MARCH 2018 • FOGHORN 35 NEWSWIRE Sign Up Now for the PVA Fly-In on Tuesday, May 8 This year’s PVA Congressional Fly-In is scheduled for Tuesday, May 8. Please consider joining us on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, to bring PVA’s legislative message to our national elected officials. Participants in previous PVA Congressional Fly-Ins will tell you that it was a valuable use of their time and energy. If you have never participated in meeting with legislators or if you feel uncertain about your “lobbying” skills, don’t let that deter you. Plan to arrive in Washington during the day or evening of Monday, May 7. Our full-day program on Tuesday, May 8, will begin with a knowledge- able “kick-off” speaker, followed by a briefing about the messages PVA will take to Congress. Then it’s off to Capitol Hill for a full day of meetings. We’ll conclude with a closing dinner on Tuesday evening. Our hotel is the Sheraton Suites Old Town Alexandria, 801 North St. Asaph Street, Alexandra, VA 22314.
