Tammie Miller Jennings, the Secretary, recommended that we develop some survey or method to determine particular political or volunteer interests of our members so we can help connect them with other groups in the greater Central Virginia area so that our network grows beyond the Committee.

It was specifically discussed to have a hospitality subcommittee and a membership committee. Tammie is at right in the red & white stripes.
