April Flowers but any Showers? |
Hello everyone,
Wasn’t it great to finally get some rain with the onset of spring
in late March? The flowers are doing their best to blossom forth, but let’s hope there are more showers in April coming our way. It’s time as well to get ready for the fire season so join us for a refresher on emergency preparedness this month. And on April 7, we hope to be presenting our beautiful Age Friendly Fairfax 2020 Report to the Fairfax Town Council. The lovely document details all our accomplishments of the last five years so please join us if you can for that very special occasion.
The Age Friendly Fairfax Task Force: Jody Timms, Barbara Coler, Susan A. Brandborg, Francie Bedinger, Anne Mannes, Jessica Price,
and Jackie Engstrom.
