To date the Van Metre 5K Run has raised over $2.75 million dollars in support of Children’s National.

Race day activities include an interactive warm up for the kids, arts and crafts and face painting. The post-race celebrations include cash prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall male and female runners and additional prizes are presented to the top two male and female runners in every age group.

The holiday season is upon us, and we reflect on the past year and those who have helped to shape our business – our residents. We value each and every one of you and would like to express our tremendous gratitude for your ongoing support. We know that selecting where you live is a choice and we are humbled that you chose to make a Van Metre community the place you call home.

In 2021, the pandemic has, yet again, dominated our day to day life. We’ve all had to adapt to a “new normal,” although what that looks like is different for every person. We know 2021 has been difficult, but we are looking forward to a brighter new year – 2022. A year filled with hope and possibilities!

Thank you for your continued loyalty and trust in us. Kick back and relax in your Van Metre home, have a well-deserved rest, and let every day of the holiday season be filled with joy.

From our family at Van Metre to yours, Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Mike Barrett

Group President, Investment Properties
