Won Awards Participated In Won Awards Participated in The Independence Day Celebration Committee (IDCC), a 501(c)3 organization, and the City of Fairfax welcome you to our 51st July 4th parade celebrating our Nation’s birth with the theme “Volunteers Light Up Fairfax”. Minutes from the Nation’s Capital, this independent city offers an attractive blend of commercial, office, retail, and residential properties combining the charm of a small town with the opportunities of a thriving urban area for the more than 20,000 that call the City of Fairfax home. The City of Fairfax was selected by Forbes Magazine in 2009 as #3 in the nation of the 25 top towns for living well – it is also a wonderful place to live and raise a family. A nationally recognized school system, a healthy residential real estate market and access to outstanding health care are among the advantages cited by residents. In 2011 the National Recreation and Parks and Association (NRPA) awarded the City of Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department a Gold Medal Award ‐ the most prestigious award in the field of parks and recreation ‐ only one of four agencies in Virginia to have won this award since its inception in 1965. Proud of our historic buildings including the site of the first Confederate fatality of the Civil War, we have the largest, most fascinating collection of Civil War graffiti in the nation along with the lore of spies and secrets. Whether it is shopping, dining, cultural arts, festivals, or events as well as the world‐famous GMU Patriots basketball team, you’ll find something exciting to do year round in our City’s friendly, safe environment. For up‐to‐date events in the City of Fairfax on this July 4th, text FFX4TH to 888‐777.

Congratulations to our 2017 Logo Winner ‐‐ Ramona Weaver. Receiving a degree in art from Auburn University, Ramona later did additional art study at Georgia State University and Peralta College in San Francisco. Retired from a career in graphic design, she received awards for design excellence from the Art Directors’ Clubs of New York, Atlanta, Savannah, and from the American Institute of Graphic Arts as well as Art Direction magazine. Locally, Ramona has shown her artwork at the Sherwood Center, Herndon Art Space, Blenheim Civil War Interpretive Center, the Fairfax Railroad Museum, and the Fairfax Art League Galleries as well as at the Artists in Middleburg gallery. Ms. Weaver, according to the old Virginia Creed, “has an introduction to any state in the union ... by virtue of ... having married a Virginian,” and she absolutely loves Fairfax and all its fascinating history. For 50 years, Warren Carmichael has stood on the reviewing stand and announced this parade; in 2006 he was the parade’s grand marshal.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

The sample consisted of 50 students from each country; results concentrate on Jordanian perceptions. Assessments were based on the Associative Group Analysis (AGA) which reconstructs perceptions and attitudes.characteristic of national/cultural groups from their free word associations. Jordanians tended td. ix conflict-ridden and laden with perceived threats and fears of 'aggressive, expansionist.intentions. When compared to a 1977 assessment, 4n increase in their longing for peace, less concern with military threat, more concern with violence and security, and a deterioration in their image of the ited States was evident. Egyptian and I.sraeli perceptions were ilar to the Jordanian emphasis on group and family unity, while Americans valued, individualism and autonomy.

There are some little one-shot stories tacked on to complete the collection, generally showing how Diana sees the good in all manner of beings. Wonder Woman finds out she was the target. Good filler, but filler nonetheless. Wonder Woman: Volume 5 24, Wing Kee rated it really liked it. What adds to the greatness of this run is the fact that no other superhero is part of this story. Want to Read saving…. Yet on the horizon appears a being claiming to be Superman, yet made from a blast of Clark's Solar Flare power. Her struggle with her blood and her choice is a good idea and one worth discussing but the choppy character nature of the story made her lose the impact of the story. It was when it started becoming more involved and convoluted that I found myself losing a bit of interest in it. Seriously, the first five issues of this volume are Wonder Woman: Volume 5 Heart of the Amazon parts one through five. This series originally showed a lot of promise and DC really could have done something memorable here but instead we got stories that were too heavy on the action and not the characters and jumped to and from this series to Superman's less than memorable Wonder Woman: Volume 5.

  • History of Fairfax City
    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.
