ANNOUNCEMENTS 

 

Grantee Celebration

The Giving Circle of HOPE recently awarded grants to ten exceptional nonprofit organizations that help people in need in Northern Virginia, bringing our eight year total "investment" in the community to over $400,000.

The celebration will be on Friday, March 2, 2012 from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm.  Please come celebrate with us as we honor our 2011 grantees. The evening will be a wonderful time to mix and mingle with members and friends of the Giving Circle of HOPE and the nonprofits. Each of the ten nonprofits will have a representative and a display table so that you can learn more about their work, while enjoying a glass of wine and delicious refreshments. You are welcome to bring a friend or several! We look forward to seeing you.

Please note the venue for this year’s celebration; Midtown at Reston Town Center located at 11990 Market Street. There is a parking garage at 1855 Saint Francis Street (park anywhere on the first level and take elevator up to Market Street) or a parking garage at 1860 Explorer Street (one street over from Market Street).
