President’s Message, March 2026

Community is better together, and March means the return of more in-person events! 

Upcoming family events include the annual Spring Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 21st at 10 am in the Mantua Section of Eakin Park, as well as the Community Yard Sale on April 18 from 10 AM to 2 PM. 

For civic events, we have an upcoming Membership Meeting on March 26 at 7 PM focused on housing in Fairfax. For those interested in affordable housing projects, or efforts that Mantuans have made to help relatives age-in-place, join us in-person at Mantua Elementary, or online.

This month’s newsletter is packed! Read on for recommendations from the MCA bylaws committee, ways to help neighbors in need, a profile on a man on a green John Deere, and reporting on the Fairfax County budget and affordable housing initiatives.
