Greetings to all and on behalf of Advanced Title and the “Advance Your Community Campaign” I am reporting our results and following up on the overall success of the campaign.
Advanced Title in conjunction with the opening of their location in Manassas launched a campaign to give back to local not-for-profits that operate in our community. Our goal was to celebrate our grand opening and at the same time launch a campaign to give back to those that are making a difference locally.
We included 15 local not for profits that were designed to make an impact in different areas including, Anne Clark Dollard Memorial Foundation, Blue Ridge Assistance Dogs, Boys and Girls Club, Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE), Leadership Prince William, Manassas City School Education Foundation, Coalition of 100 Black Women, Serving Our Willing Warriors, Project Infusion, Special Olympics, Volunteer Prince William, Voice for Justice, Workhouse Arts Center, and finally Write By the Rails.

Commuter traffic in the Washington, D.C. metro area is set to surge as President Donald Trump issues an executive order ending remote work for federal employees. The Center Square reports that Trump’s directive mandates federal workers return to their offices full-time, with limited exemptions determined by department heads. The move is welcomed by regional leaders like Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who have long urged a return to in-person work to bolster public transit ridership and address underused federal buildings. Federal employees, who constitute a significant portion of D.C.-area residents, are pivotal to the region’s economy.
Fire investigators are still searching for answers in two recent fires that caused significant damage in Fredericksburg and Woodbridge. The December 5 blaze at Eagle Village Shopping Center began in the warehouse of Play It Again Sports and quickly spread, destroying multiple businesses. Despite extensive efforts, investigators have been unable to determine the fire’s cause. Meanwhile, a January 21 townhouse fire in Woodbridge displaced two residents after unattended cooking sparked flames. Working smoke detectors alerted the occupants, allowing them to escape safely. Both incidents highlight the importance of fire safety and preparedness as investigations into the causes continue.

But that’s not all! In France, Les Voeux (New Year’s wishes) continue throughout January, often accompanied by Champagne and good cheer. We’re bringing that festive spirit to you, with a lively evening packed with French food, wine, and music.
