District II (Richmond Metro) Nicole Thorn, District III (Hampton Roads) Holly
Mayo, District IV (Staunton/Charlottesville) Carrie Humphrey and District V

Doubletree Hotel in Charlottesville, VA, June 28-20, 2010. For information, or

overdue!). Look for a more user-friendly interface, as well as a new look!
Thanks to District I Representative, Lauren McCann for all the legwork on our
new site.
