    Upcoming philanthropy invitation to Night of 1000 Pies to support Empower House, a local domestic violence shelter. This event is at Dr Rosemary O’Grady’s home 8/27/22 from 7-10pm. For our level of donation this year, we were given 4 tickets. Other individuals have tickets as well. Let Tiffany Simons know if you are interested in attending. There are also volunteer opportunities that evening to make sweet or savory pies for the event ahead of time, to help serve, help set up, or help with take down and clean-up.

    For our past holiday winter meeting, we worked on assembling hygiene kits last year, which had a great turnout. Other suggestions were Oak Grove Baptist church food pantry/holiday donations of gift cards or gifts. We could assemble hygiene kits again, or are open to other suggestions.

    Here is a list of helpful tips as you renew your membership. As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact staff.

    • To start the renewal process, members must log in. If you cannot remember your log in credentials, please contact staff.
    • Required fields are marked with an asterisk. These fields provide information that is used to contact members, enhance member benefits, and help VCNP better understand our memberships’ needs.
    • One required field is selecting your region. Members select the region in which they live or where they work. Regions receive a portion of the membership rate to fund regional programs, and use the membership lists to contact their region about programs and benefits.
    • VCNP collects donations for our scholarship program and PAC during registration. Consider adding a donation when you renew!
    • Want one less thing to do? Select to sign up for auto-renewal and scratch that off your list!
