McLEAN COMMUNITY CENTER

Who We Are, What We Do The McLean Community Center (MCC) was built and is funded by residents of Greater McLean for their use through a real estate tax surcharge, the result of a 1970 bond referendum (Small District One A-Dranesville).

Center facilities include the 383-seat Alden Theatre, the McLean Project for the Arts galleries, the Susan B. DuVal Art Studio, meeting and conference rooms, a rehearsal studio and a classroom/commercial kitchen.

Local open clubs and organizations use the Center for their monthly meetings without charge. Center facilities may be rented for private functions such as business conferences, receptions, parties and recitals. District residents and businesses pay reduced fees. Registrations for McLean Youth Athletics and McLean Little League activities are regularly held at the Center, and information on their activities is always available in the lobby.

The Center also operates the award-winning Old Firehouse Teen Center, located at 1440 Chain Bridge Rd. in downtown McLean.

Kat Kehoe Someone once described McLean as a large town that feels like a small town. I grew up in a small town and appreciate the sense of community a small town has.

I applaud the MCC Board for keeping the upcoming new addition within reserve funds and I will stay within budget.

Jill Roth There’s nothing more important to me than my family. McLean offers amazing opportunities for my two sons, ages 3 and 8 months, and I’d like to see these opportunities grow.

As a member of the MCC Board, I can have a direct impact on programs, camps and events in our community. I’d offer a different insight and fresh feel to the board. As a small business owner, I know what it takes to have a vision and make it reality. I’ll communicate with residents to hear the concerns and desires of the center in order to deliver results that matter.

Desi Woltman As a candidate for MCC’s Governing Board, I am committed to MCC’s role of community building through civic engagement. MCC is vital to the unique, small town character of McLean. When our family moved here 11 years ago, its diverse programs, activities and services made us feel welcome, and allowed us to quickly become part of the community fabric. I want to preserve MCC’s legacy and optimize its value to all residents through fiscally responsible stewardship of its program and facilities. My experience and insight will ensure that MCC continues to be responsive to the needs of the community.

Last summer, I worked as a volunteer at Children’s National, providing great job experience. Additionally, my resume includes the JV field hockey and soccer teams, debate, Model United Nations and DECA. Multiple national/local competition experiences have given me a strong insight on policy and working effectively in a committee or team. I believe I can make a difference and benefit the governing board.

Mariana Patterson I enjoy taking other people’s ideas and thoughts into account when making decisions, especially if I’m working together with them to achieve a common goal. Being bilingual in both English and Spanish aids me in this trait. My organizational skills are another strong characteristic of mine as I consider them to be both my greatest weakness and strength because I often make lists in order to structure a plan that I want to obtain, no matter the size. However, I feel uneasy if I proceed to do a task without a formulated strategy.

For ages 4+. ArtsPower’s newest musical portrays the colorful story of Marge and Lola, two barnyard chickens on a mission to win the barnyard talent contest’s first prize of two tickets to see the great Elvis Poultry in concert! But first, they must present a performance that will score higher than a flock of very talented ducks who seem to have the contest locked up. Can Marge and Lola face their challengers, against all odds, and win the talent contest?

“The Magic of Bill Blagg Live!” comes to The Alden for one show only! Critics and audiences alike rave about his incredible high-energy, grand-scale magic and illusion that will have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief.

Called “simply amazing” by The Chicago Tribune, Blagg’s show is packed with new mind-blowing illusions and his trademark off-the-cuff personality that make this show a great family event! Audience volunteers will levitate in mid-air, others w\ill vanish in the blink of an eye and there is so much more. This is one show you can’t afford to miss! “Unbelievable!” – USA Today

Chamber Music Concerts at The Alden

“Gut Churn” from Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad

Free chamber music concerts cosponsored by the Music Friends of the Fairfax County Public Library and The Alden.

www.jadabumrad.com Saturday, June 11, 8 p.m. $30/$15 MCC district residents What does it mean to “innovate?” This was a question Radiolab host Jad Abumrad was frequently asked after being awarded a MacArthur “Genius Grant” in 2011. This multimedia exploration, on one level, is the personal story of how Jad invented a new aesthetic. On another, it is a clinic in the art of storytelling. On a third and more profound level, it is the result of a three-year investigation into the science, philosophy and art of uncertainty, which all began with the two words that are the title of this talk. “Gut Churn.” WAMU is a proud sponsor of this event.

A new classical art program created by professional artist Kerry Vosler for young art students. In an atelier ­environment held in the beautiful, light-filled Emerson Gallery, students will study and draw from life with a master instructor. As students master core concepts and show understanding through their drawings, they will be given more complicated concepts to master.

Students will draw a variety of pictures in charcoal throughout the week including copy work from the late 19th century, Bargue-Gérôme Drawing Course, culminating in a session with a live model on Friday afternoon. Students will have at least two portfolio drawings by the end of the week, and parents and families are encouraged to attend the closing certificate ceremony on Friday at 4:15 p.m. Students should bring a bag lunch and drink each day.

Watercolor: Evening Alfresco

Drawing into Painting

Work directly from the landscape and surrounding ­nature in this outdoor watercolor class. We will explore how the later afternoon light transforms our subjects, and we will hone in on different inspirations we find in the summer evening setting. For a portion of each class, when it gets dark, we will bring our work into the studio and continue to work and critique inside. This class is led

by MPA exhibiting artist Carol Barsha, who has much ­experience teaching watercolor outdoors, and employs this medium and setting in her own work.

For beginning and intermediate students. Hit the refresh button this summer and get your skills and confidence up! You will bring your drawing skills up to speed with measuring, composition, shading and gesture through exercises to help you loosen up as well as hone in your technical and observational skills. Students will select ­either acrylic or oil, and we will explore mixing, different applications, and using color in the composition as we build our paintings. The materials list will include choices for basic acrylic or oil. Instructor: Naomi Chung.

Line, Color, Pattern, Motif: From Coloring Book to Art Open to artists of all levels. Inspired by the coloring book craze, this class is designed to lead artists through an exploration of line as a guiding force in art. Referencing sources as diverse as textile designs, old master drawings, 17th Century emblem books and coloring books, we will go from simple to complex designs using colored pencils. Beginning students with no drawing ­experience can begin making designs using abstract patterning and transfer techniques; intermediate and advanced students can ­develop complex pictures through composite methods. Along the way, we’ll touch upon color theory, tonality, line quality and pencil techniques. Instructor: Aletha Kuschan.
