In appreciation of Dr. Teferra- ECDC

Staff, family, and friends of Dr. Tsehaye Teferra, the founder and executive of the Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC), threw him a surprise appreciation celebration at ECDC headquarters along Columbia Pike. His many long years of advocating for the African immigrant community, for refugees from all over the world, and for his kind and capable leadership in civic affairs brought him this accolade.

And - he was really surprised!

Thanks to Kidist Ebenezer for organizing the event.

Arlington County Fair 2024

The Arlington County Fair was held again this year at the Thomas Jefferson Community Center, along the Columbia Pike corridor, with colorful rides, displays, organizations, businesses, competitions, and attractions. There was record-breaking attendance by our diverse community, and a lively happy time was had by all.

This is what peace looks like.

Thanks to Matt Richard, Elise Moore, and the rest of the crew of volunteers from the Arlington County Fair for their good work for our community and for their help.
