Claud Sr Board Room (2nd Floor) Isle of Wight County Courthouse Complex (in Old Courthouse - carry OK - see "Important Note," below) 17000 Josiah Parker Circle Isle of Wight, VA 23397 Time: 6 PM IMPORTANT NOTE: While it is called the “Old Courthouse building,” it actually houses the County’s Executive Branch, including the Board of Supervisor’s meeting room. So, carry IS allowed. Thanks for the prompt and courteous return call of Lt. James Pope with the Isle of Wight Sheriff’s Department, who confirmed the status of the building. If you plan on speaking, there will be a signup sheet in the meeting room. If you don’t plan on speaking, please show up anyway and stand with us. We will be handing out GSL stickers, please pick one up. Also let me know that you are there, speaking or not, so I have a good headcount. Here is some press coverage, including comments from VCDL: State gun rights group asking for support at Isle of Wight supervisors meeting http://www.dailypress.com/news/isle-of-wight-county/dp-nws-iw-notebook-0718-20160717-story.html or http://tinyurl.com/zdn2jhn — GOOD FOR A LAUGH A reporter from the Smithfield Times sent me this email (I kid you not). I am choosing to laugh and not cry. It will be interesting to see their coverage, as I’m sensing some bias: "Mr. Van Cleave, Why do you think it is necessary for members to attend the meeting armed? Is it an attempt to intimidate people? Thanks!" ------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** VA-ALERT is a project of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, Inc.
