Fredericksburg’s Revolutionary War Heroes FREE Lecture Series in collaboration with the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation, Inc., continues on the 250th anniversary of the Fifth Virginia Convention!

Learn from R∴W∴ Shelby L. Chandler PDDGM, a Past Master and the Historian of Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4, all about Fredericksburg’s involvement in the delegation to the Convention, and eventually, the Continental Congress.

Join us for a magical evening at The Hub of HOPE, Inc.’s Legacy of HOPE Masquerade Ball on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 7:00 PM, with doors opening at 6:00 PM, at the Venue at Salem Fields Church, 11120 Gordon Rd., Fredericksburg, VA 22407.

This enchanting event is more than just a night of elegance; it’s a heartfelt celebration of compassion, community, and change. As you don your mask, remember the stories behind the façade of food insecurity—families, children, and seniors in our community who face real challenges. Each ticket purchased transforms into nutritious meals and lasting dignity for those in need, turning generosity into meals and meals into moments of hope. Honor those who serve and those we serve with us through a night filled with dancing, gourmet dining, live entertainment, and a shared purpose. Together, let’s illuminate these stories and turn compassion into action, because every face of hunger deserves to be seen, fed, and remembered.
