Two individuals somehow hacked into our meeting and posted obscene videos, as well as engaged verbally by shouting obscenities. <br></p><p class="ydpccbc9b5dMsoNormal">We attempted to remove these two hackers, but they persisted in disrupting our meeting. It was decided by our Chapter President, Evelyn Valdez, with the support of her leadership team, after several attempts to remove these hackers from our zoom meeting, to conclude the meeting so that our meeting participants would no longer be subjected to such obscenities.</p><p class="ydpccbc9b5dMsoNormal">On behalf of the leadership team of the Greater Alexandria Chapter, we regret that you all were subjected to these extremely shameful events during our Chapter meeting.<br></p><p class="ydpccbc9b5dMsoNormal">We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Jacki Bruce, who, when notified, promptly logged in to our zoom meeting in an attempt to eliminate the hackers. Thank you so much, Jacki Bruce.<br></p><p class="ydpccbc9b5dMsoNormal">Thank you all for your patience. We will communicate information regarding rescheduling our meeting.</p></div></div><div class="ydp281d95f5signature" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "bookman old style", "new york", times, serif;"><div style="font-family: "old times", serif;"><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><b>Renee Valdez</b></font></div><div dir="ltr"><b><font size="2"><span dir="ltr">(703) 966-0836</span></font></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: serif;"><font face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="2"><b><br></b></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="times new roman, new york, times, serif"><b>**Looking to buy, rent or sell a home?
