Join DVM for a Trip Back in Time!
It’s time for everyone in DVM to come together and take a trip back in time!
On October 20 at 11 a.m., we will be gathering at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in Manheim, PA, for Halloween Daze & Spooky Knights.
Feel free to dress in costume and bring the kids because this is a family friendly gathering for all ages. There will be a Halloween Treasure Hunt and costume competitions for children and adults. What Halloween celebration would be complete without Trick or Treating throughout the Shire? In addition to all of these special events, you’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy all the Shire has to offer including food, drink, music, shows, and the excitement of jousts for honor and glory. Visit http://www.parenfaire.com/faire.html for more information and directions.
If all of that wasn’t enough, you also get a discount for joining DVM at the Faire! Group tickets are $23.95 for adults and $7.95 for children ages 5-11. Click http://tinyurl.com/yd28bk4h to buy your tickets! Hope to see you there!
Nominating Committee Members Needed
With elections just around the corner for DVM officers, it is time to find volunteers for our Nominating Committee. We need dedicated members of our chapter to help us encourage, recruit, and review potential nominees for office in the coming election.
If you volunteer for the Nominating Committee, you cannot also run for office, so if you want to pitch in but want to guarantee you won’t be an officer, here’s your chance!
If you are interested and would like to know more, please reach out to locsec@dvm.us.mensa.org and deputylocsec@dvm.us.mensa.org.
