SOVA Area 6 Board Members and World Athletes and Their Families at the December 2012 Board Meeting
SOVA Area 6 board members celebrated the holidays early with a dinner after our brief December board meeting. During the meeting Area 6 was thrilled to welcome our new Secretary, Jen Bolles and new Chesterfield Fund Raising Volunteer, Maggy Kriebel. The experience and assistance of both are warmly welcome and greatly appreciated by Special Olympics Area 6 which covers Amelia, Chesterfield, Goochland, New Kent, Powhatan, and West Point.
