The Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra and the New Dominion Choraliers frequently come together for concerts at special times of the year. Most recently, for example, they performed at the Hylton Memorial Chapel in honor of Veteran's Day. My husband and I try to the best of our ability to attend their individual and joint performances.

Both the orchestra and choraliers are volunteer organizations with extremely motivated and professionally accomplished members. Many members of both organizations are either active duty or retired military musicians and vocalists, professional musicians or vocalists with other organizations or local citizens who want to contribute to the cultural wealth of the Prince William County experience. Whatever their background Arthur and I are proud to recommend them to our community.

The Woodbridge Community Choir was started in a local church in 1966 and has been an all volunteer organization ever since - 42 years and going strong.

What is most noteworthy about the Woodbridge Community Choir is that all of their concerts are presented free to the public. The by-laws prevent charging admission for a performance.

• Concerts are held in area churches and schools large enough to hold their audiences.
• The choir has appeared a number of times at the Kennedy Center, the Ellipse, and the Pavilion in Washington, D.C. during the Christmas season.
• One of the highlights in their history was a live performance on NBC's Today Show with Willard Scott in December of 1986

Planning to consider Lake Ridge as your new home? Want more information about Lake Ridge? Call me at 703-690-6569 - I'm a 26 year resident and full time real estate broker. Lake Ridge has 25,000 residents - many of whom travel north to the Pentagon and other work centers.

If you've ever lived in a town of 25,000 people with more than 7,000 residences of all types then you have a pretty good idea of what Lake Ridge is like. Lake Ridge is not a town, township, village or anything like that - it is a subdivision in the Woodbridge section of Prince William County, Virginia

However, it has tons of community spirit which explains its' popularity with residents of all walks of life - military, civilian. self-employed, retired and professional. It certainly is why Arthur and I chose it as our home 26 years ago.

An excellent example of community spirit is the Fantasy Playground located on Cotton Mill Drive next to the Tall Oaks Pool and Community Center which is at the corner of Hedges Run and Cotton Mill Drive.

It took 1,400 volunteers four days to build it - is over 60 feet long. My husband and I had both sore muscles and blisters. Was it worth the effort? Just ask the swarms of little boys and girls who use it all year long. On a sunny day it is as busy as an ant hill.
