Congratulations to Joyce Higgs, Roanoke chapter, who was elected National President. Joyce has served the Roanoke chapter in many ways over the years she has been a member. The last four she raised hundreds of dollars as their Ways and Means Chairman.

She has served on the National level as Secretary, Jewelry, Nominating and Publications Chairmen. Say NARBW – and Joyce is there! She has many years of experience at all levels of our organization and will be an enthusiastic and supportive leader. Congratulations Joyce!

The Roanoke ladies hosted a St. Patrick’s Day Party for the veterans at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Salem, Virginia.  Alverta Steptoe, a former VA employed nurse, planned the whole affair. 

The members brought finger food, cakes, drinks and ice cream and served approximately twenty patients.  It was quite an experience for the ten members that attended; it made them realize how grateful we should be to our Veterans.  What a memorable day!!! View Event Photos
