The 2023 Membership Drive begins the first week of January, and all residents will receive the paper membership application via their block captain. An online application also is available. For 2022 we had 251 members out of 477 homes in Country Club View. We hope that all of you who joined last year will choose to join again this year. Your membership dues are what funds all the great activities throughout the year. Remember that fantastic ice cream social with the really cute alpacas and the face painter? That is only possible with the support of a lot of members. The Board has set a goal of exceeding 260 members this year – so please join and talk to your neighbors about joining, too!

Stream Cleanup / Earth Day
2023-04-22 10:00 - 12:00 | Country Club View Park, 10609 Henrico Street, Fairfax, VA
On April 22, 2023, the CCV Stream Cleanup will be held from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. Celebrate Earth Day (April 22) by showing some love for our local stream, Sideburn branch of Pohick Creek! Please join us in reducing the amount of trash in the Country Club View Park stream to prevent it from continuing downstream! Last year there were basketballs, tennis balls, tubing, and even rusty chairs uncovered from the muck and brought out to be collected by the Park Authority. This is a great opportunity for students to earn service hours.
Two locations to meet: CCV Park by the tennis courts or the park entrance off of Grinnell Street. Dress appropriately for being in the woods and around the creek–wear gloves, long pants, and shoes that can get muddy. CCVCA will provide trash bags for volunteers and treats to enjoy after the cleanup.
Date subject to change due to weather.

The Country Club of Fairfax’s fireworks display will begin around 9:00 pm on Saturday, July 1. CCV neighbors often watch from their own homes (if skyline is unobstructed by trees) and others walk up to Ox Road and set up chairs along the sidewalk. For those who drive up, please do not park on Ox Road but instead on a side road (Portsmouth, Marlborough, Ames). Some viewers watch from University Mall and the Salvation Army. FYI: CCV’s close proximity to the fireworks can be overwhelming for people of all ages and pets, so plan accordingly for loud bangs that last about 30+ minutes!

City of Fairfax Parade
2023-07-04 10:00 - 12:00 | City of Fairfax Downtown, VA, United States
INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE
July 4th, 2023
10am – Noon
Downtown Fairfax
Rain or Shine
The City of Fairfax’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967. Organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, the parade has developed into the largest in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parade has all the requisite ingredients for the Fourth of July: marching bands, floats, Shriners’ little cars and big motorcycles, old fire engines, clowns, and the scorching sun. The parade has featured flyovers by the Flying Circus Aerodrome — and, in 1996, a hot air balloon race. Historically, the parade has been followed by an Old-Fashioned Fireman’s Day, in which area fire companies compete in firefighter-related activities; however, it has now turned into the “Future Fire Fighter’s Day”, which provides children’s activities on fire safety and education.
We hope you’ll come out and celebrate with us!
