'Green' in Vienna
By Town of Vienna Mayor Jane Seeman

Green is the color of Vienna these days. Not the color of money, but the green color of grass and artificial grass.

The artificial turf on Waters Field at the corner of Center Street S and Cherry Street SE is the result of cooperation between the Babe Ruth Baseball League, Vienna Youth, Inc., the Town of Vienna, and Fairfax County. The artificial turf will allow play on the field during all weather and will cut down on the maintenance expense to the Town. If you haven’t seen a youth sports event on that field, be sure to stop by, see the kids play and see the field improvement.

The other ‘green’ is the Town Green. The old Wright Building is now demolished at the corner of Maple Avenue and Mill Street, and the area is being cleaned, graded and seeded in preparation for the Town Green development. When completed in the Spring 2007, the Town Green will be an oasis on busy Maple Avenue. There will be a plaza, paths, seating walls, a gazebo for entertainment, public restrooms, the holiday tree, and a fountain. The area will be a wireless communication zone. The Town Green will provide a quiet respite from stress-filled lives and add immeasurably to Vienna’s quality of life.

There are so many reasons why Tana should be getting this honor, not the least of which is her superb work to make our 2006 Casino Night the most profitable one ever. Of course her work as Sr. VP of Fundraising makes it possible for the Chamber to exist financially and puts our name out there with Fundraising Events that are the "places to be" in the area. Behind the scenes she is inexhaustible in the time and energy she gives and she never drops the ball, although she juggles more than anyone else could possible handle. Her ability to keep the big picture in the forefront while never missing a single detail is awesome and unequalled.

Tana spent seven years in the technology industry, working both in sales and business development. Currently she is a Realtor with the Vienna Long and Foster office on a team with her mother, Debbie Earman and sister, Brett Cordeau. When employed at Network Solutions, Tana was the Chairperson for the Community Action Committee. The CAC gave her an opportunity to work with many organizations, non- profits, individuals and events within the Northern Virginia communities and to help those in need.

Tana currently lives in Vienna with her husband Doug and son Alex. She grew up playing Vienna sports and attending Vienna schools. She cherishes the memories the community has provided her and looks forward to creating new ones with her own family.
