“What can I do?” It seems like I get asked this several times a day in the world of restaurants. “I want to support my local restaurant, but don’t know how I can help.” I get it. We all want to support our local restaurants, but some of us just aren’t ready to dine in, or cannot afford to eat out all the time. That is why I would like to take a minute to tell you how you can be supportive no matter your situation.

It is important to understand how much available load you have in your panel box and whether any additional work needs to be done to accommodate new electric load.

As many of us continue to work from home, and utilize virtual meeting spaces, consider polishing your look a bit for the change in season and to make the best impression possible. According to a recent Greater Washington Partnership survey of 430 businesses, more than 70% of DC area offices report they may not return to work full-time until next summer. This means even if you begin a gradual return your office building, Zoom and other virtual meetings will be a large part of most people’s work life, not to mention the networking, seminars, and other groups that rely on virtual meetings to maintain contact.

Embracing Arlington Arts Offering Diversity and Cultural Equity Podcast Series This Fall

Janet Kopenhaver, President, Embracing Arlington Arts

Cultural equity is consistently cited as a major problem in the arts and theater industry. The recent “Black Lives Matter” protests and calls for theaters to put their “statements of support” into action has focused even more light on this issue. A major impediment to achieving more diversity in the arts and culture industry is that while all agree that concrete changes must be made, there has been a lack of insight into how and what these changes should entail to garner results. Embracing Arlington Arts wants to fill that gap.
