August 2023 Members’ Meeting

The August 16th Members Meeting was held at the Kings Fork Community House. Dinner consisted of baked ziti, salad, garlic bread and a variety of deserts. As usual, the cooking crew did a great job.

The guest speaker for the meeting was the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the city of Suffolk, Narendra Pleas (below). She was accompanied by the attorney’s office Community Outreach Coordinator, Joan Turner.

The presentation was an overview of the Environmental Justice Program that her office is developing. The program is planned to be a proactive program to address issues including dumping, accident remediation, cleanup and general public education. Once the program is developed, community outreach sessions will be held so that the program results in a community centered project with all stake holders involved. Her energy and enthusiasm for the project was readily apparent.

She also distributed informational brochures on other programs sponsored by her office such as the Operation Cease Fire program. Program brochures on this and other programs are available at https:/www.suffolkva.us/204/Commonwealths-Attorney .

The Officers and newly elected Board of Director members for the 2023-2024 session were sworn in by past president Ray Powell.
