Join our Arden Community and OSG Peers for a trip to Crystal City!
To prepare:
-Public transport: If you're taking the metro, please remember to bring your SmarTrip Card, or your Metro Access Card and a government id. Alternatively, you can bring cash/debit/credit card and purchase a roundtrip pass.
-Food/drink: We highly encourage bringing a water bottle and a snack but if you like there are plenty of food options at the mall just be sure to bring a form of payment.
Meet up: We will meet at The Arden at 12:00pm and walk to the Huntington Metro Station before boarding the train the Crystal City Station. If you arrive late, please message the group on WhatsApp to determine where we currently are. You can also meet us at the Mall.
Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on WhatsApp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the outdoor event.
Contact: We will communicate changes of plans and important updates via WhatsApp. If you are not yet in our OSG WhatsApp Events group, you can join via the link that will be sent to your email with your registration confirmation.
Accommodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Accommodation Request."
*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
