I do dream of love and peace and while we are on the journey to a more loving world, it is more important now than ever for ALL of us to stay united, committed and most of all, connected to our Greater Alexandria Chapter family! I invite you to participate in our Greater Alexandria Chapter Anniversary meeting scheduled for this Thursday, April 22, 2021 promptly at 7PM. Whether this is your first time or you are a returning member, we welcome and can’t wait to see you! However, since it is our Anniversary meeting, we will be holding Virtual Elections…please see the following message from Renee Valdez, our Secretary/Treasurer below and ensure you follow-up with Renee in your renewal/paying for the first time of chapter dues in a timely fashion, if you have not done so already. <o:p></o:p></span></h1><p class=ydp9304c5c3yiv4448748543msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>*</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"New serif";color:#26282A'> It is Election Time!
