Okay, our first charitable production is over. How did we do?
1. We exceeded our goal for fundraising for Life With Cancer.
2. We had more people attend than we originally projected.
3. The production of The Actual Dance
got an even more positive response than we thought it would.

Strange Bedfellow a not-too-organized group
MISSION: Common cause for worthy causes
We are members of many different civil, professional, educational, business and political groups and businesses in Falls Church. We were brought together by the Community Issues Forum.
We are Lions, Dogwood Cafe, George Mason Boosters, Panera Bread, the American Legion, University Women, Italian Cafe, Boy Scouts, VPIS, Greater Hillwoood Citizens Association, Ireland's Four Provinces, Citizens for a Sustainable City, Cherrywood Homeowners, Catholic War Vets, the League of Women Voters, the Democrats, the Republicans, Clare and
Don's, Doodlehopper and more.
But which of us is the strange bedfellow? Does it matter? Each person has likes and dislikes. Some of us are more opinionated than others. But there's work to be done, so let's make the best of it and join together. Many hands make quick work.
The mission of Strange Bedfellow is to bring together in charitable activities people of every political persuasion and special interest. Our goal is to put away the differences long enough so that, together, we can raise funds for deserving causes and people in our communty.
As volunteers, we are willing to try almost anything legal - including declaring a truce - to raise money for charity. We may be competitors in our 'real lives' but we are dedicated to working together for worthy causes.
Join us and you may learn which of us is that strange bedfellow who is so different from all the rest. On the other hand, maybe Pogo was right when he said that we have met the enemy and he is us.
We all fit. We are all welcome. Come join our common cause for worthy causes.
Please give us your ideas and suggestions. You may also volunteer to be part of our group with the form in the right column.
Current activities: We presented two performances of the one-man play, The Actual Dance, written and performed by Sam Simon. Performances were in February.
The audiences enjoyed an old-fashioned love story with a modern twist ... and helped raise money for cancer treatment at the same time.
The play is about the toll cancer takes on not just the victim but the victim's family and friends, too.
We would be pleased to have your help, no matter how strange we or you may be.
