It’s Signup Time for the 2026 Memorial Day Weekend Poppy Distribution

It’s about six weeks from our Memorial Day poppy distribution and we have less than 25% of our slots filled. This is one of our two major fund-raising events in the year and we need your help! We need post members to sign-up for as many slots as you can support.

We have now added time slots Sunday, May 24th, at the Brambleton Farmers Market and if we have enough volunteers we can have folks at the One Loudoun Farmers market on Saturday the 23rd. As usual our main effort will be at the Giant Food Store, 44110 Ashburn Village Boulevard, #160, Ashburn, Virginia on Friday, Saturday and Monday May 22, 23, and 25.
We would like to have at least two volunteers on duty at all times. I have arranged sign up in 2 hour blocks to accommodate your schedules. Feel free to take as many shifts as you feel comfortable doing.

We’re once again using SignUp (the leading online SignUp and reminder tool) to organize our upcoming SignUps.
Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:
1) Click this link to see our SignUp on SignUp: https://signup.com/go/KBcjNQp
2) Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
3) Sign up! It’s Easy – you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.
Note: SignUp does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, please contact me and I can sign you up manually.

Thank you for signing up as soon as possible, to help reduce my blood pressure level.

Glen Krogh, Poppy Chair

HIMSS NCA is pleased to announce its Fourth Annual Charity Golf Scramble. The scramble will take place on Monday, June 1, 2026 at the Army Navy Country Club’s Fairfax Course. The shotgun start time is 1200, with lunch offered prior, and a celebratory BBQ following the conclusion of the scramble, where the winners will be announced. We have a limited number of player slots that are available on a first come, first serve basis. This cost includes green fees, golf cart, use of the practice areas prior to start (driving range, putting, and chipping areas), lunch, dinner & awards ceremony, drinks on the course and most importantly, an opportunity to support our worthy charities: Boulder Crest and Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation.

All players must register online before May 22, 2026. Each player in a foursome must be registered under the appropriate registration type and pay the associated fee. If you would like to register your foursome all at once, you can add each registrant by clicking the “Add Another Registrant” button below. Foursomes can also be grouped by commenting the names of the players you’d like to be paired with in the box below. There is no on-site registration for this event.
All players are responsible for bringing their own clubs.
Thank you to the Gary Sinise Foundation for being a Gold Tier Sponsor for the third year in a row!
