Message from the President

Dear VTRCC Members and Friends,

On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank our members for their continued support. We would like to extend warm holiday greetings to all of our friends and extended family. Have a safe holiday season.

During the month of December, the VTRCC will host its annual Holiday Luncheon sponsored by Goodman & Company on Tuesday, December 14 at Marco Polo Restaurant. The Madison High School Madrigals will sing holiday music for our enjoyment. Bring a “Toys for Tots” toy for a child and receive $10 off the December Holiday Lunch price. As an added bonus for members that attend, there will be a fabulous door prize from Boone & Sons Jewelers. This is a great gift for that special someone so make your reservations today!

In January, we will be updating our sponsor list for the year. There are three new sponsorship levels (Platinum, Gold, and Silver) which give prime exposure to member companies that sign up as a strategic partner with the VTRCC. Several members have expressed interest, but please remember that our partners and sponsors are selected on a first-come first-served basis. Don't delay; there are limited partnership and sponsorship opportunities available. I would like to thank Northwest Federal Credit Union, Nautilus Communications, The Networking Community, Welcome Wagon, and Whole Foods Market®…Vienna for their 2004 sponsorship of our Web site and/or newsletter.

While individual networking is an important way to meet other Chamber members, being publicized as a sponsor of a Chamber event is a quick and easy way to reach out to many members and nonmembers. From economists to educators, or from gamblers to golfers, Chamber activities include many different people. Where would you like to see your company's name? There are sponsorships available to reach many varied audiences and to suit almost any budget! Call 703-281-1333 for more information.

In order to grow our Chamber and implement programs of interest for our members, area businesses, and the community, I need your help. If you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas that you think the VTRCC should consider, or if you would like to schedule a time to meet with me to discuss business concerns, please call 703-281-1333 or email me at gpowersjr@vtrcc.org. Remember, Wednesday, December 22 the office will close at 12:00 Noon for the Holidays and will reopen on Monday, January 3.

Happy Holidays,

Francis Gary Powers, Jr.
President

Legislative Affairs
By Supervisor Joan DuBois

As winter approaches, everyone is back to their routines and busy preparing for the upcoming holidays. As a newer member of the Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce, I would like to introduce our Hunter Mill District neighbors to the Dranesville District.

Dranesville District of Fairfax County includes McLean, Great Falls, Herndon, and parts of Falls Church and Vienna. Each neighborhood has its own distinctive energy and charm, making our district a dynamic place to live.

The leaves may be falling from the trees and the colors in our parks may be changing, but a wide variety of programs are still going on and there are numerous opportunities to continue to explore the natural world around us. The Dranesville District offers a myriad of activities for the outdoors enthusiast. Approximately 500+ acres of public open space, including Great Falls Park, Claude Moore Colonial Farm, Scotts Run Nature Preserve, Turner Farm, and Riverbend Park offer citizens a wealth of enjoyable opportunities. Wolf Trap Farm Park, the only National Park in the country dedicated to the performing arts is also in the Dranesville District. Nestled between Tysons Corner and Reston, Colvin Run Mill has an early 19-century wooden water wheel and operating gristmill. The old Miller's House features an exhibit about the process of milling and the families who operated the mill. Another exhibit in the renovated 20th-century dairy barn features the history of the Great Falls community around the mill. We have an extensive network of trails including sections of the historic W & OD Trail, and various stream valley trails throughout the district. I hope you will have the opportunity to take advantage of our park system as it is an ideal place to take those holiday visitors. Spring Hill RecCenter is a great place to work off some of those pounds from your Thanksgiving meal.

As we approach this holiday season, remember to be thankful for the successes you have achieved, and for the challenges you have met. My best wishes for a wonderful holiday season, good health and for a bright and beautiful new year.

The Vienna Jaycees want Chamber members and friends to know about these upcoming events:

Virginia International University (VIU) wants to let supporters know that they have partnered with a company called One-Time Fundraising, Inc. to create funds for VIU. Now supporters can help even more without taking any extra money out of their pockets. One-Time Fundraising has provided an online E-Mall to give supporters the continued convenience of shopping without leaving home. VIU’s very own shopping mall has over 1300 stores and more than a million products and services for you to choose from. If it can be bought, it can be bought on our shopping mall-- and a generous percentage of the profit comes back to VIU in a monthly check. So relax at home in front of your computer and shop to your heart’s delight. You can also help by forwarding this information to friends and relatives so they too can help. Visit the mall at http://www.otfmall.com/viu.

The Vienna Arts Society (VAS) and its new Vienna Art Center are thriving and growing. In the past few months the Center had a successful Chamber of Commerce mixer which resulted in three items being sold and new contacts, as well as a reception for the Loft Gallery exhibition which resulted in seven paintings and one jewelry item being sold. The VAS wishes to thank the Loft Gallery members for bringing their exhibition on the road to our center and helping VAS become recognized within their sphere of clients and fellow artists. Many thanks too, to Maureen Kammerer and Carolyn Koslow for the work they did in making these events happen.
Be sure to check out these upcoming events (volunteers are needed):

Declaring the need for local autonomy in his inaugural speech, Fairfax County Chairman Gerald E. Connolly assumed the presidency of the Virginia Association of Counties. Because local governments are on the front lines of today’s challenges, like terrorism, Connolly called for an end to the Dillon Rule, so localities can chart their own course. VACo plays a critical role in lobbying the General Assembly on regional issues like education and transportation funding and is especially important because the state limits localities’ powers through the Dillon Rule. Conceived in the depths of the Great Depression, when acting separately meant failing alone, VACo sprang from an initiative of the counties themselves. Today, VACo continues to support county officials, to promote the interests of counties, and to better serve the people of Virginia. The association is governed by a board of directors made up of government officials representing 95 local governments. For more information, call the Chairman’s office at 703-324-2321, TTY 703-324-2319, or call VACo at 804-788-6652, TTY 711.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Highlights Successful 2004 Pro-Business Elections Effort. With the 2004 elections now over, the U.S. Chamber has completed an unprecedented nationwide effort with our federation partners, volunteers and others, to elect pro-business House and Senate candidates by implementing the biggest Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) campaign in our history! Check out our excellent web site: http://www.VoteForBusiness.com. In 2004, the U.S. Chamber invested significantly more resources in ground operations, electronic communications, and a huge GOTV program with our federation partners and others. They sent out 3.7 million pieces of mail, placed 5.6 million telephone calls, and dispatched more than 30 million pieces of mail in support of voter turnout. They also conducted numerous fundraisers and Meet & Greet events to help raise resources for our endorsed Congressional candidates and build business community support for their campaigns. In addition, more than 36,000 GOTV kits were sent to corporations, small businesses, associations, and chambers of commerce nationwide. These kits and other U.S. Chamber resources have helped these organizations run their own GOTV campaigns to get employees to the polls.
