On Saturday July 26, Lyon Park friends celebrated the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of the Lyon Park Community House. Despite the monsoon rains, a good time was had by all. The sun came out just in time for Arlington County Board member Susan Cunningham to read an official proclamation and Peter Vaselopulos from the Arlington Historical Society to say a few words. The evening continued as the Mandoleers and Jelly Jammers performed from the finally-dry patio, a perfect ending to a memorable community event.
