70+ and doin' stuff

Let's "enjoy traditional African American storytelling and songs reflecting the journey toward freedom." Gladys & I saw them this past winter at the Lyceum. They were fabulous!

From the Gadsby Tavern, we'll walk to Market Sq. in Old Towne for the event. GT will charge a 22% gratuity for a large group.

Concert ends at 3:00 p.m.

City Hall will cancel the event if it rains.

Let's go see how your discarded Amazon delivery carton helps charge your phone.

ReWorld is allowing us to tour their Waste to Energy facility in Alexandria.

This thermomechanical treatment plant processes more than 350,000 tons of waste from Alexandria and Arlington each year, that would otherwise end up in the landfill. And, ReWorld Alexandria produces enough electricity in the process to power 15,000 homes for a year. Plus, they recover 10,800 tons of metal for recycling annually, enough to build 9,000 cars.

We will need to wear long pants and quarter-sleeved shirts, along with closed-toe shoes. ReWorld will then dress us up in a hard hat, gloves, and ear plugs for our tour through the plant.

Bring your week's household trash, no more than 500 pounds(!), to contribute to the power grid.

Laughs, conversation and lunch afterward nearby at City Kitchen, 330 S Pickett St, Alexandria, VA 22304.

Thanks to Karen Griffin for suggesting this event.
