5. Last chance for a 2023 tax deduction
   The VCJC always needs and appreciates your support!  If you can make a donation now, it will be included in your 2023 tax return!  You can go to our donations page to make a general donation or go become a supporter here.

6. Your opinion is requested

   The VCJC Board has had discussions about having group meetings that we have not quite clarified as a book club, a current events discussion group, a mix of those, or something else.  Please send us an email with your thoughts on the matter.  We are interested in whether this is something you would attend and participate in, how frequently you think it should meet, what mix of topics it should address, and any other thoughts you might have.  Thanks in advance.
