The committee had another great conference call this evening! We're finalizing the shirt and patch designs and they ought to be available in about a month.

Also, we're discussing the possibility of having one of the local VRA chapter host a cookout and getting a live band come play during one of the evenings.

Does anyone know of a band in that area that may be interested in coming and playing?

Looking forward to meeting all you VBA folks in person at the rally!! It has been great working with Jared, Jay, Sean Terry, & Dave Jesse on the committee to answer your question on who is representing the VBA. From the VRA side of things there is myself, Michael Oldfield, Tom Taylor, & Dave Cooper who are all actually VBA members as well I think.

Yeah as I got busier with the VRA and keeping up with duties over there my quality time over here with you guys suffered terribly. That is one of the reasons this rally should be so awesome two great associations getting together!!
