Adams Morgan Co-Work

This will be a low-key container to get things done alongside other women and friends who work remotely. Bring your laptop, book, or to-do list, along with your good vibes and productive energy.
Open Bar & Seminar (Free but RSVP required)
After hosting successful events, I always think that we could have done better and relate it to our day to day life and make it educational. In this connection, I wanted to show off my investment and trade hat and organize series of Happy Hours around Investment & Trade.
We will have speakers from different sectors and industries, at each Happy Hour. At this particular event, the speakers will discuss retirement savings with an overview of annuities and how they can be used in retirement.
Topics will include:
- Today’s retirement savings challenges and approaches
- Sources of income in retirement
- Annuities and how they can be utilized for retirement savings and income
• RSVP is required.
The address will be sent to members who RSVPed, before the Event.
Enjoy!

Craft Alchemy Business Presentation
## 1 Million Cups Loudoun – Business Presentation
### Featuring Mary Hartshorn, Founder of Craft Alchemy
**Wednesday\, June 10 \| 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM**
**Venture X Loudoun**
Join us as we welcome **Mary Hartshorn**, founder of **Craft Alchemy**, to the 1 Million Cups Loudoun stage.
***
## About the Presenter
Mary Hartshorn is an Army Veteran, entrepreneur, and founder of Craft Alchemy. With a background in communications and logistics and an MBA earned in 2016, Mary spent years developing expertise in e-commerce, digital products, automation systems, Shopify, Etsy, and customer-focused product development while raising her family and navigating military life.
In 2024, a personal moment of crisis inspired Mary to create a tool that could help others facing similar challenges. What began as a resource for veterans quickly evolved into a broader solution designed to support individuals and families navigating autism, mental health challenges, caregiving responsibilities, medical conditions, and other situations where communication can become difficult during times of stress.
***
## About the Business
Craft Alchemy has developed the **Anchor Tag Support System**, a personalized QR-based support hub that helps individuals quickly access calming tools, emergency contacts, support resources, and personalized information when they need it most.
Designed to bridge the gap between physical and digital support, Anchor Tags provide a practical, accessible tool for Veterans, First Responders, autism families, caregivers, mental health advocates, schools, healthcare providers, and organizations focused on community well-being.
Rather than creating another app, Craft Alchemy offers a real-world solution that can be carried, accessed quickly, and utilized during moments when support and communication matter most.
***
## Who Mary Is Looking to Hear From
Mary would especially value feedback and connections from:
* Veteran support organizations
* First responder support groups
* Mental health professionals and advocates
* Autism and disability support organizations
* School administrators and special education professionals
* Healthcare and caregiving professionals
* Nonprofit leaders
* Community outreach specialists
* Government contracting and partnership advisors
* Local leaders focused on community impact initiatives
***
## Current Business Focus & Challenge
Craft Alchemy is currently in its early growth and partnership stage.
Mary's primary focus is building awareness, establishing strategic partnerships, and expanding opportunities within organizations and community-based networks.
She is seeking feedback around:
* Building strategic partnerships
* Scaling awareness organically
* Expanding into schools, nonprofits, and community organizations
* Navigating government and organizational opportunities
* Growing a mission-driven business without relying heavily on paid advertising
She would also appreciate introductions to individuals and organizations connected to veterans, first responders, mental health advocacy, autism support, caregiving, education, and community health initiatives.
***
## Why Attend?
* Learn about an innovative solution designed to support people during moments of stress and crisis
* Provide valuable feedback to a mission-driven entrepreneur
* Connect with community leaders, advocates, and professionals across multiple industries
* Be part of a meaningful conversation around accessibility, support, and community impact

The Cash-Flow Breakfast Club - REI Education & Networking event - Loudoun
**Important Update**
**We are no longer using Meetup for event RSVPs.**
To RSVP for our next event, please visit:
[https://the.cashflowbreakfastclub.com/Loudoun](https://the.cashflowbreakfastclub.com/Loudoun)
Calling all Loudoun County and Northern VA Real Estate Investors, Agents and Professionals! Join the most unique real estate investor club, education, networking and mastermind event in the US! The Cash-Flow Breakfast Club is nationwide but was founded right here in your back yard!
**This is a 12 part education series with new topics every month. This event is session 6 of 12!**
**This event is free but has very limited seating and we are limited to the first 100 to RSVP! Join us and become a founding member of this amazing community!**
*(it is ok to attend even if you missed previous sessions. Each session has stand alone topics. You can also attend other near by locations to get caught up on sessions that you have missed.)*
**Very limited seating. In-person only.**
**Make sure to RSVP today to reserve your spot.**
**When: June 9, 2026 @ 5:45pm-9pm EST**
**Where: 20116 Ashbrook Place Suite 200 Ashburn, VA 20147**
The Cash-Flow Breakfast Club is NOT just a meet up. It’s the most unique Real Estate Investor Community of Mentors, Coaches & Masterminds. A community of growth oriented, abundance mindset, go-giver individuals with a BARE MINIMUM commitment to become financially free through real estate investing.
We focus on providing education and building networks to help every member solve their cash-flow freedom equation, so they can have the time-freedom needed to follow their passions, make a lasting impact and even change the world! The unique format of this event, which consists of high-level education, gamified networking, mastermind breakout sessions, case studies, group deal analysis, market deep dives, and peer-to-peer coaching facilitation makes this the most impactful local real estate investor group a real estate investor can be a part of.
The foundation of the group is built around the belief that everyone in the room has the potential to change the world… however most of us never have the time, energy or financial situation to even dare to dream big enough. Most of us have passions that will never be followed, amazing businesses or ideas that will never be pursued… unless we can solve the Cash-Flow Freedom Equation, which ultimately leads to Time-Freedom. Once that happens it is usually much easier for us to think bigger, dream bigger, be bigger.
