The Lions Club is Honored with “Promise for the Future” Award at the Spring Hills Mount Vernon Celebration and Open House

Thursday, August 22nd will be a day of celebration as Spring Hills Mount Vernon hosts “Promise for the Future” – an open house to show off the beautiful renovations just completed at this popular assisted living community in Alexandria, VA. With special pride in being located in this historic region, adjacent to the nation’s beloved Mount Vernon, Springs Hills recognizes an organization that is a prime example of being the “promise for the future” -- the Fort Belvoir-Mount Vernon Lions Club. In their honor, Spring Hills is launching the “Promise for the Future Award” to recognize valued members of the neighborhood.  

With historic character-actors portraying George and Martha Washington and others who will be participating through the day, the festivities will begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony. It will be followed by the award presentation and then many fun-filled activities, including a tour, entertainment, raffles and refreshments for all.

Recognizing the newly merged Fort Belvoir-Mount Vernon Lions Club was any easy choice for the management of Spring Hills, since their volunteers have been involved since May 2012 at Spring Hills Mount Vernon. Lisa George, Director of Recreational Services said, “We are grateful to have such a great group like the Lions Club come in on a bi-monthly basis to be with our residents.  As the day comes near you will hear all throughout the community ‘Is it the Lions Club day, yet?’  We hope to keep our relationship with the Lions Club for years to come and we are happy to recognize this group of outstanding individuals.”
