This weekend at the Hilton in Wilmington, DE, the seven chapters of the Atlantic Middle States Association meet to discuss common business and also to vote on our recommendations for various candidates to leadership positions in our national society. We forwarded our recommendation for the office of Secretary General of Jeff Thomas of Virginia (a dual member of the CMM) and for Treasurer General, Scott Collins of GA, (also a dual member of the CMM).
During Virginia SAR President Darrin Schmidt's report from our society he presented, on behalf of the Virginia SAR, the Virginia Society Medal to Rob Meyer of New Jersey for his efforts in support of the Virginia Society this past year, and over the years before. The CMM offered dual membership in our chapter to Rob and he was pleased to join us, so he is now a dual member of our chapter.

Next year in Early August, the DC Society will host this meeting and what they have planned is very special. It won't be very far to travel for many Virginians and it is a great opportunity to mingle with some fine people from six other states and learn from them; to mingle with the current President General and at least the next three PGs, learn who they are and what their plans and dreams are for our SAR. Let' go to DC next August.
