We’re doing it again! PotomacLocal.com will hold its second in a series of free neighborhood meet ups at 6 p.m. Wednesday May 4, at Madigans Waterfront at 201 Mill Street in Occoquan, Va.
What better place than in Occoquan, known as the “crown jewel of Prince William County,” to have a neighborhood get together and talk about community, have some fun and meet new friends?
In addition to all of you, Kayne Karnbach from the Prince William Clean Communities Council will join us to tell us all about what their organization does to keep the Occoquan and the rest of Prince William beautiful.
If you came to our meet up in March at the Potomac Town Center in Woodbridge you know how much fun it was.
This time we’ll be on the river, have a few laughs in the lounge and enjoy the music at the tiki bar.
We think it’s a great way to celebrate spring, and we hope you’ll join us!
By the way, those who come will get a free PotomacLocal.com ink pen, so come on out!
