Citizens for Fairfax Community January Update

[ASDuling]

Citizens for Fairfax Community, Inc. (CFC) elected new officers on January 10, 2012. Each position is for a 3-year term and the new officers are:

President: Mark Hunziker
Vice President: Doug Stuart
Treasurer: Barb Duval
Recording Secretary: Mary Skidmore Taylor
Communications Director: Amanda Duling

At the monthly meeting, the group, consisting of the CFC board and community members, discussed possible activities for 2012, including supporting the Fairfax Recreation Department at Community Day on July 4, hosting a Family Spaghetti Dinner the night before the Egg Run, and a Haunted House on Halloween.  The purposes of the CFC activities are to provide Fairfax with fun, family-friendly, community-building events, raise funds for future CFC activities, and increase awareness of CFC and our mission.  All activity ideas will be discussed further at the next meeting.

The next CFC meeting will be held on February 28 at 7:00pm.  All residents of Fairfax and surrounding communities are welcome to attend these meetings.  If you would like to participate, or be on our email list, please contact Amanda at asduling@gmail.com

I'll just pass this on as something to consider.  A library patron/community resident wondered recently about having Trunk or Treat in Fairfax this coming Halloween. (This is where people decorate the trunk of their car or bed of pick up truck and all park in a row in a parking lot.  Then kids trick or treat there rather than walking the roads and going to houses.)

If other groups are interested in collaborating on this, I am happy to try and facilitate getting the use of the parking lot outside the library and having the library open on Halloween evening (for warmth and bathrooms as well as trick or treating).

Neat idea, thanks, Debbie!

I agree, that is a good idea!  I like how it gives families who don't normally get trick-or-treaters a new opportunity to get in on the fun.
I'll add this to the list of ideas for our next meeting with you as a contact for the parking lot and library.

Thanks!
Amanda
