Friends of Reston invites the community to “make Reston your valentine” at An Evening with Friends, a celebration of local spirit and generosity, on Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Red’s Table, 11150 South Lakes Drive in Reston.

Proceeds support Reston Association initiatives, including camp scholarships for underserved youth, free monthly movies for senior citizens, and scholarships for high school seniors. Funds also support community programs such as the Walker Nature Center Spring Festival, Totally Trucks, and the Enchanted Forest at WinterFest, ensuring benefits reach neighbors of all ages and backgrounds.

Guests will enjoy a cocktail hour with heavy appetizers, followed by dinner and seasonal Valentine’s Day desserts. Tickets are $75 for dinner with one beverage, or $100 for dinner with three beverages.

“An Evening with Friends is an opportunity to come together, celebrate, and make a real difference,” said Maggie Edwards, president of the Friends of Reston Board of Directors. “Your participation enriches the Reston community and reflects Robert Simon’s vision of an inclusive Reston.”

Tickets for the fundraiser dinner and silent auction are now available and expected to sell quickly. For tickets and information, contact friendsofreston@gmail.com or visit www.friendsofreston.org/events/
