CENTREVILLE, Va. — In what’s become one of the most polarizing seasons in history, some future voters have found a way to unify people coming to one of Fairfax County’s busiest polling places.
Overlooking a table of freshly-baked cookies, cupcakes, brownies and other desserts, organizer Gabie Nicchitta says the Centreville High School Chorale Boosters are using a bake sale to raise money for music, music stands and other items needed for the school’s choir groups.
“It’s a really good place for us to bond — and to make money,” Nicchitta says with a laugh.
