Default Virginia Chapter 22

This is a heads up for Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. area PRA members!

Virginia PRA Chapter 22 is dormant with only a caretaker president. He has been a big supporter of the PRA through the years but I suspect he is getting up there in age and without new members to keep the chapter going there is a good chance it will disappear all together.

So, those in the area, that have an interest in maintaining this chapter, can contact me and I'll give you further details.

It is sad to hear that. I know how daunting the task can appear to build a chapter, but I have found that if you just give it your best and let people know you are out there that it will surprise you how many want to join you. Someone just has to be willing to stand up and say "here I am". I hope there are people out there willing to get the ball started. It really is a lot of fun and well worth the effort once it starts rolling.

I just met with a member of the Minnnesota PRA chapter. They have recently re-activated their chapter, built a web site and have a large and growing list of members.
Way to go !
