VASSAR also has a YouTube site which contain a number of past commemoration events - at least starting in Fall 2020. The events are typically broadcast live on YouTube or you can view them later. The channel can be found at:

The upcoming VASSAR Annual Meeting will be all virtual. The dates for the meeting are 5 and 6 Feb. This is a good opportunity to see what's happening at the State level, particularly if travel has been an issue in the past. There will still be a registration for the meeting. I will get that out to the Chapter as soon as it is available.
Important Items:
CMM President Charles Jameson would like to hold 2 grave markings this year. He has the graves identified, so we will be starting the paperwork to make sure those are recognized at National. The Markings will likely be in either July or August. Let us know if you'd like to help.
With the new Culpeper Minuteman Memorial in place, we'd like to hold an additional ceremony to honor the Culpeper Minutemen muster. This will be in addition to the ceremony we normally hold on or about Flag Day. The board is researching an appropriate date and will make a decision in late Feb.
In addition to the Culpeper Minutemen Monument - with the Charters of Freedom addition, we are looking to hold either a Constitution Day ceremony, or some other offering around the 17th of Sept. If you have ideas or would be interested in volunteering, please let me know.
The COVID-19 Pandemic will likely keep the next few Chapter meetings to Zoom. We are hoping that we can still hold the Graves Mountain Multi-Chapter meeting, but do not anticipate it being able to occur in April. The board feels the real essence of the meeting is the comradery from being together in one place, so we will be looking into holding the meeting at the and of August (ideally 28 Aug). The hope is that summer weather plus several months of people getting vaccinated will allow this meeting to occur.
The Chapter plans to hold an in-person ceremony celebrating the birth of George Washington at the Culpeper Masonic Cemetery on Mon., 22 Feb at 4pm. More information to come as that event gets closer.
