Upcoming Meeting Dates

Wednesday, July 10, 2024 – The Executive Board decided to let some of the summer months be primarily for fun. So, our July meeting will host our annual picnic. That means we’ll eat and play games. The chapter will provide fried chicken, beverages and paper products. Everyone attending is asked to bring a dish to share and bring a friend.  TIME CHANGE:  11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 – At the picnic last year, Lynn hosted our first Bingo activity with prizes and lots of fun. We’ve decided this year that we’ll dedicate our August meeting solely to playing Bingo. Of course we’ll have prizes. Some of which you’ll be able to “take to the bank.” Not really the bank but to the store/restaurant/etc. So come out and try your luck.

Wednesday, September 11, 2024 – we’ll have a representative from the Attorney General’s office. She did an excellent job during her last visit providing us with information on safety from scams, fraud, etc.

Wednesday, October 9. 2024 – October will be our annual BCBS FEHB update with Kathy Bass. Kathy always has loads of information regarding the upcoming year’s premiums and changes.

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 – “Souper Bowl” is our Alzheimer’s Fund Raiser held in November. That has been a hit over the last few years even though the name “souper bowl” was adopted last year. Come out and enjoy a variety of soups which are prepared by our members who love to cook.

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 – 
December is when you put on your finery and show up for the Christmas Luncheon. Sometimes we are looking for things to do whereby we can pull out our dressy dress/etc. put on a suit and tie and head out for some fun, laughter, and maybe even a picture with Santa. Well, look no further, plan to attend the Christmas Luncheon.

If so inclined, please take a minute to thank Virginia Representatives who helped in the WEP/GPO grassroots initiative in 2022, we still need them as we begin work in the 118th Congress
