· A June 20 A-section article on a Justice Department grant overseer misidentified one recipient of a 2007 juvenile crime prevention award. The organization is Best Friends, not Best Buddies. In addition, the first name of Elayne Bennett, the president and founder of the Best Friends Foundation, was misspelled.
· In A-section articles June 10 and June 19, the first name of former State Department official Allen Stayman was misspelled.
· A June 20 Weekend listing incorrectly said the "Mosquitoes and Larvae and Ticks, Oh My!" event is at the Maryland Science Center. The free event is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at the Marian Koshland Science Museum.
· A June 8 Sports article on the Virginia boys' high school lacrosse championship incorrectly stated the number of goals scored by Chantilly's Jake Nolan and Corey Aferiat. Nolan scored two goals, and Aferiat had three.
· A May 31 Page One article on Washington National Cathedral contained several errors. The $7 million that the cathedral invested in new programming over three years was part of a $15 million unrestricted bequest. The $7 million -- not the entire bequest -- ends in the upcoming fiscal year. The last name of cathedral governing board member Craig McKee was misspelled. A school field trip program has been used by 8,000 Washington area children and teachers during this fiscal year, not each year. The cathedral's Family Saturday program was used by 2,000 participants this year, not families. Also, cathedral officials did not state that the cathedral has plans to reach out to Washington's younger, new-money elite.
