Holiday Party on Wheels for
Seniors at Annie B. Rose
Thanks to MV Transportation
Eleven residents of the Annie B. Rose House were treated to refreshments and a tour of Christmas trees and holiday decorations, courtesy of MV Transportation on Wednesday, December 21. The residents traveled in the MV buses to the neighborhoods of Del Ray and Rosemont and stopped at City Hall to see the City's tree in front of City Hall.
Mayor William D. Euille took time from his busy schedule to stop by to wish the "travelers" happy holidays as they boarded the bus despite the rain that evening.
This project was put together as a way to bring joy and a unique opportunity to experience the City's holiday decorations and to highlight the importance of affordable transportation services for seniors living in Alexandria.
Senior Services of Alexandria thanks Duane Hendricks and the staff of MV Transportation and Kupenda Olusegun from the Annie B. Rose House for helping to arrange this outing for the seniors.
