About 60 general aviation aircraft will close Reagan National Airport for an hour on May 11, with a backup date of May 12, for the National Celebration of General Aviation DC Flyover. This event, commemorating the first proclamation of Aviation Day by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the 85th anniversary of the creation of AOPA, will feature aircraft representing the roles and eras of general aviation since 1939.&nbsp;
The flyover will be visible from the mall area in D.C. and will be streamed live on AOPA’s YouTube channel with commentary by AOPA Live anchor Tom Haines and veteran aviation journalist Miles O’Brien starting at 11:45 EDT. The aircraft will follow the Potomac River to downtown Washington, flying over the National Mall and down Independence Ave, passing through airspace closed to non-military and emergency aircraft since 9/11, including the highly restricted P56 airspace. The flyover will showcase a range of aircraft from antiques to the newly certified Piper M700 Fury, and will include recreational, training, amphibious, homebuilt, military, and law enforcement aircraft. The event will conclude with a formation smoke show by the Titan Aerobatic Team flying four WWII-era T-6 Texans, though without performing aerobatics.

We’ll discuss new member requirements, what being a League member looks like, and next steps. Click <a href="https://www.jlnv.org/membership/how-to-join/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.jlnv.org/membership/how-to-join/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1689444835656000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1PEvhkn8bcqk6YwB3urCnl">here</a> to see how to join.
Meet in front of the brewery for a 1, 3, or 5 mile run or walk (it’s an out and back route so really it’s as long as you care to make it).

We’ll meet back at the brewery no later than 7:15 p.m. to chat about Junior League and enjoy a cool drink.

This is a livingroom concert. An intimate listening room experience in a crumbling late Qing Dynasty rowhouse in NW Washington DC's Petworth neighborhood. I bring a mix of established artists and emerging new players. BYOB and a friend and come listen to some great music!
RSVP to the host for more information:

Sofia Talvik is a rare artist and an avid storyteller with a voice comparable to giants like Joni Mitchell, or as the Folk/Americana Magazine NoDepression said it ”A singer/songwriter who is able to evoke the essence of Laurel Canyon circa the ‘60s as expressed in the work of Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Buffy Sainte-Marie and others who were able to paint beautiful tapestries from words and music.”.
Prepare yourself for a unique and intimate evening, not unlike the 70's coffeehouses and speakeasy's. You will be up close and personal with a world class act that has played big festivals like Lollapalooza and SxSW and opened for artists like Maria McKee and David Duchovny (X-files, Californication). It is in this kind of setting where she can casually joke and communicate with the audience that her strength as a performer shines the most.
Her delicate songs are performed in an intimate way, showing off Sofia’s angelic voice enhanced only by a tasteful mix of harmonies and delays, accompanied by the steady picking of her acoustic guitar and the rhythm section consisting of her own two feet, bells and a stomp box.
She's an experienced international touring artist who has toured through 48 U.S states, many of the countries in Europe and far away places like New Zealand.
Her latest album "Center of the Universe" was released in 2023. Throughout the 10 songs on the album, there is a broad range of topics of some of life’s most earnest moments, ranging from the Ukraine War, American women’s rights, the thousands of missing children in the US and the torment of domestic violence survivors across the world. The album went straight into the top 20 on Folk Radio Charts USA in August 2023, with the first single charting in the top 10. The album was considered for a Grammy nomination for "Best Folk album" 2023.

Join us at Gunston Hall as we commemorate the 248th anniversary of the 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights. In writing this document, George Mason took some of the first steps in American history to make this country and the world a better place. They were not perfect steps. Mason owned slaves his entire life and the rights in the Declaration applied to a specific segment of society. Countless people have since worked to make the ideals of the Declaration a reality for everyone.
This program will happen rain or shine. In the event of rain, some activities may move indoors. 

This program is complimentary for all attendees. Some experiences will require a complimentary, timed ticket which may be picked up the day of the event.
