Next weekend, August 16-18, we’ll be headed to the Chesapeake Bay for the RPCVW Annual Board Retreat!  We’ll be staying at The Fox Hat home in St. Leonard, MD, a little over an hour from Washington, D.C

As we finalize the details of the agenda, there are a few logistical requests I’d like to address now. We need volunteer drivers (we reimburse for mileage based on the federal standard).  If you can drive next weekend, please respond to me with how many people you can take and where and when you would like to leave from.  Ideally, we’ll have people leaving from different locations throughout the city.   There are a total of 11 people confirmed, so assuming four to a car, we’ll need three volunteers 

Once we have drivers, leaving times and locations confirmed, I will disseminate that information so people can claim seats in cars
