WVURA Annual Meeting
Our annual meeting was our first gathering since March 2020. It was good to see our friends again. We had a short business meeting, a speaker, the Mountaineer, and entertainment by the Hillbilly Gypsies. We elected new board members, enjoyed the refreshments, and had a wonderful time!
