[Jeremy Grandstaff]

Hi NFBV Greater Alexandria Chapter Members,

A quick reach out to those who attended last night’s meeting and those who
weren’t able to attend. Please RSVP by August 1 with a yes or maybe, if you
are interested.

I have pasted the latest draft agenda below for our upcoming strategic
planning retreat, which will help lay-out our chapter strategy for the
coming years.

It is taking place on Sunday, August 26, from 1PM to 5PM and is probably
going to be at the same spot as our chapter meetings (1-2 blocks away from
Eisonhower Metro station on the yellow lines)

All members are welcome, but we need to be prepared to host you.

Therefore, I need anyone who plans to attend, even if you are a maybe, to
let us know by August 1.

Please respond by August 1 to me directly at jwg at sgendeavors.com with
either a yes or maybe, so we get you counted.

This is your opportunity to directly collaborate with the board and other
members on our chapter’s direction.

Thanks, and again, the draft agenda is below:
