Who's planning on going?
The VCDL alert on 5/31 said pot luck dinner starting at 6:30 and meeting at 7:30, featuring C'ville PD and Albemarle SD reps to speak.

I can't go to the dinner, but am considering going for the meeting to hear what the LEAs have to say.

Is it possible to show up and join VCDL on the spot? I'd like to go.

***********************************************************

Where: Rivanna Rifle & Pistol Club (RRPC)

1570 Old Lynchburg Road

Charlottesville, VA 22903

Time: Dinner, 6:30 p.m.

Meeting 7:30 p.m.

We are pleased to announce guest speakers from the Charlottesville Police
Department and Albemarle Sheriff's Office at the next VCDL meeting held at
RRPC. Representatives from both departments will be discussing how their
officers are trained for interaction with law abiding gun owners during
traffic stops and other encounters. These meetings have proven to be very
informative in the past and we are looking forward to hearing this
presentation.

As in the past, we will begin with a pot luck dinner at 6:30 p.m. The main
course will be ravioli and meatballs. Drinks will also be provided. Please
bring a dish to share if you are able. If you cannot bring a dish, please
don't let that keep you from joining us, there is always plenty! Those
attending the dinner please RSVP to pat.webb@vcdl.org and include the number
eating dinner in the subject line (i.e. subject: 2 for dinner 6/6). No
need to RSVP if you are not eating dinner. The meeting will begin at 7:30.

A big "thank you" to RRPC for hosting these meetings. Their continued hospitality
is greatly appreciated. Please remember that you do not need to be a member
of either VCDL or RRPC to attend. In fact, we encourage you to bring
friends. If you live in the area, this is an excellent opportunity to visit
a great range and check out what they have to offer! We look forward to
seeing you on June 6th.

Thanks also to EM Patricia Webb for making the arrangements for this meeting, including coordinating with both law enforcement agencies.

An excellent meeting. Many thanks to the officers who gave helpful presentations and great answers to the many questions we all had. Had to break it off after 9:00 although it seemed the questions could have gone on much longer.

And many thanks to the VCDL and RRPC organizers, who put on an excellent feed.
