This event will also provide a sneak preview of GRACE's new dynamic exhibition, LineWorks: Drawing Redefined. We are the first public group invited to see this exhibition and we hope that even if all the little details haven't yet been completed you will enjoy the artworks.
LineWorks :Drawing Redefined presents a variety of multi-media works by five artists who utilize line as an essential element in their work. Featured artists Lee Gainer, Sarah Irvin, Nikki Painter, Foon Sham and Sarah Weinstock all create work that relies fundamentally upon line drawing. In addition, they all explore how memories are formed, collected and forgotten, using drawing to document their experiences. The Greater Reston Arts Center's Gallery will be reconfigured into five independent spaces, each presenting a different and innovative process, expanding the definition of drawing itself.
For more information about this event, call the Museum at 703-709-7700 or email restonmuseum@gmail.com

Waterview Cluster Workday - October 4th!
WATERVIEW CLUSTER WORKDAY
Saturday October 4th 9am - 4pm
Greetings!
It’s Cluster Workday time again, another opportunity to come out, visit
with neighbors, enjoy our beautiful fall weather, and lend a hand to the cause. Maintaining a kempt appearance is one
important way for us to protect our investment in our homes.
While eleven acres of open space, landscaped
areas, and natural woodlands are our most
important asset, they are also our greatest challenge! Even with professional help, there is always
much more to be done. Your help permits
us to do more and spend less.
You can help with general clean up of litter
and debris OR you can join one of the teams assigned to work on five
“special” projects selected for this year. At breakfast, you can review those
tasks and locations. Landscape Committee
members will be available to answer you questions. A member, or members, is assigned to each
project and will be present at the project site to guide and assist with the
tasks.
As always, there are brush disposal sites, 2 on
the Waterview side and 1 on the Orchard Lane side. Fairfax County will come the following week
to take it all away for no charge. If
you are grooming your own personal property, it’s a great opportunity to dispose
of that debris as well.
You can help other ways, too! If you are not available on Workday, and
would like to take on a project at another time, please contact the landscape
committee for suggestions and assistance!
Schedule: 9:00
am: Breakfast
at the marina provided by the cluster!
Attire: Long pants, long sleeved shirts, shoes
and sock (no sandals), gloves
Tools: Clippers, loppers, pruning saws, leaf
rakes
HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN!
OR ON RAIN DAY: SUNDAY OCTOBER 5!

Re-energize Reston
If you have not signed up for the LEAP home energy check up yet do it today! We had ours yesterday and it was well worth it. So far LEAP has done about 300 Home Energy Check -Ups, their goal is 1,965.
Re-Energize Reston with a Home Energy Check-Up
The Re-Energize Reston Community Challenge kicked off earlier this year with a community goal of 1,964 Home Energy Check-ups to honor Reston's founding in 1964. Organized by the Reston Association and the nonprofit Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP), the effort will help Reston residents improve the comfort, health, and performance of their homes.
Home Energy Checkup Cost: $45 ($35 with RELAC discount plus an extra $25 coupon off your May or June RELAC bill. Special offer available through June 30.)
Schedule your checkup at http://leap-va.org/checkup/
(Select location: NOVA – Reston -- RELAC), If you don't see a convenient time, click on the waiting list and we’ll get to you as soon as we can.)
In this check-up, you will get an evaluation of your home’s energy efficiency by a professional LEAP Energy Coach. Where needed, our Energy Coach will install energy efficient light bulbs, smart power strips, and more. The check-up generally lasts 60 – 90 minutes. LEAP will get you started on immediate energy saving measures for your home, as well as a road map towards an ENERGY STAR home.
The value of this package is estimated at well over $250 in goods, savings, and professional advice. The low price of $45 is made possible with the support of the Dominion Residential Home Energy Check-Up program. Additionally, a $10 donation will be made to Friends of Reston for every check-up done in the Challenge for tree planting and other activities.
Join over 100 of your Reston neighbors who have already become part of the Re-energize Reston Community Challenge today!
