March Members meeting to be held at Twin Hichory Library
Due to a scheduling conflict with the regular member's meeting location the March members meeting will be moved to the new Twin Hichory Library (Next to Deep Run High School in Glen Allen in the West End) for one meeting only. There will not be a pre-meeting dinner for March because of this temporary relocation.
