Georgetown South is hosting its largest ever event. It is a combination Community Clean up, Carnival, Food Fair, Yard Sale and Resource Center.
We are doing this to help the children of a woman named Reyna Torres Alatriste. She has incurable cancer and only six to eight months to live.
She wants to leave something for her children, Yarizel (11), Rebecca (10), Marking (5) and Esther (3) and the proceeds from this event will be their inheritance.
What do we need to make this day a success and make Reyna’s wish come true ? We need you; that is we need you to volunteer to help us that day.
What will I do you might ask? If you help before the event, you may pass out flyers, make some things we need on the day of the event, hang posters all over Manassas. If you help on the day of the event, we want you to be with us as long as you can between 8 am.  and 4 p.m., watching over the Carnival equipment, making and selling cotton candy, Sno Cones and popcorn, face painting, running the Kids’ Games and Activities, soliciting donations for “Reyna’s Children”, giving directions, and just doing what it is that needs to be done.
This is an opportunity to score points on your Loyalty Card, to perform Community Service, and to do what Jesus did which is to perform an act of selfless love for your sister Reyna Torres Alatriste and her children.
Please contact Meg Carroll at [email protected] or call her at 571-264-3386 to see how you can help.
Oh and by the way, you will have fun, that is a requirement at our events, just think you gain valuable hours as a volunteer that you can put on your college application, or do it for a kind act. T shirts will also be provided to volunteers.Â

If you’re a Lab lover, Raven is waiting for you! This one-year-old Labrador mix is full of energy and enthusiasm, just as you’d expect from her breed. She has experience living with kids, cats, and dogs, making her a great fit for an active and pet-friendly household.
Raven was returned to the Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter because she does best in a home with a fenced yard. Without one, she has a tendency to wander, so her ideal home includes a secure space or committed leash walks.

Travel to French soil and join us for a night filled with two of the most beloved French traditions—no plane ticket required! ?
On January 25th, we invite you to experience the magic of Galette des Rois, a 700-year-old tradition celebrated across France throughout the entire month of January (and even beyond!). This sweet, almond-filled puff pastry topped with a golden crown isn’t just a treat—it’s a celebration! The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??
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.
