Lord and Lady Fairfax


The Lord and Lady Fairfax Awards Program yearly honors two volunteer leaders from each Magisterial District. The honorees are selected for their outstanding volunteer service in their home districts or for an act of heroism. This year's Lord and Lady are introduced below, and at the bottom of this page is a list of all the honorees from Mount Vernon.

 

Christine Morin, Lady Fairfax 2009

Christine Morin is a citizen advocate par excellence who, through her leadership and relentless motivation to improve the lives of Fairfax County schoolchildren, is responsible for the South County Middle School’s advancement in the Capital Improvement Program and its eventual construction. A lifelong resident of Fairfax County, Christine moved to the Laurel Hill area with her husband and growing family because of its attractive community amenities – not least of which were its new and planned educational facilities.  Christine helped create, the South County Middle School Solutions Group, a model grassroots organization by proactively and successfully linking together neighborhoods, advocacy groups and elected officials in relentless determination to ensure construction of a middle school. Her persistence and dedication will help shape the futures of generations of children who call Lorton home.

 

Gil McCutcheon, Lord Fairfax 2009

Gil McCutcheon has been Mount Vernon’s Park Authority Representative for the last seventeen years and the Market Master of Mount Vernon’s Farmers Market for twenty-seven years.  On top of these accomplishments he has been president of the Marlan Forest Citizens Association, president of the Frying Pan Park and Youth Center Supervisory Board.  He also received a 2008 Distinguished Volunteer Service Award from the Virginia Recreation and Parks Society, as well as Board of Supervisors’ prestigious Lawrence V. Fowler Award. Under Gil’s guidance, Mount Vernon has been able to add hundreds of acres of parkland to the Park Authority’s inventory, including the master planning and construction of parks in Laurel Hill.  Every Tuesday morning from May to November, Gil can be found perambulating about the market stalls, finding the freshest locally grown produce, meats and breads in what is the most successful market in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. On those days, Supervisor Hyland receives his marching orders from the “Mayor of Mount Vernon”.
