For your travel planning purposes, the Annual Meeting & Legislative Conference will begin at 8:30 a.m., Sunday, June 14^th and adjourn at approximately 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16^th.  The meeting brochure, which includes detailed information on daily committee meetings, as well as education and training sessions, will be sent to CARH members in May.

CARH is known for hosting the Opening Reception at a well-known landmark in Washington, DC, and this year is no exception.  We are excited to announce that the Opening Reception for this meeting will be held at the Army and Navy Club on Farragut Square!  The Army and Navy Club includes the most illustrious names in America’s military history as its members. Generals, political leaders, one of the first men to land on the moon, the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic, and participants in the first around-the-world flight belong to this historic club. The day of the Reception, June 14, is also Flag Day, which commemorates the adoption of the United States flag. The United States Army also celebrates the Army Birthday on this date.  What a perfect place for CARH members to recognize these two events!

The Scholarship Foundation will also present its five scholarship winners at a breakfast on Tuesday, June 16.  Also during this breakfast, Rural Development will award its national Site Managers of the Year winners and for the first time, the Maintenance Person of the Year.   Everyone should make plans to attend this important event during the meeting.

Don’t miss the opportunity to meet with Members of Congress and promote legislation and policies that are beneficial to CARH members nationwide!  Please register now!  We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
