You're Invited to a Party!

Yes, you! You are invited to a party--in fact, you are invited to several parties!

Here is a list of holiday open houses and town hall meetings to be hosted by elected officials serving Fairfax County residents. If you are a Fairfax County resident, please stop by these events to hear what your elected officials are working on, where their priorities are, and what they need from us. And, of course, express your opinion on how you'd like to see them work, prioritize, and help you.

Mark Your Calendars:

Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova
Wednesday, January 13, 4-7 P.M.
Government Center Forum (12000 Government Center Parkway)
Please bring a donation of canned goods for local charities.

Delegate Mark Sickles, State Senator Toddy Puller, and State Senator George Barker
Saturday, January 30, 10 A.M. to noon
Snyder Center (6450 South Van Dorn Street, Kingstowne, VA, 22315)

Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay
Saturday, January 30, 1-3 P.M.
Franconia Governmental Center Community Room (6121 Franconia Road)

Yes, two of the events are on the same day. Luckily, the locations are less than two miles apart, with a convenient "lunch hour" between them.

I should mention, sometimes these events are so full people are packed in like sardines. Other times, well, once upon a time I was one of two people who showed up at an elected official's open house. In case that happens to you--be prepared with what you want to say or write it down and hand it to your elected official. Or both.
