==================================
Welcome to the NOVA Council
We want to welcome you to our Council website
and give you some
information about our programs and numerous activities.
We are a CO-OPERATIVE OF THE
CORPORATE AND THE CARING. Our Goal - to continue Education and Support
of the issues which are important to ALL who have interest in our Sea
Services. The Navy League frequently holds events that provide the
opportunity for NLUS members and corporate sponsors to have face-to-face
interaction with senior leaders of the Sea Services. We also enable
our retired military members to keep abreast of legislative and military
matters which affect their individual services. This format also provides
contact with the branch of service of a loved one, or just the
opportunity to be involved with a service that has moved into the 21st
century with pride and a clear understanding of its role and mission.
We are proud of our mixture
of community and corporate affiliate members, retired military, family members and other sea supporters. We
are committed to providing a broad spectrum of activities for ALL our
members and doing so in an affordable manner. We pride ourselves in
providing support for the enlisted men and women who are members of our adopted units.
The Northern Virginia Council
distinguishes itself as one whose membership rolls up its sleeves and
pitches in when help is needed. For example, many of our members work
as volunteers at the Navy League's Sea-Air-Space Exposition. Our Council
hosts a table at the National Capital Region annual Navy Birthday Ball for
the winner of the regional NJROTC drill team competition. As part of our
youth program the Council helps sponsor the Sea Cadet unit in Roanoke, VA
and provides an annual "John Camp Memorial" scholarship to a selected Sea
Cadet. If you have an interest
in membership, public affairs, youth, or other Council activities, please
let us know. We cherish our long-time associates and are always looking for
new blood to keep the Council growing better and better!
You will receive reports
on events and updates announcing special programs as they occur,
electronically if you provide an e-mail address. WE VALUE YOUR PARTICIPATION.

Budd Haemer, President
