Embracing the Season Ahead |

Casey Whitmarsh
SFCC Chair |
| As summer begins to wind down and we prepare to welcome the crisp air and vibrant colors of fall, I want to take a moment to reflect on all we've accomplished together—and what lies ahead for our Chamber and our community.
Summer was filled with energy: from well-attended community networking events and ribbon cuttings to partnerships that sparked new opportunities for local businesses. Whether you joined us at STIRs, supported our members, or participated in community initiatives, your involvement continues to make a meaningful impact. |
|
|
Looking toward fall, we’re excited to build on that momentum. Autumn is often a time of renewed focus, and we have a full calendar of events designed to connect, educate, and elevate our business community. From our monthly networking STIRs to upcoming community events and member spotlights, this season offers plenty of ways to engage and grow.
Let’s continue to support one another, celebrate local successes, and work together to make this final stretch of the year one of our strongest yet. Thank you for being an essential part of this Chamber—and this community.
Here’s to a successful fall season!
Warm regards, |

Congrats to Dynamic Foot & Ankle Center! |
Dynamic Foot & Ankle Center (DFAC), a leading podiatry practice in Lorton and Fredericksburg, has been serving the community with compassionate, state-of-the-art foot and ankle care for 10 years!
That milestone was recently celebrated by the Chamber with a ribbon-cutting! Founded in 2015 by Dr. Dannielle VonDerLinden and her team have treated thousands of patients, addressing everything from sports injuries and chronic foot pain to diabetic wound care and reconstructive surgery. |
