The Cathedral Close

On Wednesday evening last, the Saint Alban’s Men’s Club enjoyed a great evening of fellowship and food at its monthly meeting. The monthly dinner, which included both beef and pork barbecue, was followed by the customary brief business meeting and a speaker. This month’s program featured Mr. Paul Nardo, Chief of Staff to the Speaker of the Virginia House of Representatives. Paul gave an insightful presentation entitled “Understanding Virginia’s Budget & Finances-the 2011 Legislative Session”. The program afforded the group an experienced insider’s perspective on the budget process and some of the key issues for the upcoming session of our Commonwealth’s General Assembly, a truly-part time body which must accomplish its work in a 45-60 day period. As always, the meeting began and ended with prayer.
The next meeting of the Saint Alban’s Men’s Club is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Watch The Cathedral Close and our Facebook page for an announcement of the speaker.
