This Thanksgiving Weekend, Buy Local, Learn Local...

This Thanksgiving weekend, you could join the long lines and crowds at the big box stores, or you could buy local, learn local -- that is, enjoy local businesses and learn about local history.

Learning Life is a new educational non-profit devoted to nurturing a wider culture of learning by spreading knowledge on the surfaces of everyday life. (Learn more about us at  http://letlearninglive.org/.) 

This holiday season, Learning Life is partnering with the City of Alexandria, VA to encourage more people in and near Alexandria to enjoy its local businesses and learn more about the city's rich history.

Through December 31, Learning Life is giving away "buy local, learn local" holiday discount cards (see attached image which features the card's front) which you can pick up and use to get special discounts at 14 different businesses, all within walking distance of each other in Alexandria's vibrant Del Ray neighborhood. 

Get the discount details at Learning Life online:

And, sign up to receive our weekly "buy local, learn local" email offering an Alexandria history fact of the week, opportunities to earn prizes for learning about Alexandria history, a weekly local adventure, and the discount details.
Sign up now -- the discounts and prizes last only through December 31!
