<p style="text-align: left;">Washington, D.C.— On Thursday, September 16th, Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA) will host a special community town hall to discuss the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 133 situation at the Mark Center site in Alexandria. The event comes one year out from the military’s stated date of implementing the major <a href="http://www.brac.gov/" target="_blank">BRAC</a> relocation.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Six thousand four hundred people are scheduled to start work in the new Mark Center facility on September 15, 2011. Congressman Moran has raised major concerns regarding the traffic problems that will be caused by this relocation. He has passed legislation in the House restricting the amount of parking available at the site in an effort to force the military to upgrade the Mark Center’s transportation infrastructure to prevent the anticipated crippling traffic congestion.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This event is free and open to the public.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When: Thursday, September 16th from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM<br />
Where: Francis C. Hammond Middle School Campus, 4646 Seminary Road, Alexandria, VA 22304 <br />
Who: Panelists include Rep. Jim Moran, Defense Department officials, VDOT officials, and Alexandria City and Fairfax County representatives</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Robert Kennedy&#8217;s words, spoken in hope, mirror those spoken by Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Lincoln Memorial when he shared his dream with the world 40 years ago.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The annual Virginia Kennedy-King dinner, sponsored by the Eighth Congressional District Democratic Committee, celebrates Robert Kennedy&#8217;s and Martin Luther King, Jr.&#8217;s vision. It is an event to honor those Virginians who strive to make the hopes and dreams of these two great leaders a reality. It is a time to reflect on how both of these men continue to touch our lives as Democrats and live in our hearts as Virginians. The monies raised by the event go towards our effort to support Virginia&#8217;s Democrats.</p>

Governors, Senators, and Congressman call her their friend. Pixie has served in numerous offices in the Democratic Party, and currently is First Vice Chair of the 8th Congressional District Democratic Committee.</p>
<p>Notably, she served four 4-year terms as Secretary of the Democratic Party of Virginia (DPVA), and recently at the quarterly meeting of the DPVA in Charlottesville she was honored for this service.</p>
<p>On June 11th DPVA Chairman, Dickie Cranwell, presented Pixie with a plaque honoring that remarkable service.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Through your leadership as a member of the Steering Committee, the Democratic Party of Virginia has grown and achieved incredible successes. Virginia Democrats thank you for you years of exemplary service and continued work on the Central Committee.  </em></p>
