Meet other local backgammon players who love to learn or play this ancient game. Backgammon is a game of skill, tactics and luck!

If you love to go out, socialize, and play backgammon, this is the group for you. Just remember to bring your smile, appetite, and a backgammon set!

That summer I enrolled in Chinese language courses at the Northern Virginia Community College. I have been studying Chinese ever since. In 2010 I completed a graduate program at the Hopkins- Nanjing Center (HNC). Shortly after I returned to the US I started the Arlington Chinese Corner hoping to meet others in Arlington with similar interests and to find opportunities to keep speaking Chine …

As a mother, it is normal for you to want a good relationship with your tweenage/teenage daughter. While you may want her to come to you with her problems and go shopping with her on the weekend, she may not feel the same way. Instead of spending time with you, she might prefer being with her friends. Let's support each other in strengthening our relationships with our daughter(s) by attending 1 or 2 monthly outings. This will give us a chance to meet new people, create friendships, and while at …

Moms in Fairfax County is a group of moms with babies born between June 2009 and October 2009. We have kept the age range small so that every activity we plan will work with the babies in our group.  Older children are welcome to come to limited family friendly meet-ups.

Our group has many meet-ups throughout the week (during the dayt …

WELCOME; Sound is light sound is emotion, sound is a way to connect your soul. We are all engineered to be finely attune to sound . It is a major part of our environment, of our universe. Sound is a healing connection to the all. During my 35 plus years, as an audio system designer, I have pursued the truth that embodies sound. For decades, I have continuously expanded my craft to re-create the energies of musical performance and of recorded sound in the 3D space. My goal has been to redefine th …
