Thank You to Our Loyal Supporters
The SVGS Board of Directors would like to thank those who have been loyal members, whether for the past six years or one. The Shenandoah Valley Compass Newsletter, issued by the SVGS, has been discontinued due to a lack of volunteer involvement. Also, SVGS will no longer have an official membership, but will continue with four speaker programs a year. We will accept donations at our programs to help offset the expenses for the speakers.
