More importantly than just learning basketball skills, Warrior Basketball Camp promotes the importance of healthy competition, sportsmanship, teamwork,  and Christian values.  The camp will begin with a daily devotional, campers will then be sent to different stations where they will be taught a specific skill needed in basketball, and the day will end in competition.

Warrior Basketball Camp is directed by Dale Pinkley, the Assistant Administrator at ICS, as well as other ICS coaches and qualified camp counselors.  The cost for this camp is $200 per camper.  If a family has more than one camper, the cost is $150 for each additional camper.  A $50 non-refundable deposit is charged upon registration and each camper will be given a t-shirt which proudly displays our Nellis Group sponsorship on the back.  To learn more about other Nellis Group charities, visit the Nellis Group charity webpage.

Immanuel Bible Church's Vacation Bible School: June 24-June 28

by Lee Gleason - The Nellis Group

We are excited to spread the word about the annual Vacation Bible School (VBS) at Immanuel Bible Church, which is one of the many Nellis Group charities we are proud to sponsor.  VBS at Immanuel consists of two separate programs: a morning program, for children ages four (by 9/30/13) through rising 3rd graders; and an evening program, for rising 4th graders through rising 6th graders.

yo-vbs2013 webart

This year, the theme for  morning VBS is "Every Day is a Holiday When Jesus Claims Your Heart."  This program gives your children the opportunity to sing fun songs, make crafts, listen to stories, play games, and enjoy a daily skit put on by the Children's Ministry at Immanuel.  It lasts from 9:30 am until noon and is a great way for your children to kick off the summer.

The theme for evening VBS this year is "Glow."  Evening VBS provides your children with the opportunity to sing songs of worship along with Immanuel's extremely talented band, play games versus opposing teams, engage in group Bible studies, and listen to lessons put together by one of Immanuel's gifted staff members.  Evening VBS breaks its campers into teams, promoting healthy competition based on a team's performance during games and team spirit throughout the week, especially on team spirit night.  This program is two hours of non-stop fun and fellowship from 7 pm until 9 pm.  Below is a video highlighting everything both programs have to offer and more.  

Registration for both the morning and evening program is only $20 per child.  You may either register online, or register at Immanuel on June 24th prior to the start of camp.

Also, in order to make these wonderful programs possible, volunteers are needed in any way possible for both morning and evening VBS.  Volunteers for the morning program must be ages 7th grade to adult, and volunteers for the evening program must be ages 9th grade to adult.  If you are interested in helping volunteer, contact Diana Warden, Immanuel's Children's Ministry Director, or email Immanuel Bible Church at info@immanuelbible.net.

Historic Loudoun County, Virginia: Communities Rich in History

by Lee Gleason - The Nellis Group

Loudoun County was recognized as a county in 1757 during the French and Indian War. Eighteen years later, the county as a whole became a vital piece of British opposition during the Revolutionary War.  Not only did it become known as the "Breadbasket of the Revolution" for the amount of grain the county donated  to General Washington and his men, but it also had the largest militia in Virginia at that time.

Loudoun County would prove several times more to be a vital part of the United States' war effort. During the War of 1812, the Loudoun County Clerk hid several federal documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, in his home in order to save them from being found or burned by the British troops in their siege of the capital.  During the Civil War, it also served as a pass-through for the Confederate Army to reach the Battle of Antietam, as well as a pass-through for the Union Army to reach the Battle of Gettysburg.

Loudoun County is also home to Oak Hill, the home of President James Monroe, which was designed by Thomas Jefferson.  This is the home where President Monroe wrote the Monroe Doctrine, which essentially displayed the United States' imperial supremacy.

Several of our wonderful Nellis Group Communities are located in historic Loudoun County, including: Giles, Hamilton, Hillsboro, Leesburg, Middleburg, Purcellville, Round Hill, and South Riding. Each of these communities are perfect places to call home, not only because of the homes within each community, but also because of the rich American History surrounding each community.

Located in the Giles community is one of our Nellis Group featured properties at 37242 White Goose Lane, which we have successfully sold.  This ten acre estate in Purcellville is beautifully landscaped with a private lake and many other features and amenities.  For more information about this luxurious home, visit the 37242 White Goose Lane Blast page.

Historic Manassas, Virginia: Communities Close to the Battle of Bull Run

by Lee Gleason - The Nellis Group

The construction of the Manassas Junction in 1850 provided routes to Richmond, Washington, D.C, and the Shenandoah Valley.  This construction not only propelled Manassas's economy and population, but also caused it to be an extremely valuable piece of land during the Civil War. Because of this, the first major land battle of the Civil War occurred in Manassas: the Battle of Bull Run.

Battle of Bull Run

The Battle of Bull Run was important for three reasons.  Number one, it was the first major battle on land.  Number two, it marked the beginning of Stonewall Jackson's enormous impact on the Confederate Army and the Civil War as a whole.  And Number three, it showed the Union and President Lincoln that this war would not only be long, but it would be costly, as well.

Next to the Bull Run battlefield is the historic Liberia Plantation. This plantation was once a thriving plantation with numerous slaves. However, because of the war, this plantation became a headquarters for General Beauregard of the Confederate Army and a hospital for the hundreds of soldiers that died at the first battle of Bull Run. Later in the war, this plantation once again became a headquarters, this time, however, it was the headquarters for General McDowell, a General for the Union. What makes this plantation even more significant is that this plantation served as the meeting place for General McDowell and President Lincoln to talk their war strategy, as well.

Manassas is located in Prince William County, home to many Nellis Group communities, including: Dominion Valley, Dumfries, Gainesville, Haymarket, Lake Manassas, Montclair, Occoquan, Piedmont, Powell's Landing, Quantico, Westridge, Winding Creek Estates, and Woodbridge.  Each of these communities are great places to call home surrounded by fantastic historic locations.

Historic Alexandria, Virginia: Neighborhoods Amidst American History

by Lee Gleason - The Nellis Group

Established in 1749, Alexandria, Virginia was home to numerous historical figures and is the site of many historical locations.  George Washington, the nation's first president and arguably one of its most influential leaders, maintained a town home on Cameron Street in Alexandria and attended Christ Church, where he eventually purchased the pew in which his family sat for many years.  Similar to George Washington, Robert E. Lee also grew up in Alexandria at a place now known as the Lee-Fendall House Museum and Garden, which was purchased by his father, "Light Horse Harry" Lee, in 1810. 

Alexandria was a major trading and port town during the colonial era and often found itself as a major location during conflict throughout American History.  During the French and Indian War, Alexandria served as a headquarters for General Braddock at what is now known as Carlyle House Historic Park. During the War of 1812, the British troops occupied Alexandria for five days during its scourge on the capital.  Once again, during the Civil War, Alexandria served as another major headquarters, this time, however, for the Union Army. And lastly, during WWI and WWII, the U.S. Naval Torpedo Station was located along the Potomac in Alexandria and has since been changed into the Torpedo Factory Art Center. Each one of these examples depict not only the historical significance of such a great town as Alexandria, but also its geographical significance due to its proximity to the Potomac River and the nation's capital.

Despite the fact that Alexandria was an important town during seemingly every major conflict in the United States, it also serves as an example of the strides made in racial equality within the United States.  Alexandria was once a major headquarters for slave traders. However, in 1939, the first sit-in for the Civil Rights Movement took place in the Alexandria Public Library.  More information about Alexandria's African American History can be found at the Alexandria Black History Museum.       

The town of Alexandria is great not only because of its rich history, but also because it is home to five of our beautiful Nellis Group Communities: Del Ray, Kingstowne, North Ridge/Rosemont, Old Town, and West End.  This town also includes one of our Nellis Group featured properties at 6205 Elati Court.  For more information about this property, visit the 6205 Elati Court Blast page
