The Gift of Giving- 11am Zoom only discussion

As the winter holidays approach, it often becomes a busy time filled with trying to find gifts for those we care about in our lives. We are also encouraged to give to other organizations on Dec 3, which is now known as National Giving Day. For some, gift giving is a chore that they would rather not do, and seems too commercial.  But for others it is a ritual that gives them great joy. According to many studies, giving not only helps those we give to, but helps ourselves, both physically and mentally, too!   

On Sunday, December 8, please join us for an online discussion about the giving, both the frustrations and the benefits.  We will view several short videos and talk about how giving has affected our own lives and the lives of those around us.

NoVES has become a partner with Money Out Virginia to sponsor Democracy Day - A Day of Advocacy on Jan 21, 2025.   https://www.vademocracyday.com/ 

We will carpool together to Richmond, have an hour orientation and get written materials to distribute, spend two hours talking to our elected representatives about what we would like to see happening in Virginia, then attend a State General Assembly session, and some smaller committee meetings where we can listen to citizen testimony.

Following are just a few of the issues that Money Out Virginia supports

1. Restrict the personal use of campaign funds

2. Enhance disclosure of donation sources

3. Cap campaign contribution amounts

4. Start rank choice voting in VIrginia

5. Independent redistricting process

If you are interested in attending, please contact Iris Woodard (1349iwood@gmail.com) to register and sign up for carpooling. More details will be shared with those interested.
