Ad Hoc Charles Houston Recreation Center Naming Committee to Hold Community Information Meeting

The Ad Hoc Charles Houston Recreation Center Naming Committee will hold a community information meeting on Thursday, February 3, 7 p.m. at the Charles Houston Recreation Center, 901 Wythe St. The purpose of the meeting is to allow the public to receive information about the naming process, and to provide assistance to individuals wishing to submit a nomination.  The deadline to submit a nomination is Tuesday, March 1, 2011.

Established to honor individuals who made outstanding contributions to Alexandria’s African American community by dedicating recreation center rooms in their honor, the naming committee seeks nominations of honorees for a second round of dedications.  Last year, the Committee facilitated the naming of the recreation center gymnasium and pool.
