From the City of Edgewater:
Sustainability Committee
Your Voice Matters
Edgewater’s newly formed Sustainability Committee is looking for feedback as they work to create a Sustainability Plan. A Survey is now available to gather information on where Edgewater is currently with sustainability efforts and where the community would like to head into the future. Save paper by taking the survey online or pick up a copy at the Civic Center and drop it off there as well.
On Tuesday April 9th from 6-7:30pm, the Sustainability Committee is hosting an Open House where they will also be gathering ideas and looking for feedback. Republic Services and the Edgewater Library’s Sustainability Seminar will also be available to answer questions. Come and enjoy refreshments and treats while sharing your thoughts about sustainability.

Senior FREE Walk I.D.: The Edgewater Fitness Center offers older adults, ages 60+, a “Senior FREE Walk” I.D. membership for those individuals who DO NOT want to use the weights, cardio, and/or gymnasium but would like to access the indoor track. This I.D. would allow participants to use the indoor track any time during regular business hours and with no charge. Each participant issued a “Senior FREE Walk” membership would simply scan their I.D. when they arrive to begin their visit.
