As our Season is getting ready to start, I wanted to extend my invitation to visit with us. We invite you to attend and participate in Weston's Annual Memorial Day Parade, Saturday May 23...and the Museum's "VET-Together" following that day. We extend an invitation to use the Museum Grounds should you like to set up a "Civil War History Weekend" event. I just wanted to extend the hand of Friendship and Welcome.

OK beginning to understand why Lisa quit several years ago!!!!! This is Tonya Daft. This site has never been inactive. I have managed it since Lisa Quit several years ago almost 10 years I think. I average 3-4 messages a week concerning our group the WVRA and I answer every single one of them. Mostly they are people wanting information on how to become a member. I heard that some were having problems with the site.....but could not get any information as to what the problem was. Even talked to Peter Baxter about it several years ago. I did see where someone change the background and I did not do that!!! Preferred it the way it was but what ever. I get phone calls, email and messages about our group which I pass on to you the WVRA membership. Everyone needs to work together instead of negativity.
Saying someone or something is inactive before understanding why is not working together. We have lost several members. We have several members that are sick or have family members that are dying or sick. Maybe we should be there for them instead of labeling active or inactive especially when they pay their dues and help where they can. If you take the time to scroll this site you will see it is active. And several things have been posted. And in answering members or future members messages should be enough to say something is active. Take care everyone...please be positive.
