Message from the President
A surprising group of 73 residents representing 52 homes were present at the April meeting of VPHA especially since many have left for their northern homes. I'm hoping that this is an indication that we have been successful in reaching out to more residents. Keep up the good work, folks, invite your neighbors next time.
Dick Vanderlaan, Pres.
