Dear Reader:
This special guide is intended to convey a sense of community for those living in Vienna and Oakton, as well as to provide practical what-to-do and where-to-go information. This directory of area organizations and services also includes a bit of local history.
The guide details how local government works and provides basic information on the school system, such as vaccination requirements, as well as details on recreation, parks, and places of worship. Phone numbers to obtain more information about any service or issue are also offered.
The Connection would like to acknowledge the work of interns Maggie Miller, Stephen Evans, Phil Baughman and Melissa Baran, who researched information, checked facts and collected data for this Newcomers' & Community Guide.
