Williamsburg Civic Association

News

• The Williamsburg Civic Association is seeking a volunteer to be president of the association.  
• We are looking for a volunteer who would be interested and willing to serve as the president of the Williamsburg Civic Association for about a year (elections are typically held each May).  The past president, Mark Moran, is unable to serve a second year.  Other officers on the executive committee include:
  
  
  • President: (No current nominee)
  • Vice President: Coral Gundlach
  • Treasurer: Jim Toronto
  • Secretary: Jim Finley
  • Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC) Representative: Lisa Moses
  
  Until we find a president, the civic association will be in a semi-dormant state, meaning that there are no immediate plans for upcoming meetings and there will be no paper newsletters mailed out.  Nonetheless, this web site will continue and the WCA Listserv will continue to function as a communication tool.

  • Presides over meetings of the civic association and the executive committee.  There are typically four civic association meetings per year (Feb., May, Sept., Nov.) and about four to six executive committee meetings a year.

  Interested?
  If you are interested and have questions, please feel free to contact one of the current officers on the executive committee.
  
  
• Please pay your dues.  The civic association is running low on funds.  Each time we send out a paper newsletters to the 1,000 households in the civic association, it costs about $700.  Only about 10% of households in the civic association are current with their dues.  Dues are $5 per person (adults over 18).  Please fill out this form and send it with your check, payable to "Williamsburg Civic Association," to our treasurer, Jim Toronto (3577 N. Powhatan Street, Arlington, VA  22213).  You may also pay at meetings.
