🔑 What This Means for YOU (Strategically)

This is important for your Family Committee:

👉 The DMV is already FULL of:

• Family festivals
• Faith-adjacent gatherings
• Community-building events

Your opportunity is NOT to compete…
It’s to position your events as:

• Faith-centered
• Purpose-driven
• Family transformation-focused

💡 Smart Move for Your Committee

You could:

• Partner with or show up at these events
• Hand out Family Committee info
• Invite families to your own gatherings
• Position yours as “faith + family + restoration”
