Winchester and Powhatan Meetings Canceled

The Powhatan meeting, originally scheduled for 4/17/05, has also been canceled.
The meeting schedule has been updated to reflect the changes.
VVAW Mission Statement Posted
We had two versions of a VVAW mission statement that was circulated, and we asked which of the two versions everyone preferred.
The winning mission statement has now been posted, and reads as follows:
"Virginia Voters for Animal Welfare (VVAW) is an animal welfare group.
VVAW’s approach to the pet overpopulation problem will be to advocate and work toward responsible government, responsible ownership, and responsible breeding.
VVAW’s mission is to bring humane education to the public and bring awareness of the pet overpopulation problem in Virginia, to reduce Virginia’s pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs, to have strong humane laws enacted and enforced in the Commonwealth of Virginia, to have the resources provided to enforce said laws, and to eliminate gas chambers."
"About Us" Page Updated
A revised "About Us" page has been posted which reflects much of the activity of the last twelve months or so.
