A Message from the Mayor

Euille 081607Alexandria is a caring community, and I encourage you to participate in the Mayor’s “Get Fit for Alexandria” Initiative which promotes healthy lifestyles and physical fitness for individuals, families and our young people. Look for the “Step Up to Health” logo throughout the Department's program guide to assist you in choosing healthy lifestyle options.

This fall, the City is offering a variety of new classes for pre-school through senior adult. New classes for youth include Tumbling for ages three to twelve, and Adaptive Swim Programs for six months to four years. New classes for adults include Aerobic Belly Dance, Cardio Latin Dance, and Hip Hop Aerobics. For seniors, new classes include Aquatic Exercise, Cardio Chair & Sculpt, and Introduction to the Fitness Room. Registration for all classes begins Monday, August 17.

Join me Friday, November 27 at the City’s Annual Tree Lighting program at Market Square. This signature event, featuring a visit from Santa Claus, officially opens the holiday season in the City of Alexandria. Come early and stay late to take advantage of the variety shopping and dining opportunities in our historic district.

I continue to be active in Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities programs, and I encourage all residents of Alexandria to take advantage of the activities and facilities the Department offers. Download the Department's Program Guide and refer to it often.
