Meetings

Monthly Meetings

We meet the first Friday of each month at Olive Garden, 1925 Valley View Blvd NW, Roanoke, VA 24012.   No meetings are held in June and July; December’s meeting may be held at a different location. We have socializing and sign-in between 11:30 and 11:45 a.m.; the business meeting is called to order at 11:50 a.m., followed by lunch, and a program on topics of interest to the federal community and our members.

We cordially invite all active and retired federal employees to attend our meetings. If you are eligible to join NARFE, consider attending one of our meetings; the chapter will pay for your lunch. No strings attached!
