enduring ideals that continue to define America and remind us of music's ability to bring people together.
