SCAN'S ANNIVERSARY UPDATE:
It's hard to believe
we're more than half-way through our 20th
anniversary year! We've
already had wonderful opportunities to mark this
milestone...official Proclamations from state
and local governments, the ongoing Snapshots of Hope
series, and the launch of our new website
and this updated eNewsletter!
But the
celebration continues! In the coming
months, we have some very special ways YOU can
celebrate with SCAN, including our annual
Toast
to Hope event and the chance to
purchase a beautiful commemorative statue -
details coming soon!
One more
special note:
This
month, SCAN is also celebrating the life of
Honorary Board Member Senator Joseph V.
Gartlan, who passed away last
month. You can read more about his
incredible contributions to our community and
commitment to Virginia here. |
