Terry Quinn of Quinn’s Goldsmith in Occoquan was recently honored by being appointed to a position on the Board of Directors of the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO), according to an announcement by IJO President and CEO Jeff Roberts.
“Terry was chosen from among 850 retail jeweler members, which really says a lot about his leadership abilities, and the confidence the membership as a whole has in him,” Roberts reported. “I’m excited to be working with Terry, as is the rest of the Board.”
The IJO Board of Directors is comprised of nine retail members and two supplier members.
The Board position is to act as a liaison between the membership and IJO management, and to help form ideas for the betterment of the overall operation of IJO.
“Terry will be a great asset to IJO’s Board – he’s been an active, contributing member of this organization since the moment he joined ten years ago, and we’re privileged to have his input,” said IJO’s Director of Member Services Penny Palmer.
Independent Jewelers Organization is the world’s largest jewelry buying group, enabling its retail members to buy at group savings and pass those savings along to their customers. IJO also provides the latest education and information on product knowledge, techniques, trends and styles to its members, to further benefit their customers.
“Being associated with IJO represents integrity, quality and trust, and I’m proud to be able to give back to this organization that has helped my business in so many ways. I look forward to serving my fellow members in any way I can over the next three years,” Quinn stated.
Quinn operates two jewelry stores in the Potomac Communities, one in Occoquan in one in Woodbridge.
On Sunday afternoon, nearly 100 people gathered in a Taco Bell parking lot less than a mile from the clinic’s doors with a shared aim: taking ownership of its now-precarious future.
The project to widen Balls Ford Road between Doane Drive and Ashton Avenue to a four-lane, divided roadway is now officially complete. The county’s Department of Transportation held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the parking lot of the General Shale Brick Company last week.

To celebrate Air Quality Awareness Week (May 6-10, 2024), Clean Air Partners is working with A Few Cool Hardware Stores to exchange DC, Maryland and Virginia residents’ gas-powered lawnmowers, trimmers, and leaf blowers at select Ace Hardware locations in the region. DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.
Compared to gas, electric lawn equipment can reduce emissions, noise pollution, health risks and maintenance costs and time. The program aims to remove about a hundred gas-powered polluting tools from yards in the greater Baltimore-Washington region.
The exchanges will take place the weekends of May 17-19, 2024, and May 31-June 2, 2024, at A Few Cool Hardware Stores network of employee-owned Ace Hardware stores in the DC and Baltimore metro areas. To participate and get your free Ego Power+ lawn tool, sign up at https://qrco.de/CAPExchange to reserve your tool and select your trade-in date and location.
