Monthly Meeting and Social Hour
2024-11-14 18:00 - 20:00 | Ashby Ponds, Ashby Ponds, Ashburn, 20147, United States
Time: Social 6:00 PM followed by Post Meeting 7:00 PM
Date: November 14, 2024
Location: Ashby Ponds, Farmwell Hall building 44734
Address: Ashby Ponds, Ashburn, VA 20147

Parking at Ashby Ponds

Enter Ashby Ponds Blvd from Gloucester Parkway – Use the visitors lane on the left
Please provide the attendant at the guard shack your name and inform them you are attending the American Legion meeting in “Farmwell Hall”, building number 44734. You will receive a parking pass to display on top of your dash.
Once through the gate (watch for cars on your right!), turn right at the stop sign onto Maple Branch Terrace, and stay on this road until you reach a second stop sign. The road now becomes Audubon Square, splitting left and right, and a water fountain is ahead of you. Farmwell Hall is the building directly behind the fountain. Look for parking anywhere in this area.
All parking is open parking with a parking pass, throughout Ashby Ponds. Spots either have “visitor”, numbers or letters painted on them; you can use any open spot, other than the EV recharge or handicap spots, unless you qualify to do so.
If there is no spot open to you, go to the additional parking lot: turn back the way you came in on Maple Branch Terrace to the stop sign at Cardinal Ponds Terrace intersection; go through the intersection and take the next left. This is the visitors and employees lot. Find a parking spot in there, and catch the shuttle bus to Farmwell Hall.
You can get a general idea of the layout by viewing map/satellite imagery at https://mapcarta.com/26845578 and zooming in; Farmwell Hall is shown as “Town Hall Chapel” .

If you need to use the overflow parking tonight, get a slot close to Maple Grove (MG) Assisted Living Facility (parking lot “M”). Walk to portico over entrance door to MG and catch shuttle bus to Farmwell Hall.

Monthly Meeting and Holiday Party
2024-12-05 19:00 - 20:30 | Ashburn Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department (AVFRD), 20688 Ashburn Road, Ashburn, VA, 20147, United States
Greetings Legionnaires,
Our American Legion Post cordially invites you and your spouse to its 2024 holiday party on 5 December.
The members of Post 2001 will celebrate our accomplishments in 2024 and the upcoming holidays.
We would like a big Post turnout for this event and invite you and your spouse to share camaraderie and holiday festivities with other Post Legionnaires on Thursday, December 5th from 19:00 to 20:30 at the AFVRD Founders Hall, 20688 Ashburn Rd, Ashburn, Virginia (our usual meeting location in Ashburn).
As we have done for many years, this will be our annual Toys for Tots event. We ask you to bring or drop off at least two (2) unwrapped gifts (one for boy, one for girl) to donate to the Toys for Tots program. The Toys for Tots program is especially interested in gifts for infants and teenage girls. In past years our Post has collected a significant number of toys for distribution to less fortunate children through this program.
As in the past, this will be a “pot luck” event. Our Post will provide a main dish, punch, and the cups, plastic ware, plates and other supplies.
We ask everyone to bring a dish for 8 to 10 people as follows:
Last name starts with A to G salad (green or otherwise – Jell-O/pasta/your choice)
Last name starts with H to O side dish
Last name start with P to Z dessert
Dress is “smart” casual.
We would like to get an idea of how many of you can attend by 1 December. Please RSVP to adjutant@ashburlegion.org, and tell us how many guests you will be bringing and what dish you can bring (let us know if you want to bring something special not assigned to your group.)
We look forward to seeing you there!
Happy Holidays!

Understanding adverse Childhood Experiences
Register Here
Details

Adverse Childhood Experiences, known as ACES, can have profound effects on the well-being of an individual and on a community. Trauma can increase the likelihood of developing a chronic disease. There is hope. One stable and caring relationship can mitigate the impacts of trauma. Science tells us that what is predictable is preventable. Studies in brain science, epidemiology, and resilience research has helped us to understand how protection, prevention, and building resilience can improve health, safety, and productivity across our lifespan. Th Fairfax-Falls Community Services Board invites you to join us for a presentation on “Building Resilient Communities and Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)” to learn how hope and connection can buffer ACEs.
In this 2.5-hour presentation you will learn:

How trauma impacts brain development.
The effects of childhood adversity and trauma on population health.
Resilience – what we can all do to improve health and well-being across the lifespan and within our community.

We can all make a difference in creating vibrant, healthy communities.
