Check The Date

It’s Monday again and there are a few things you’ll need to remember this week and we’re here to help you out.

If you’re an ice cream fan, stop by on Thursday between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and get yourself a free scoop of ice cream on Patch and win free Patch items. The ice cream is on us and to win the prizes, follow Falls Church Patch on Twitter at FCPatch and answer the questions we send out that day correctly and come on in and get your prize!

If you need some mulch, stop by the Recycling Center (217 Gordon Rd.) between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday. The City of Falls Church Operations staff will use heavy equipment to load pickup trucks and other open-bed vehicles. Be prepared to sign a waiver prior to vehicle loading. You do not need to be a City of Falls Church resident or business to participate and there is no limit to the number of loads available per customer.

If you know someone between five and 12-years-old you want to nominate for the Young People’s Poetry Contest, the deadline in Saturday. Prizes will be awarded in two categories. Call or stop by the for contest rules.

If you have an item that you want in Check The Date, please email me at andre.taylor@patch.com by the Friday before your event.
