To all our VA Peninsula chapter members and supporters,

This is the time for gratitude, the time to recognize how fortunate we are. I am thankful for life, for work, for health, for family and for friends and colleagues who are like family members. I am particularly thankful for all of you, especially for those who volunteer, who encourage us through participation, and give your time to others …you make our team awesome.

I hope each of you have a fun and beautiful holiday, full of joy, friends and family. Enjoy this precious time remembering how different last year was.

Happy Thanksgiving on behalf of our AGA VA Peninsula Chapter Executive Committee
