The Fall meeting was held
at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Virginia, on 17 Nov. 2005.
Rav Marshall called the meeting to order, then received reports from the Recording Secretary and the
Treasurer.
After
approval of the reports, Rav called upon our two speakers, Paul Snodgrass
and Danny McGuire, for presentations about plans for America's 400th
birthday. |

Paul Snodgrass gave a brief talk regarding Virginia's "2007 Community
Programs", which were created to commemorate the 400 years since the
first permanent English-speaking settlement in America.
Every 50 years since 1807 there has been special recognition of the
importance of Jamestown, with celebrations and special events. For
2007, there are many people and more than 100 communities in Virginia
implementing ideas for legacies and special events to enhance the
awareness and importance of Jamestown.
For additional information about the community programs, visit web site
www.jamestown2007.org.
Paul is Chairman of the
"Virginia 2007 Community Program Committee" for the Town of Vienna.

Danny McGuire, past
National Governor, then discussed the planning by the National
Jamestowne Society, for America's 400th birthday. Plans aren't quite
final, so they cannot be posted yet. We'll add the link to the final plans
as soon as it's available.
As mentioned
by our National Governor, Anne Netick -- in the October 2005 issue of the
Jamestowne Society newsletter -- we, the Jamestowne Society, will have a
presence on Jamestown Island during the Commemorative weekend.
