If you can't tell by our smiles, we're THRILLED to welcome Anna Beucler to the Community Foundation team as the new Donor Relations Coordinator. She brings a wealth of passion, expertise, and energy to ACF. Fun fact: when she was a high school substitute teacher, her students knew her as the cool sub with the blue hair, and impressing high schoolers is no easy feat! Join us in welcoming Anna to the team!

Legacy Society member Roz Ridgway recently celebrated a milestone birthday here in Arlington. And we're all lucky to get the gift of her stories, laughter, and wisdom. There's so much more of her story (in her words) at the link in the comments.

Affording childcare in Arlington is **tough**, as a recent analysis from the Wall Street Journal demonstrates. Now imagine that you must find childcare while earning less than $50,000 per year for a family of four. Contrary to popular belief, most families at this income level do NOT receive a subsidy to cover childcare expenses, because there simply are not enough subsidies to go around. Instead, these parents often face closed doors, waitlists, or partial day care that still doesn’t enable them to work-full time or get ahead economically.

ACF is focused on expanding access to affordable childcare that enables economic mobility for these families. Read our latest analysis and join us in advocating for deep affordability. Read the full story in the comments.

This fighting spirit, shared across decades of neighbors rising to meet the moment, is what makes Arlington...Arlington. With everything happening in our region, it's easy for our spirit to feel dimmed at times. That’s why we’ve gathered our recent Spirit of Community Award stories into a new video collection. This collection is more than just a look back. It’s an invitation to recharge and carry that fighting spirit into whatever comes next.

"Every statistic is an *individual*: a mother, a brother, a son." These words, shared today by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) CEO, Stacey D. Stewart, at the NHTSA Labor Day Drive Sober Campaign Kick-Off Event, couldn't ring any truer for the parents, family, and friends of Braylon Meade. At the event, Braylon's parents shared their experiences of loss, Braylon's legacy, and what we all must do to keep every individual safe.
