Tuesday, January 22 2008 is your opportunity to demonstrate support for historic preservation in Virginia. You will help influence important legislation to protect the Commonwealth's historic resources by meeting with your legislators and preservation colleagues on Virginia Preservation Day. As a constituent, your endorsement of the statewide agenda that APVA Preservation Virginia is bringing to the 2008 session of the General Assembly is vital.

A special highlight of this year's program is a presentation by Elizabeth Tune, Manager of the Office of Preservation Incentives and Easement Program Coordinator for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources on the recently completed study on the positive economic impact of Virginia's Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program.
So, please mark your calendars and plan to participate!

Please R.S.V.P. by Monday, January 14, 2007.

Before coming to Preservation Day on January 22, we recommend you contact your legislator(s) to set up an appointment between 10 a.m. and noon. While this is not imperative, it does send the message that preservation issues are a priority for their constituents. If you do not know who your legislator is, go to "Who's My Legislator?:" http://conview.state.va.us/whosmy.nsf/main?openform

One special note: Please consider the opportunity to sponsor historic preservation in Virginia. Your generous support allows APVA Preservation Virginia to provide this educational seminar and other programming that helps to inform residents across the Commonwealth about the value and importance of historic preservation.
