Council 2014 Reminders
Please remember that online registration for Council 2014, for the early-bird price, closes on January 15, 2014. If you have not registered by that date, plan to register on-site at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center when you come to Council. Be prepared to pay the full cost of $160 at that time. Please remember to bring your January 2014 booklet and your spring and fall 2013 booklets to Council! The three booklets contain most of the information you will need for the weekend's activities and business. If you've lost your spring or fall booklet, you can download a copy from the Who We Are - Governance - Convocations section of www.dioswva.org. Please remember, too, that incidental costs, such as the cost of parking and breakfast, are not included in your Council 2014 registration fee. Council 2014 Check-In times:- Clergy and spouses--Friday, January 24, from 9:30 am to 10 am
- Lay Delegates, Alternates, Visitors--Friday, January 24, noon to 6 pm

The youth of the diocese are looking forward to sharing a meaningful, BRIEF (7:30-9 pm) Stop Hunger Now pack experience with Council on Saturday night following the banquet.
The pack will be set in the context of the Eucharist and will be prayerful and intentional--intentional about not wasting ingredients, intentional about the use of our hands for mission, and intentional about praying for those who so desperately need our help.
Please consider participating with the youth in this experience. It will be memorable, meaningful, and short!
