Week in McLean
Pizza for Charities at McLean Day McLean Rotary will be the only pizza vendor at McLean Day--offering delicious Domino’s pizza, in addition to its regular, popular hotdogs and drinks. McLean Rotary Club members have manned a hotdog booth at McLean Day since 1975. The booth was originally established in memory of recently deceased Rotarian Fred Earle, who was also known fondly in the community as The Mayor. The McLean Rotary Club subsequently established the McLean Day food and drink stand for fundraising and club fellowship. At its current location next to the rear entrance to Lewinsville Park, the Rotary booth is convenient to other food vendors and children’s rides. McLean Rotary has supported the community with fundraising and fun for nearly 40 years. The club established the annual McLean Chocolate Festival in 2012 and participates in a fall Monte Carlo evening to also raise funds for the community. The McLean Rotary Club meets for lunch on Tuesdays at noon in downtown McLean. Please go to www.mcleanrotary.org for details.

Hosting Community on Passover
March 21 reception recognized donation of 100-plus Haggadot from Mike Berger of Vienna.
Passover or Pesach celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. The sacred holiday begins sunset of Monday, April 14, and ends nightfall of Tuesday, April 22. The commemoration begins with the Passover ritual, the Seder, in which followers of the Jewish faith read from the family Haggadah, breaking for a traditional feast. At its core, the Haggadah narrates the story of the Exodus from Egypt. On March 21, the Chabad Tysons Jewish Center, in Vienna, recognized a donation of more than 100 Haggadot [Jewish texts] from Mike Berger, a Vienna resident whose father collected the versions throughout his lifetime.
