1997 Summer BOD: Virginia Beach

December 22, 2021

The Board of Directors met on July 19, 1997, at the Princess Anne Country Club in Virginia Beach.

Board members were updated on Kent-Valentine House construction — finishing up Phase I tower addition and nailing down plans for Phase II renovation of headquarters. An updated security system was to be included, as housekeeper Annie Tyler reported discovering a man sleeping under the hydrangeas next to the porch. When police asked why he didn’t go to a shelter, he replied that he had been sleeping under those bushes for about three years because he didn’t like the class of people who go to the homeless shelters.

Mr. Harnsberger signed a new lease for the Carriage House with a more realistic rental fee.
