The Board of Supervisors will recognize the American Association of
University Women (AAUW), for its record of achievement spanning 125
years. Founded in 1881 by Marion Talbot, Ellen Richards and 15 additional
women who were college graduates, the AAUW has more than 100,000 members,
1,300 branches and 500 college and university partners nationwide.
Being 60 is Pretty Nifty
The Board of Supervisors will designate Sept. 8 as Jefferson Manor
Day in Fairfax County. Jefferson Manor, a hamlet of 550 homes in

Jefferson Manor maintains an active civic association dedicated to the
betterment of the community through hard work, charitable events, social
activities and providing information and services to its residents.
