McLEAN, VA – Taxpayers can tell it to the MCC board 7:30 p.m. Wednesday March 24 at the Community Center on Ingleside Avenue.
You pay millions for the McLean Community Center so here’s your annual chance to tell the MCC board what programs you want. This might be your only chance to tell the board what you want. The elected board recently shelved plans to survey McLean residents about their thoughts/wants about activities at the center.
The board’s meetings are open to the public. The public seldom attends.
The 11-member elected MCC board oversees the center’s $17 million budget. MCC offers a continuing program of activities for adults and children, including an array of classes, lectures, study tours, camps, art exhibits, theatre performances, and specialty shows.
Also, the Center sponsors McLean Day at Lewinsville Park May 15 and the 4th of July Fireworks at Langley High School. It also runs the Old Firehouse Teen Center in downtown McLean.
McLean residents living in the special tax district bordered by the Arlington County line, the Potomac River, Difficult Run and generally by Route 7, pay for the center by an assessment that is part of our property tax bills.
When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday March 24
Where: McLean Community Center, 1234 Ingleside Avenue.
Want to speak: Call 703-790-0123 and sign up.
