News & Announcements
Potomac Valley Board Meeting
The following clubs have not been represented at either of the first two PV-LMSC board meetings this year: Ashburn Village, Chinquapin, Curl-Burke, Spring Hill, National Capital YMCA, National Naval Medical Center, Reston Masters, Rockville Masters and Team Gold. The PV-LMSC by-laws require club representation to at least one board meeting each year, or face an increased fee for club renewal. The third and final board meeting of 2000 will be November 19 at 10 a.m. at the Northern Virginia Jewish Community Center (prior to the Lox & Bagels meet). Since we are a non-profit organization we would appreciate your participation much more than penalty fee revenue.
