RAFOM President Stan Karson honored with Sun Gazette Cup

Stan Karson, president of our neighbor civic association RAFOM, has been awarded the Arlington County Civic Federation's Sun Gazette Cup.  The Arlington County Civic Federation was established in 1916 to promote the general welfare of Arlington County. The Civic Federation's honorary cup, which dates back to 1938, is an annual award for community service.  Congratulations to our neighbor Stan Karson for receiving this historic honor.

Karson has been tireless in his service to the community.  He serves on the Boards of Directors for Arlington County's Homeless Shelter, Rosslyn Business Improvement District (BID) and the Mongolian School.[*]  He's a member of the Arlington County Diversity Dialogue Task Force and the Civic Federation's Public Services Committee and the Housing Committee.  He worked for five years to bring the Fort Myer Heights North Plan to completion. Karson's volunteer leadership has made Arlington County a better place for everyone.
