Our December 13th meeting was held at Arrowhead Elementary School at 7pm. The meeting began with our scouts of Troop 499, a presentation of colors, and the pledge. Brenda A., our president, called the brief meeting to order with just a few items on her agenda. The two biggest items were the luminaries for Share the Light night and upcoming January elections.
Our luminary night was changed to December 22 due to delivery problems. The luminaries will be delivered to the homes of those who ordered. We hope to get members and the boy scouts to help with that task. This will be the first time this is a city-wide event. It can only get better and more recognized.
January 10 is the date for our next meeting. There will be elections for new officers. If you would like to get involved, represent your neighborhood in the league, or give a small amount of time to a sub-committee, please let someone know. We all are just citizens doing the best we can to help within the confines of a busy schedule.
Wayne Troester reported that we had a balance of $5049.81 in the treasury. Our attendence was 27 for the December meeting. Membership dues for 2008 are needed.
There will be a city-wide awards banquet for civic league members who have performed above and beyond the call of duty on December 11, Friday. We have three members who were entered into the considerations. John S, our high school historian, was nominated for his dedication, work,and expertise in this area. He is also the youngest member of our civic league. Ginny P was recognized for her efforts in gang awareness, crime statistics and tips, and her untiring efforts to get a neighborhood watch program going for us all. Finally, Brenda A. was praised and recognized for her efforts to move a neighborhood luminary event to a city-wide Viginia Beach event. She has worked closely with the Virginia Beach City Civic League Organizations (VBCCO). Each nominee received a Christmas poinsettia.
The meeting was then adjourned and refreshments (cookies, candy,cakes,and punch) were enjoyed by all. Happy Holidays! Please come to the January 10 meeting. It is important to us all!
