City of Manassas Neighborhood Conference is Nov. 19

On Saturday, I’ll be doing one of my favorite things – participating in the City’s 5^th Annual Neighborhood Conference from 10 am to 2 pm at the Boys & Girls Club of Manassas on Dean Park Lane.  Doors open at 9 am for registration, goodie bags and a tour around the exhibit hall. 

Four adult workshops are being offered (choose two):

• Financial Tips for HOAs
• Organic Gardening for Communities
• Volunteer Power
• Understanding Code Enforcement

And Youth Café is even better this year with six activities:

• Fit U Sports Skills Challenge (Ages 5-17)
• Youth Community Game Show (Ages 5-17)
• Club Tech (Ages 5-17)
• SMART Leaders Social Hour (Ages 10-17)
• Career Launch Show (Ages 12 & up)
• Mobilizing Youth: Healthy Thinking, Emotions & Choices Show (Ages 12-18)

I love this event!  I know I’ll make at least one new friend or contact.  I’ll learn at least one new thing about how I can make my community better.  And I’ll see people I know who care about their community and are concerned enough to step out and make a difference.

Attendance is free, but register at www.manassas.org/neighconf so organizers will plan enough for lunch for everyone. 

Walgreens will be offering flu shots to participants 7 years and older throughout the conference.  Walgreens accepts most insurance plans.  If you have Medicare Part B, you’ll have no out-of-pocket cost.  The first 80 participants without insurance who come to Walgreens’ booth, will receive a free flu shot.

Thank you U.S. Food Service Manassas, PNC Bank and the many other sponsors and exhibitors!
