We are motivated to serve, because we care.
Happy Spring!! The next general membership meeting will be on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at 12:00 noon, at Famous Uncle Al's Dog House, 3972 Holland Road #120 in Virginia Beach. RSVP is required. Please RSVP by Friday, May 16, 2025, to Nancy Moore, text or call 757-576-3405, or email to [email protected].
VBREA invoices for 2025 dues were mailed out last fall and, if you have not already, we would appreciate returning the invoice with your dues as soon as possible. Delinquent notices have been mailed out for those not yet returned. Dues not received by June 1 will result in dropping the individual from the active roster and email list. If you have any questions, please email us and we will get a reply to you.
At the April meeting, I announced that the position of VBREA Treasurer will be vacant later this year. Donna Brehm, who has served in this position for several years will be moving before the end of her elected term. The Board is now looking for a member to serve the rest of this term (to the end of 2025). If you are interested, please contact us via email at [email protected].
Elections for the positions of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer will be held at our annual meeting in November. It's not to early to start thinking about becoming a VBREA Board member. If you are interested in joining the VBREA Board, think about coming to one of our Board meetings. Please contact [email protected] if you would like to attend so you will have the correct meeting time and location. Our start time varies depending on the agenda. Also, take a look at the Bylaws and Duties and Responsibilities documents on the ABOUT US page of this website to see what each position entails.
The VBREA Facebook page has been up and running for a few months now. Please search Facebook for VBREA or Virginia Beach Retired Employees Association or go to the link at the bottom of every page of this website or at the bottom of any VBREA email you receive. You must be an active VBREA member to join. If the site does not ask you to join, you are NOT on the OFFICIAL VBREA Facebook page. There are other CVB retiree Facebook pages that do not require membership, but VBREA does not administer those sites, so make sure you are joining the correct one to insure you see official posts from us.
Get Involved!! VBREA is looking for a volunteer to serve as the chair of our Benefits Committee as well as members to serve on the committee. We are also looking for a volunteer to serve as the chair of our Membership Committee as well as members to serve on the committee. The Communications Committee is also seeking additional members. You, the members, make VBREA what it is by participating! Please email us at [email protected] if you would like to volunteer. Please help to continue making VBREA a wonderful organization for City of Virginia Beach retirees.
For those of you who cannot make it to the meetings, Board meeting minutes are posted on the "Stay Connected" page of the website. Information from our speakers is posted on the "Services and Opportunities" page. Check out the valuable information and brochures our speakers have provided.
The Involvement Committee is continuing to work out details for alternate sites for our meetings. If you have any suggestions for meeting sites and/or speakers, please email their information to the attention of our Involvement Committee at [email protected].
The VBREA website is updated often so check it out often to stay informed about events and other messages posted which relate to retirement issues. Add VBREA.org to your favorites. Also, check your email often for important information from VBREA as blasts are sent by the Communications Committee. Check your Spam folder just in case the VBREA emails end up there. Also check the calendar for upcoming VBREA and City events. So much is going on and I want each retiree to be informed and enjoy. Be sure to inform us with address changes if you move or if you change your email address so you don't miss any communication from us.
Remember, this is your organization and the members make it what it is.
