The Monthly E=PW Happy Hour
Location: Bungalow Alehouse
2840 Prince William Pkwy
Woodbridge, VA 22192
Wednesday, 03 July 2024 — 18:00 – 20:00 PM
Though Pride Month is over, and the heat wave continues, the middle of summer is upon us!
Feel free to come and collaborate with others in the community and share ideas. This month’s Happy Hour is in Woodbridge at Bungalow Alehouse!
This happy hour is occurring before the Dale City 4th of July parade. We will again have a float in the parade and invite everyone to come join us!
Come eat, drink, and relax! We are in the back next to the billiard (aka pool) tables.
E=PW looks forward to seeing all of you on Wednesday.

E=PW in the Dale City 4th of July Parade
Location: Mapledale Plaza
Corner of Dale Blvd & Queensdale Dr
Woodbridge, VA 22193
Thursday, 04 July 2024 — 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (7 AM setup, 9 AM line-up)
This is the 10th year Equality Prince William will be participating in the Dale City 4th of July parade.
We will be gathering again in the Mapledale Plaza/Giant parking lot at 7:00 AM to create our “float” which is Dave Dooley’s bright blue Jeep and boat on a trailer (a literal float).
The distance between Mapledale Plaza and Center Plaza where the parade ends is 2.3 miles.
If you can’t help decorate Dave’s Jeep, but still want to walk with E-PW or ride on the float, then you can arrive later — the parade starts at 10:00 AM from Delaney Road and Dale Boulevard. Around 9:00 AM, we will be moving to our assigned slot in the parade (our slot number is 70).
Traffic along Dale Boulevard is severely restricted the day of the parade, so you might wish to come from Hoadly Road. Across from the Dar Al Noor Mosque, turn onto Queen Chapel Road — pass Penn Elementary and then take the 3rd right on to Qualls Lane. Your next right will be Queensdale Drive and you can turn left into the Mapledale Plaza parking lot without going on to Dale Boulevard.
Let Dave know if you will be joining in the fun: checkitagain@yahoo.com or (571) 278-6346.
We hope you join us on Thursday and let’s have our RAINBOWS FLY!!!

The Annual Equality Prince William Summer Picnic
Location: Connery Residence
13016 Qualls Lane
Woodbridge, VA 22193
Saturday, 20 July 2024 — 2:00 – 5:00 PM
You all are fantastic! Though there are so many things attacking and bringing us down, we lift each other up to continue the fight and live another day!!! Time for the annual summer picnic!
The Annual EPW Picnic and the After-the-Holidays Party are free for E-PW members. If you would like to join us for the picnic and you are not a member, the charge is $20.00. BUT WAIT. You can join E-PW for only $15.00 (family is $25.00) and then you don’t have to pay anything (become a member here: https://www.equalityprincewilliam.org/become-a-member/).
You can donate at the event. Please give Dave Dooley an idea of who is coming and how many so Joyce knows we will have enough!
And while our brunches are pot luck events, this one has all the food and non-adult beverages supplied. You can, of course, bring something to share and we won’t turn you down.
And as long as you are 21 or older, you can also bring the adult beverage of your choice.
E-PW looks forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, 20 July.
