Vintage and Flea Market in Del Ray This Weekend

A large flea market is returning to Del Ray this weekend with an expanded selection of vendors.

The community is scheduled to be held at 1990 Mount Vernon Avenue and 1900 Mount Vernon Avenue on Saturday, Nov. 14. Masks are required to enter.

“Our original lot at 1900 Mt. Vernon Ave. will still be bustling while we’ve also added 20 more vending spaces just steps away at the Salvation Army Corps building,” the organizers said on Facebook. “Markets are held the second Saturday of each month.”

All vendor slots for the November and December markets are currently full, but a sign-up is already active for 2021.

The market is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If you had a chance to enhance a child’s future with a time commitment of less than 2 hours a week, how would you respond? You have that opportunity right now to join over 200 Alexandrians as a reading tutor volunteer with the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium (ATC).

ATC tutors work with one child in kindergarten, first, or second grade in Alexandria public schools who need extra help with reading. Tutors meet with their Book Buddy 1-2 times each week for 30 minutes October-May at school, during school hours. Many struggling readers only receive one-on-one instruction through this program, and it makes all the difference. Last year, ATC served 195 children, of whom 82% ended the year reading on grade level and 96% made substantial reading gains. But the need is great, and we are still seeing learning lags from the pandemic.

This year, ATC plans to significantly increase the size of the program to reach over 250 students and to serve every elementary school in Alexandria. This is very exciting news, but we will only succeed if we can recruit more tutors. ATC trains you, matches you with a child, and provides ongoing lesson materials and support.
