Chapter Activities

The consensus of our attending membership believe that the prime reason for having a chapter is to

1. Offer Current Federal Employees and Retired Federal Employees in the Sterling, Reston, Oak Hill, Herndon, Chantilly, Centreville, and Outlying Areas and opportunity and a place where they can contact and/or attend and become acquainted with the various pending legislation (Federal /State) that directly impacts on their well earned retirement benefits, and
2. Render support when National, State, and local NARFE officials deem it necessary to act quickly concerning important legislative and other issues affecting employees and retirees. The above are the principle reasons for Chapter meetings. The Chapter current activities include:
   1. Membership meeting every fourth Monday, 11:30 am-2:00 pm that includes (a) luncheon, (b) a Program Activity presentation expressed by the membership, and (c) business meeting. Meetings are not held during the months of July and August; and, monthly membership meetings are typically the 4th Monday of the month.
   2. Except for months of July and August, the Executive Committee meets the second Wednesday of the month.
   3. Representatives of the Chapter Executive Committee should attend the bimonthly Areas 9 / 10 Caucus meeting held at the Vienna Community Center, Vienna, VA. During the odd months, except for July.
   4. The Chapter President is expected to attend the quarterly AREA X meetings during the months of March, June, September, and December. Locations to be announced by the Federation's Area Vice President prior to the meeting.
   5. Chapter members are encouraged to attend the annual Virginia Federation of Chapter Convention and the biannual NARFE National Convention.
   6. TOURS AND TRAVEL STATUS For your information, Dulles Chapter 1241 will be sponsoring additional tours in the coming years. Our intent is to choose tours that our membership and other potential travelers are interested in. Our next tour destination has not yet been determined so if there is a specific place you would like to go, please contact Bill Boning .
   7. End of year Holiday festivities and Installation of Dulles Chapter 1241 Officers for the new year.
      

At this point in time, we want to shape our message to all of our many Dulles 1241 Chapter members, including those who we never see or hear from during the year. Members should feel free to contact any one of us listed on the Web Site page by post card, letter at PO Box 294, Herndon, VA 20172-0294, or E-mail just to establish periodic contact. It is important to those of us that you elect as your officers each year to get feed back from all of you just to know that (1) the Newsletter that you read once a month is satisfactory, (2) the services that you might expect to receive are complete, and (3) your expectations of NARFE benefits received, in exchange for the annual dues paid to National Headquarters and to your Chapter, are satisfactory to you. Please get in touch. Don't put if off.
