Reston Community Center is looking for residents to participate in a focus group Monday to discuss possibilities for the potential new recreation center at Baron Cameron Park.
There will be many chances to offer feedback. However, if you wish to participate Monday, RCC staff asks that you sign up ahead of time.
RSVP to RCCContact@fairfaxcounty.gov by 5 p.m. Friday, March 22, at 5:00 p.m. with your name, address and email.
Those who oppose the concept will be offered an opportunity at the beginning of the meeting to express their views, however, the purpose of the meeting following the comment period will be to "focus" on the topic described, RCC Executive Director Leila Gordon says.
Other upcoming RCC Board of Governors meetings available for public comment include:
April 1 at 8:00 p.m. - Regular Monthly Meeting of the Board
April 8 at 6:30 p.m. - Finance Committee meeting
May 6 at 6:30 p.m. - Long Range Planning Committee meeting and presentation of Brailsford & Dunlavey Report; Q/A and comments to follow
May 6 at 8:00 p.m. - Regular Monthly Meeting of the Board
If you are not able to attend meetings but wish to express your views, please send them with your name and address to RCCContact@fairfaxcounty.gov.

There is no money to pay for the Soapstone extension: http://reston.patch.com/articles/where-will-soapstone-crossing-start-and-stop It is likely that the $100 to 150 million cost of that road will be passed on to Restonians. If the county uses a "service" district to pay for the Soapstone extension, the people of Reston who will be taxed to pay for it will have no vote. So I am very glad we get to vote on this new indoor rec center. It hardly matters that those opposed to this expenditure are not invited to participate in this focus group. Voting is all that matters. Kathy Kaplan
