Greetings,
I would like to step into the President’s Corner and express my appreciation to you, the RPCV/W community and see if you are interested in gaining some valuable experience as a Board Member.
As you have been aware the past couple of years we have introduced a new website (same address, just many more new features) and a new membership database. Thank you for your patience as we transitioned to our new system. We have completed the ‘automation’ aspect of the membership database – so now emails will be generated by the system to ‘remind’ you that your membership is about to lapse. This will allow us to focus more attention to growing our Membership, putting on events, etc.
We really think that the $15 Membership is a great deal especially when you look at the number of events that we put on; many of which are described below and on this website. Many of these events are no cost to you, but YOUR DUES helps the Board to put on these events. Other events that do have a ticket price are at a reduced price for RPCV/W Members.
From community service and social activities to professional development and educational opportunities, we bring you events that connect you with RPCV friends new and old, help you meet the 3rd goal of Peace Corps, and more.
Coming up, we have more excellent events planned, such as:
- RPCV/W and DC Servathon - Community Service Event - May 3.
- 5 de Mayo Happy Hour - May 5.
- Annual Wreath-Laying at JFK’s tomb - May 15.
- Annual RPCV/W Partnership Reception - June 26.
- Annual Picnic and Meeting at the Capital Yacht Club - July 12.
In addition to these benefits, you’ll continue to receive thefollowing with your Annual Membership:
- Invitations to all our events;
- Discounts at events;
- The RPCV/W newsletter; and
- Announcements available only to members.
We are still an all-volunteer organization, so your support is critical. Thank you for supporting the RPCV community.
...And if you wish to be even more involved, please consider a Board position. RPCV/W will be having their annual Board Nominations and Elections this Summer - no experience is necessary, just your energy and enthusiasm. It is a great group, a great way to gather experience and help direct the future of the RPCV/W organization. Stay tuned for details or email the Vice President for details.
Thanks and see you at the next event!
