1998 Winter BOD: Richmond

January 3, 2022

The Board of Directors met at the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond on January 22, 1998.

Betty admitted she had initially worried about dislocation caused by KVH construction, but realized it had turned into a pleasant way of getting to know “our friends and neighbors.” Committee meetings throughout the construction process met at the Woman’s Club, APVA headquarters, Commonwealth Club, Wilton, Farmington Country Club, Darden School of UVA, Virginia Historical Society and homes of members.

A follow-up discussion of Board of Governors round-table topics (Community Impact, Awards and Funding) pointed out the following: a need for better GCV communication, particularly concerning awards; more GCV encouragement and recognition of community involvement by member clubs; and more sensitivity of the GCV Board of Directors to cost issues of the clubs.

In other business, Conservation Chairman Hylah Boyd announced the de Lacy Gray Medal had been funded again by the Duningtons (Dolley Madison Garden Club) and will be restruck; the ad hoc Development Committee was to become a Standing Committee; the cost of publishing Follow the Green Arrow II stood at $38,066.22 with 218 copies sold.
