Salvete Amici! Firstly, I would like to share just how much of an honor and a privilege it has been to be your First Vice President this year. Whether I met you at Nationals, or at Certamen, or even if we have yet to meet, you guys are the reason why I consider myself so lucky to have this job. Secondly, I wanted to share a little bit about membership in the time before Convention. The Sister School System is up and running, and if your school would like to participate, please email 1stvp @ virginiajcl. org. Also, be on the lookout for a September Membership Month Drive!
