It was a year of challenge, growth, and renewed commitment to our mission. We strengthened our advocacy, supported our chapters, embraced\u00a0<span class=\"il\">new<\/span>\u00a0ways to communicate and connect, and continued to stand firm in support of active and retired federal employees and their families. Progress is not always fast or easy, but it is real\u2014and it happens because of your dedication and perseverance.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to 2026, the opportunities before us are exciting. We have the chance to build on the momentum we\u2019ve created, grow our membership, deepen our legislative impact, and further modernize how we share our story and serve our members. Most importantly, we have the opportunity to lead with purpose\u2014listening to one another, valuing every voice, and working together for a stronger Federation and a stronger NARFE.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for all that you do\u2014often quietly, always faithfully\u2014to support our mission. I believe deeply in this organization, in our shared values, and in each of you. Together, we will continue to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>May the\u00a0<span class=\"il\">New Year<\/span>\u00a0bring you renewed energy, hope, and inspiration. I look forward to all we will accomplish together in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Warmest wishes for a\u00a0<span class=\"il\">happy New Year<\/span>,<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd img-fluid\" title=\"debbbie\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/meips\/ADKq_NZiC_wgeCOtM5nLotGxmwM9Wh9nxQwAD7aZsOgPwg37tfDxlO7KZ6nSYVSP1z8cI92JSaQDcNrme_55Uu_J8H5T6k-HSl9IfbPOYsqyK4fU8Oim9aVI9D2cWiUNXnFmAUlUVIfnxf5BwuZsecW2Mg1UNjwyXKboP6nh5qcgXqNCy9j1NbN7=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com\/NARFE\/UploadedImages\/6wZXj1QrTm2qhwGShSlh_dof-signature-daisy-L.png\" alt=\"image\" width=\"93\" height=\"42\" data-bit=\"iit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Virginia Federation of NARFE, welcomes the\u00a0New Year, I want to extend  heartfelt wishes to every member of the Virginia Federation of NARFE for a\u00a0happy, healthy, and prosperous 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"kp-content-permissions":[],"class_list":["post-1660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2026\/01\/happy-new-year-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1662,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1660\/revisions\/1662"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1660"},{"taxonomy":"kp-content-permissions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.narfe.org\/va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kp-content-permissions?post=1660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
