FIVE THINGS: English Workshop in Falls Church Tonight

1-    Learn to speak English at a workshop at the Thomas Jefferson Library in Falls Church on Tuesday starting at 6:30 p.m. Click here to register for the workshop.

2-    Street sweeping continues in the City of Falls Church through Friday. It is important that residents move vehicles off of residential streets between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. when street sweeping is scheduled for their area. Parked vehicles impede the street sweeping equipment, resulting in less efficient and effective service. See the schedule and locations of street sweeping here.

3-    The City of Falls Church Recreation and Parks Department fall brochure is now available and residents can register for a variety of classes and activities for all ages.

4-    On Saturday the City of Falls Church will host Public Utilities Open House at the Property Yard (7100 Gordon Rd.) from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The free event includes activities for the entire family, including taking pictures on heavy-duty equipment. Visitors are invited to watch utility employees demonstrate equipment use, make water connections, and more.

5-    If you are celebrating a birthday on Sept. 18, you share it with actresses Greta Garbo and Jada Pinkett-Smith and cyclist Lance Armstrong. Happy birthday!
