06/30/10 - Celebration count so far: 448!

Abbreviations used in VA-ALERT: http://www.vcdl.org/help/abbr.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 448 and counting! There is going to be a lot of gun owners at those seven restaurants statewide! On behalf of myself, the VCDL Board of Directors, and VCDL's 61 Executive members, I would like to say this: Our legislative agenda this year was dedicated to VCDL Board member and treasurer, Mack Elliott, who passed away late last year. :-( I know that Mack would have been proud of VCDL's legislative successes this year. I think he knew that this would be the year for the restaurant ban repeal, but I still wish he could be here to attend one of the dinners on Thursday. I take solace in knowing that Mack will absolutely be there in spirit. I hope that as all of you are celebrating, you will take a minute to think of Mack and say a prayer for a good man and a friend. Be sure to shake the hand of our hard-working Board members (Jim Snyder, Dennis O'Connor, Bruce Jackson, Al Steed Jr., John Fenter, and Dale Welch) and all of our Executive members - without the Board and Executive members none of what VCDL has accomplished would have been possible. And I, personally, want to thank the most important people of all in the fight for our liberty here in Virginia: the 5,000 VCDL members and 14,000 VA-ALERT subscribers who, working as a HUGE voting and activism block, have made our organization one to be reckoned with! Good job, VCDL - now let's celebrate! -- There is a lot of media coverage of our celebration. I will be on channel 6 (CBS) news in Richmond tonight at 11 PM and probably in the morning. Jim Snyder will be on television in Northern Virginia tonight, too. The Richmond Times Dispatch, the Daily Press, and the Washington Post are also covering the celebration. ------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************************
