Everyone take a seat. Take a seat. All right, it is two. There's more than one way to get folks attention. All right, everyone. Happy April. Happy April Fool's Day. We are going to start today's meeting with a moment of silence.
Deshundra Jefferson 45:26
Thank you. All rise, if you are able, for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All righty. We've got a pretty good crowd today. So we're moving on to agenda item number three, approval of the minutes. I would like to get a motion to approve the minutes from March 4th and March 11th. So move, Madam

And before I go down, I'd like to note that 4F is going to be presented at our 7 o'clock meeting. All right, for 4A, if Supervisor Franklin, if you would like to join me. For 4B, I would like to have Supervisors Gordy and Vega. And I think that's it. And then later today, 4F, Supervisor Vega, if you would join me for that. So with that, Woodbirds Women's Club 60th Anniversary, please join us at the side so we can give you your commendation.

Deshundra Jefferson 47:09
you. Okay. For item 4A, we'd like to commend the Woodbridge Women's Club for their 60th anniversary. The General Federation of Women's Clubs, Woodbridge Women's Club, was founded on March 15, 1965 by 35 ladies who wanted to provide service to the community and is now celebrating its 60th anniversary. Over the past 60 years, the Woodbridge Women's Club has awarded over 194 scholarships to local college-bound high school seniors with awards totaling more than $170,000. They've provided clothing, supplies, and warm hats to students at the Featherstone and Occoquan Elementary Schools. They volunteered at Fellowship House and supports it with yarn, prizes, and holiday decorations and snacks. They've also sewed heart-shaped pillows and other comfort items for the cancer and surgical patients at Sentira Hospital.
Deshundra Jefferson 48:51
And several other ways that together led the Prince William Chamber of Commerce to nominate the Woodbridge Women's Club for the Agnes Colgan Award for Community Service. Today, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors commends the Woodbridge Women's Club for their 60th anniversary, and we affirm and recognize that the Woodbridge Women's Club is an outstanding contributor to the success of Prince William County.
Lucy Williams 49:25
Thank you. Chair Jefferson and Supervisor Franklin, and Honorable... Honorable members of the board, good afternoon. And thank you for the honor and the recognition of our 60th anniversary. Thank you all. My name is Lucy Williams. I'm sorry I didn't say that first. I'm the president of the Woodbridge Women's Club, and I stand here today with members of our club. And there are some of our board members here, Pam, Montgomery, Carol Bowen, Lori Post, Kathy McNeely, and Pat White, and Karen Townsend, and all the members of the Woodbridge Women's Club. Not everybody, but who we have here today. So, and we... and we express our sincere gratitude for this recognition. We are committed to helping our local community.
Lucy Williams 50:31
We're working collaboratively. We exchange ideas, which enables us to achieve our goals of dedicated service to our community. Over the past 60 years, we have provided over $171,000 in scholarships to the Prince William County students, provided hundreds of service hours in our Prince William County schools, volunteering in the classrooms, reading, teacher appreciation, breakfast, providing much-needed supplies for the students. Our heart-shaped pillow projects for cancer and heart patients earned us media recognition and dollars, which provided right back into our community. Now our recent project is Adopt a Bus Shelter and we're working with Keep Prince William Beautiful and the director there has commissioned an artist to depict what we want to do
