LAF's 'Special' Board Meeting, the Clifton Film Fest and the Number of the Day

It’s Thursday, July 25. Here are five things you need to know in Fairfax Station. Tell us what we need to know on the Patch message board!

1. Today: The Lorton Arts Foundation Board of Directors will hold a "special meeting" this afternoon to revise the Workhouse Arts Center's FY 2014 budget, to establish a reserve fund and to authorize the "CEO to take contingency action".

2. You Said It: ”This is one of those life moments where I remember where I was when he was shot” — Reader “Wayne” commenting on the wreath-laying ceremony for the only City of Manassas police officer killed in the line of duty. Sgt. John D. Conner III was killed in the line of duty July 24, 1988.

3. ICYMI: The 5th Annual Clifton Film Fest was a hit! One thing we didn’t mention - 16-year-old filmmaker Matthew Ross has turned in a film every year since the festival started. This year his film "June" won the best story award.

4. Number of the Day: $120,000. That’s the cash Gov. Bob McDonnell is paying back to a Richmond entrepreneur. The governor is trying to resolve a scandal involving loans to his family from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams.
