Please do not forget to sign up for the joint SAR/DAR Christmas Party. RSVPs are due to the treasurer by Monday, December 5th, but as always we will find some way to accomodate late responses. The entertainment for the party will be the dance group from Rappahannock Colonial Heritage who will both demonstrate and instruct Colonial era dance. If you would like to stay the night, Poplar Springs is offering a deeply discounted rate for their rooms. To reserve a room contact Poplar Springs directly beforre the party.
There are two other big events for December: The Battle of Great Bridge Commemoration this Saturday in Chesapeake, VA, and Wreaths Across America on Saturday, December 17th. It would be great to see you at those events too.
News from the State Society that will effect us all is that the 2020 Congress will be held in Richmond. Earlier this year the National Society had picked Virginia as the host society, and now we have selected the host city. There will be great oportunities to participate in the Congress, and to help the State Society to host this event.
Cat & I would like to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas.
Your Servant,
Bill Schwetke, President
