Senior Citizens Day, Free Yoga and Trivia

It's quite busy here in Patchland, so let's cut to the chase.

Here are 5 Things for your Wednesday in Alexandria:

Senior Citizens Day — Today we honor our seniors, so don’t be afraid to shake some hands or lend one if you get the chance. This observance was established in 1988 to honor senior citizens in the U.S. who make positive contributions in their communities. The day is also aimed at bringing awareness of social, health and economic issues that affect senior citizens. 

Wine Down Wednesday — Begin your roll toward the weekend with this $5 house wines special available all day at Cheesetique (2411 Mount Vernon Ave.).

Free Yoga — Check out Cool Yoga, a free, outdoor yoga class held every Wednesday in August at 1900 Mount Vernon Ave. This week’s class begins at 6:30 p.m. For more information, check out the Cool Yoga event listing posted here on Del Ray Patch.
