A Very Special Thank You From One of Our Military Christmas Boxes
Dear Ma’am,
I am CTR2 (name withheld) currently in the Navy stationed in FDNF Japan. I hope this is the correct email and gets to the right people. I recently got a care package from the NSDAR William Byrd Chapter and I would like to thank you so much for the package you sent me for the holidays. This will be my third holiday season away from home and family. It truly means so much to see the care and support from people back especially those who I don’t personally know. The packages made my month and I can’t thank you enough for your effort and thoughts. The box is actually one the best care packages I’ve gotten before I loved and enjoyed all of the snacks included and shared them with some fellow shipmates who want to say thank you as well. Again thank you so much for the support and packages I hope you have a happy and safe holiday season!
Very Respectfully,

Cocoa Who!?
Are we talking about Coco Chanel or Coca-cola or HOT COCOA? No! In November, member and honorary regent Frances Broaddus Crutchfield presented a fascinating program giving us a look into the person of Cockacoeske, the Pamunkey Indian queen who led a coalition of tribes for some thirty years in the latter half of the seventeenth century, and who brokered peace with the English settlers.
Cockacoeske was chosen as one of the twelve very significant women in Virginia's history to be memorialized in the Virginia Women's Monument at the state capitol. Check her out!
