Ready to Party???
Our Social Program is ready to offer some great events for your pleasure! But, we are looking for help in planning and organizing them.

The Club has not had many parties during the past few years for lack of volunteers to share the work, and the fun. Now we have a leader and we need you to step up to help. Ideas can range from traditional parties with music and dancing to unique smaller gatherings like wine tastings, game nights, and costume parties. Does your condo/apartment have a party room? Share it with us. Our parties can also be in restaurants, boats, homes and back yards. If you would like to participate in party planning or have ideas that you would like to share, contact the Committee Leader, Toni Castagnolo.

SCWDC Bridge Club is Active Again!
Trudy Reeves is re-organizing this once popular passtime for the Club. But, the group will organize by e-mail only! To get on the bridge e-mail list contact Trudy. The host determines the date, time, location and number of tables. Fee is $5 (for snacks and drinks whether consumed or not), payable to the host. Please let Trudy know if you can volunteer as host. Trudy will explain all the requirements and also send out an e-mail to everyone on the list.

You can have it all!

Old Town Alexandria Parking Directions
Starting with parking closest to Bistro Europa (which is midway down King Street) where we plan to have frequent monthly Saturday events.

· Corner of St. Asaph and Cameron Streets is (a municipal parking lot charging $2.50 all day on Saturdays paid in advance). From Bistro Europa headed east, cross Washington Street and make a left at the next cross street which is St. Aspha and the next street parallel to King is Cameron.

· If that is full, you can go east on King one more block and make a right on to Pitt and an immediate left into the hotel underground parking lot ($12 for 24 hours).

· There is a municipal parking garage two blocks east of the King Street courthouse, under the main city square. While on King, pass the square (you will see the fountains) and make the first left on to Fairfax Street and immediately turn left into this underground lot (which is across the street from the Visitors Center. On Saturdays you can park $2 for the day. This is about 8 short blocks from the Bistro..)

· Another option is to take the metro and take the free DASH bus from the metro station, which goes down King Street almost to the water. The walk from the King Street metro about 20 minutes.

For weekend events in Old Town Alexandria when you are probably there for longer than a couple hours; suggest you not park at a meter as that limits you to 2 hours. Parking on neighborhood streets limits you to 2 or 3 hours; check the signs.

For evening happy hour/dinner events in Old Town Alexandria, you can park on the street at most meters free after 6 PM; check the meters.
