SUMMARY:Party Celebrating Independence Day! (Lorton/Mason Neck\, VA)
DESCRIPTION:  For the 3rd year in a row\, we're celebrating Independen
	ce Day with a large group party! This is one of our largest events of 
	year. This year's party is on the 5th - not the 4th - to enable people
	 to see fireworks on their own the day before. Dress casually and feel
	 free to bring a football\, your swimsuit\, or anything else needed fo
	r outdoor fun - including sunscreen! We do have a pool (and hot tub) a
	nd it will be open. The party is on the Potomac River. Also\, check ba
	ck for details - we will have a volleyball net up as well as a few oth
	er games. (If you can come early to help set-up\, indicate this in you
	r comments and I'll follow-up with you.) I've also invited some great 
	special guests. This is a potluck so you *must* bring a food or drink 
	item to share. Please indicate what you are bringing in the comments t
	o help avoid repeat items. Not sure what you're going to bring? Select
	 a category (dessert\, snack\, alcohol\, etc.) and put that in the com
	ment field. Items that need to be grilled\, baked\, etc. will work as 
	well. You can also bring (legal) fireworks as well and we'll set them 
	off after dark. Bringing something to eat or drink is *not* optional. 
	Now on to the part that is optional... Roxie's Fund is a Non-Profit 50
	1(c)(3) Animal Welfare Organization. They actively rescue homeless and
	 abused dogs and bring them into a Rescue & Rehabilitation Program. At
	 the party\, we'll be collecting items for Roxie's Fund. They need tow
	els (in good condition)\, sturdy and washable dog toys\, and gift card
	s. You can also visit their site to find out more about how you can he
	lp. Rain or Shine... it's rained the past two years and that hasn't st
	opped the festivities. Please note: I've invited members of the local 
	secular groups on various college campuses and during the summer we fr
	equently have younger members in attendance at our events. Underage al
	cohol consumption will result in you being asked to leave - please be 
	responsible. Also\, if you're planning to spend the night\, you must d
	iscuss this with me well in advance. There will already be several out
	 of town guests who have priority in this regard. Directions? The clos
	est Metro Station is Franconia/Springfield on the Blue Line and is 13 
	miles away. Manassas Cab Company ((703) 494-1444) and Yellow Cab ((703
	) 491-2222‎) are available in the area. If you are coming from the N
	orth\, take I-95 South to exit 163 (Lorton/VA-642). At the end of the 
	ramp there is a light (Lorton Road) and you will make a left. Travel a
	bout a half mile and take a right on Lorton Market Street. Lorton Mark
	et Street becomes Gunston Cove Road and then crosses Rt. 1 and becomes
	 Gunston Road. We're 5 miles down on the left. It is a gated community
	 - Stone Manor on the Potomac. The last landmark before your left into
	 our community is Mason Neck State Park. There is a strict 25 MPH spee
	d limit in the community. Take the first left after the gate. The hous
	e is large\, white\, and at the end of the street. It's the only white
	 driveway in the community. Parking\, however is just to the left at t
	he adjacent marina. Please try to park in an orderly fashion so we can
	 accommodate everyone. There is a flagstone path from the marina lot t
	o our house. It is *not* appropriate to park in our yard as the weight
	 of your vehicle will damage the sprinkler heads. If you are coming fr
	om a direction other than the North - use the meetup map link above.\n
